Most Helpful Positive Review A little hard to remove, but love them! I use my Sally Hansen gel polishes with my CND Shellac Lamp & I notice I do have to do 1.30 - 2 min with a good coat- not sheer, not thick. You do want to take your time & apply a "almost" sheer coat as your first coat & then a little thicker coat as your second. I don't apply more than 2 coats as I find it harder to remove if you apply too thick of coats, or more than 2 coats of polish. (Not including base & top coat) the colors are a little off. I do have a couple polishes, but they go on beautiful! I haven't had these bubble or crack like I have with others. Just remember to do all your edges & tips to prevent faster peeling. Other than that, I love them & would recommend them to anyone.
Most Helpful Critical Review Pros and Cons The first time I used this product it was great. The Red My Lips was an awesome color and the nails looked like I had freshly come from the nail salon. The second gel polish I got was White Away, it was barely white, but still a pretty color. Today I got Jaded and Glitter Chatter and am extremely disappointed. Three of the four gel polishes I've bought have a thin consistency and look nothing like the picture on the outside of the box. I recommend looking for real life photos of these polish's on Pinterest or Google before purchasing.

I bought two of these on clearance and I lament not buying all available colours! I applied Glisten Up [a lovely glittery charcoal]! December 27 2020 and today I got my first chip (January 13th) after trying to pry a container open. I have used other brands but this one is the only one that is opaque after two coats and that lasts this long. I do all the household chores and crafty hobbies, hence I use my hands a lot. I am very impressed with this polish.
my new favorite gel polish 5
LisyP from homestead, fl
I was looking for gel polishes and stumbled upon this brand. I was initially looking for a dark color but found one that is called Pink Pong and knew I had to get it since its a color I really like a lot. I ended up buying just that color since I said to myself, I'll try it first and see if I really like it. Now I bought it and used it and LOVE the color and product so much I have to get a few of the other colors as well.
I will buy this again! 4

Better than the nail salon 5
KayHart337 from Lake Charles, LA
I purchased purplexed & love it! Thicker than the products at the nail salon & lasts longer. I just need more color options like the miracle gel line.
Not black 2
Mrl4 from Dallas, TX
"Pat on the Black" implies a black color but this is just a dark maroon. Not what was expected. Disappointing.
Better than CND! 5
123happy with my nails from San Diego
I have done my nails 1x now. I was worried about removing because CND was the only brand that didn't dry out and peel off my real nail. My manicures last 3 weeks! Better than tha salon. I really like the natural look of she's we dance color. Definitely worth the investment! I want more colors, but sad there aren't a lot to choose from.
Limited color choice 4

I love the product. But need more colors. These are getting boring real fast
Great gel polish 5
MRLtx from Dallas, TX
Full disclosure, I'm using this polish with Red Carpet Manicure's base and top coats. This polish has been on for a full week and hasn't changed. No chips, no change in shade; just perfect. Unlike some gel polish formulas, this was also not a thin watery texture so application wasn't very easy. I'd definitely buy this again.
Dries quick! 5
GinnaBug from Greenville SC
My mom got me the kit as a gift and I LOVE it! I love getting my nails done, but with the virus right now that's not going to happen. The color lasts and does not chip. I just need to buy the nail guards to make it a little more even lol
Incorrect Color 3
Sarayray from Phoenix, AZ
So I'll start by saying the polish itself is good quality. Overall I gave 3 stars because the "Sequin Stiletto" is advertised as like a sparkly pastel pinkish color but once placed and cured it is more of a rose gold.
Better then regular polish! 4
Amelia from Hollywood
I absolutely love this system for a few reasons. one, there's no drying time. When I finish a nail I can get up and go and deal with my golden retrievers and just leave behind all of the annoying worries of ruining a manicure by touching something too soon or too roughly. It's easy to use, it's self-leveling, it lasts in my case for 2 weeks before I need to redo it and that's simply because of growth. What I'm not exactly a fan of is some colors like the red tends to chip quicker. I also have noticed that the base coat and the overcoat bottles are never full when you get them and the bottles are black so you can't actually see that. I believe this is a dirty marketing scheme. I say this because the color bottles I have never yet had to replace one and I have had them for two years most of them. But the #1 and #3 I basically have to replace them every fifth manicure and I'm only doing one coat of each! I don't like that and I think that's shady.
Amazing 5
neribel from Jacksonville Florida
I normally do my nails at the salon but since the salon is closed due to this pandemic I went and did my nails myself. I cure my nails with another brands top coat the results were amazing. These sally hansen gel polish lasted weeks. Im definitely buying more colors!!!!
This was not even close to the image color 3
CatP from Upstate New York
The polish overall was nice. But the color wasn't even close! I wanted the soft neutral color that was on the box and in the image when I ordered this. The actual color is a very sparkly copper color. Had way more glitter than the image and was not even close to neutral. Tried it anyway to see if it would dry lighter. It actually dried more copper.
Amazing results 5
Unique from California
I was reluctant to try because I always just get my nails done. But with this pandemic going on, and all the nail shops being closed. I had to try something. I read all the reviews and tried it today for the first time. Super easy to use and came out amazing. I have already started to look at other colors and more base, top coat and wipes.
don't waste your money 3

