Sally HansenMiracle Gel, Slate-r Girl, Long Lasting, Gel-Like Formula, No UV Lamp Needed, Opaque, Shiny Grey Nail Polish

I love this so much I accidentally bought it twice!I bought my first Miracle Gel nail polish when I saw a pretty teal color around Easter time last year and then I realized I had to buy Step 2 also, but the color was so pretty I bought both.This particular review is about this lovely dark green shade. I thought it went on as smoothly as any of the Miracle Gels I’ve used before, and covered nicely in two coats. It could ALMOST have been one cost but the color is so dark that it was still visible that it was thin in some places. With the Step 2 coat that I put on top, this lasted me about a week before starting to chip. I used a sparkly gold/iridescent Step 2 and the one thing about doing that is it made the green seem even darker and at a glance it seemed more black than green. But I haven’t found a good medium green shade and this seemed good for Christmas, reminiscent of evergreens, so I’m still pretty happy with it.The one thing I have never loved about these Miracle Gels is that they don’t want you to bother with a base coat. They do go on well even without one, and they don’t stain my nails with their colors. But I still often use a base coat with them (Orly Top 2 Bottom is nice) and I feel like they’re a bit more resilient when I do. I have in the past misplaced my Step 2 and they seem to do OK with a different topcoat too, in a pinch.

Love this top coat. Very shiny and strong. It’s my go to for years

Love the color and ease of use. It doesn’t chip. I have had it on my toenails for three weeks and it still hasn’t chipped. I did freshen it up a bit due to toenail growth but other than that does not show wear. Highly recommend for its durability.

I am a stay at home mom with two little ones. I don't have time nor the patience to sit at a nail salon for over an hour to get my nails done. I am always washing something or someone so my hands are always touching water. Because of that my manicure starts to chip or peel a few days after I get my nails done. I do feel like money has been wasted. So I purchased this product in hopes that the claims are true as well as to do my nails on my own when the children are in bed at the end of the day. I ordered the"Street Flair" polish. I washed my hands and then used nail polish remover to make sure that my nails are clean and oil free. ( I use a lot of hand lotion) This polish does seem a bit thin than other polishes but it dries super fast so I can quickly move on to a second coat. I follow that with 2 coats of the clear top coat (letting each coat dry in between).I did not alter my routine by one bit. My nail color looked great for a full 7 days EVEN with all the hand and people washing! The high gloss on my nails were a bit dull so I just put another coat of clear on and they looked good as the first day I put the color on. By day 9 I did start to see some chipping and the very edge of the nail but no peeling. I just touched it up and another coat of clear polish and like new again! A day or so later I started to notice cracks and more chips on my nails. I think it was because I am hard on my nail along with many layers of clear polish that were on my nails now. It did not matter anyway because I was now getting tired of the color. The color did not last 14 days as advertised but it did last a lot longer compared to when my nails are done at a salon. I am perfectly happy with this product. So much so I purchased wine stock. I cannot wait to try it out.

I purchased the Pink Tank color. I didn't have the top coat so I only applied the color and a top coat I had on hand. The pictures are after 24hrs of wear. I know it's not a long time, but my nail bed is oily and usually by the next day I have tons of chips. I've been typing, cleaning and working out. So far so good. I will say if you don't prep your nail bed properly before applying, no nail polish will last long. This isn't a gel manicure. It's durable nail polish that drys very fast and last longer than the typical nail polish. The lighter colors leave streaks so go with dark colors. It has the wider nail brush so it's easy to apply in just three strokes.How I applied:Acetone & cotton ball to remove old polish from nailsWash hands and nails with liquid soapFile and shapeLightly file the top of nail, especially tips, to rough up the surface to help polish adhereUse alcohol to clean the nails and remove any oilsApply color in 3 sweeping motions, center, then down one side then the otherWait for color to completely dry. Don't skip this step.After it's dried add the top coatWait for it to dry completely, then add a second top coat.After 2 days apply another top coat to help it last longer.(Edited: the last picture is after 2 days of wear and me reapplying top coat for protection. The Nail polish defiantly chips within a day or two but only small amount. This polish does last longer than others I've tried but not a week.)UPDATE:I purchased the #669 Let's Get Digital. The picture shows my nails with 2 coats. It's very very light color with iridescent and glitter. This would be a nice to add on top of a dark nail polish to add sparkle to it.

It has a nice brush , it’s easier to use than other brands I’ve tried. The color has a nice shine to it and you really only need to use one coat.

I applied this matte top coat over regular polish and it gave it a true matte finish. I didn't expect it to work so well, so I'm really happy with my purchase. It lasts a long time also, which is a big plus.

Very pretty color, I thought you would have to put 3 or more coats on because I thought it would be really shear. Two coats does it and it’s a beautiful !I doing usually buy tan natural colors but I bought a few more natural colors this year as they are in for 2024.I’m really loving it and getting lots of compliments.Would recommend & definitely will repurchase when I run out!

Très beau aussi

Great product. Polish lasted quite a few days without chipping.

Red without top coat in photo. This is by far best I've tried yet for nailpolish. Dried super fast and in perfect condition as u see. 1 coat with red is all I did and it's so vibrant. Bought this for my daughter and now I'm thinking I need this set too.

Color, easy application, long lasting
