Sally Hansen Miracle Gel System
Tuesday, April 03, 2018Sally Hansen Miracle Gel System - Provided for review by Influenster
If you're anything like me you've definitely heard about gel-like polishes, but you haven't tried them yet. Gel-like polishes are supposed to mimic the wear time of gel without the hassle of curing or long removal time. My very first experience with gel-like polish is thanks to Sally Hansen and Influenster.
The application for Sally Hansen Miracle Gels work like this:
- Apply one shade of color.
- Follow up with a second coat of color.
- Allow color to dry for five minutes
- Apply Miracle Gel Top Coat
Get Mod
Formula: Bubbly
Finish: True white gel-like polish
Coverage: 2 coats
Price: $6-10
Notes: I didn't test the wear time on this shade because the bubbles drove me nuts. I really wanted to have a good, long wearing white but bubbles are an immediate nope for me. While the instructions tell you to wait five minutes I likely waited 10-20 minutes between steps. I often do my nails when blogging and tend to give everything excessive dry time on accident.
Jealous Boyfriend
Formula: Nice consistency
Finish: Hunter green gel like polish
Coverage: 2 coats
Price: $6-10
Notes: While I skipped the base coat on Get Mod, I opted to use one underneath Jealous Boyfriend because greens like this stain my nails most of the time. Jealous Boyfriend applied quite well over a base coat.
I didn't get great wear time with either shade (both chipped within 24 hours), so I can't say that either product are "miracles" for me. I am notoriously rough on my hands, but I have regular drugstore brands with better wear time than these. I'm still a fan of Sally Hansen, but the Miracle Gel line doesn't seem to be a great fit for me.