it peels easily
Easy to use with great results! 5
Kim45 from Ohio
I tried this polish for the first time yesterday and I am in love. It is easy to use and gives salon level results if you are patient.
Its only downfall is the limited selection of colors. Sally should be promoting this product and expanding the line. Salon like results at home without the infection risks of a salon.
The color is amazing 5
Diana from Virginia
Sally Hansen has done well with the quality of this gel nail polishes, they last more than 10 days, actually you just get tired of the color, but they don't peel if you hit your nails with something, they look like professional manicure
Pretty color and SPARKLES!! - Sequin Stiletto Pink 5
AllieCat from San Jose, CA
I loved being able to get a sparkly color. Most gel polishes are opaque and boring. It was thin so went on very easily. Two coats of color, with base and top coat, was perfect. Just followed the instructions and it's great.
Sally Hansen is not doing themselves any favors by having Miracle Gel polish and regular gel polish. It confuses people as to what needs a lamp and what doesn't. If you can see the color through the glass, it is regular polish. If the bottle is opaque and you can't see the color inside, you need a lamp. That is because the polish will react with daylight and harden in the bottle if it's clear. That's how you know it goes with a lamp to dry it. Plus it says on the packaging.
Disappointed 2
JazzyFizzle88 from Virginia
I used "pat on the black" exactly as directed to and the color turned out horrible. Took 3 coats to even get it dark enough to not show my natural nail through. A waste of $15.
DO NOT BUY 1
sky1233 from Laredo, Texas
This product sucked so MUCH. This was honestly a big waste of money. The quality of it is just so cheap you couldn't even see the color. Trust me save your money and your time do not buy this product!! It was a big disappointment
This product was really good! 4
Samantha987 from FL
I was a beginner and your kit was perfect! Instructions were fantastic, and I definitely need some more practice but all together my daughter and I's came out quite well! REALLY agree there should be more colors white and black for sure because I was so excited to do white tips.. but colors will do for now! Some colors were a-little thinker then others as well but just gotta work with it.
Awesome! 5
Kris from Geneva, IL
I am really impressed with this gel polish. I love having my nails done, but don't want to pay to go to the salon. This polish is easy to go on and easy to take off and looks great in between! You do have to know how to work with it though- there are tons of you tube videos to show you. You have to rough up your natural nail, prep with alcohol (Sally Hansen sells alcohol pads as well) and do one hand at a time. To remove, you need to file the shine off, and keep acetone soaked cotton balls on them for five minutes or so and it will come right off with a wooden orange stick. I am thrilled to have salon looking nails done at home!
Should add more nail polish color selections 4
Michelles0523 from Norwalk CT
great but my only complaint is that is not as shiny at the end. and color selection is very limited. no white, black, etc.
