I took advantage of the recent Priceline 40% off sale and picked up a couple of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel nail lacquers (Pinky Promise and Sugar Fix) for only $10.17 each, instead of the usual $16.95. The revolutionary formula is apparently part lacquer and part gel, with no UV/LED lights required for curing. Your manicure is meant to last up to 14 days, which is a hell of a lot longer than ordinary polish. Personally, I'd be happy just to get 7 chip-free days of 'colour and shine'. I'm not holding my breath though, because I forgot to buy the top coat that activates the curing! Oops! Another advantage is that you can apparently remove Miracle Gel like you would normal polish; no soaking, wrapping or scraping (say what?) required.
I needed two coats to achieve opaqueness and cover a few streaky bits. The formula is super smooth and the brush is flat (much like the fan brush of the Bourjois 1 Second gel effect range) which means application is fast and easy. Also, I love this colour! Pinky Promise is a gorgeous light pastel pink. Miracle Gel gives a shiny, smooth-looking finish, and I must say, so far I'm impressed!
Sally Hansen Miracle Gel nail lacquer (rrp $16.95) is available at Priceline, Target, Chemist Warehouse and Kmart.

Yes, so happy I picked it! xx
DeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy!
DeleteI like the blush colour one! I'd be interested to know what you think a few days on. I bought the varnish that supposedly stops chipping but I found after a few days mine chipped just as much as any normal nail polish. It was disappointing but then again I'm pretty hard on my hands and nails.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this one started chipping after a few days, too. I really should have bought their special top coat!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous soft colour! Very flattering on.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think this is a universally flattering shade!
DeleteAnd thank you for joining in the link up fun of Monday Makeup Madness. xx
DeleteNo worries, happy to be a part of it!
DeleteOh I love a mani and I find it so hard to get to the nail salon with 2 babies to get the shellac off. This sounds perfect for a busy mum that likes nice nails. You will have to let us know how long it lasts!!!
ReplyDeleteIt started chipping after a few days unfortunately (but not as badly as normal polish does)! I should have bought the top coat.
DeleteThat looks like such a good colour! Might have to see if I can find some in the UK at some point :)
