I followed the directions and the chipping at the top edges was very noticeable only after 5 days. I didn't have time to redo them until day 8 so they looked awful at work all week. I read another review that said they dried them outside in SUN light and hers improved so I'm going to try that in the morning. The directions say "let natural light do the rest", is that what they mean, we need to do our nails outside? So disappointed, especially for the cost!

Love this nail polish it gives the gel look with the ease of an at home manicure  only problem I’ve had is that it doesn’t seem to last as long as a salon manicure. The color is just gorgeous! This brand definitely does better than the cheap brands at getting the gel nail effect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never at to have my nails so when I do my nails I want something good that will last. I waited to do my survey and review so I could see how the polish lasted. I've used Sally Hansen before but not with the top coat, and I'm going to say the top coat is totally a game changer. My polish still looks good 5 days later and as a stay at.home mom I'm constantly, changing diapers, washing hands and dishes so my hands have been through the mill! For me the only down fall is dry time. I don't often get long to myself so it makes doing more than 2 nails at once hard

I was looking for a product to give me that clean sleek black look like I just went to the nail salon. This products work pretty well to accomplish that I tried it without a base coat or top coat to see how the product raw worked and I found it to be pretty durable. I would recommend this nail polish it is a little pricy but altogether pretty fantastic!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] SALLY Hansen miracle gel & top coat is an amazing product. This nail polish is just as good as going to the salon but a fraction of the cost, easy to apply. No mess, no hastle.. Love this stuff.. several colors to pick from, perfect for girls night slumberparties, or a romantic evening.. I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review of the product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail polish is amazing! No chips after week of having it on. I work with my hands and I'm washing my hands constantly throughout the day. Most nail polishes chip by day 2 but not Sally Hansen Miracle Gel. I will be buying more colors of this brand!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel nail color and top coat in the color Birthday Suit for testing and reviewing, courtesy of Home Tester Club. Application of the nail polish was simple: Step 1 - apply two coats of the nail color, let dry for 5 minutes, then paint the nails with the Step 2 clear top coat to create wonderful shine and twice the volume, and the look of real gel nails without needing any UV light to dry. I love how shiny and even my nails came out after drying up! What I liked most is that the nail polish lasts for many days, even though I wash dishes by hand several times a day! It lasted close to a whole week without chipping, which impressed me! This nail polish promises "up to 14 days of color and shine", which for me was not quite true and that's why I rate this product a 4 out of 5 stars, but I still love the beautiful color and shine, and can't wait to try the other pretty colors available! I highly recommend this product and will purchase more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seems a really good nail varnish. It comes in a good size and the brush is brilliant. It comes in a good selection of colours to choose from. It took a good week with no chips but it did start to crack. I'll try it out again and see if it does the same. The top coat seems brilliant and seems to really lock in the colour

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn't sure what to expect from this product, but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not the best at applying nail polish, but this one went one pretty smoothly, minimal bubbling, and had a satisfying vinyl lacquer look when dry. It dried much quicker than I expected. It did take a bit longer for the top coat, but since I didn't expose it to any sunlight, I suppose that is to be expected. Overall, I was quite pleased with this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the color, got so many compliments!! The wear time was that of a normal nail polish though, even with the top coat. I will probably on by this one because I like the color so much and use my own top coat. Wear time was about 4 days..then started to wear at the tips and chip on the sides.
