Manicure Monday - Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Spice Age

Today's post is a Manicure Monday featuring Sally Hansen Miracle Gel nail polish in Spice Age.

Spice Age is a beautiful rich chocolate brown colour with gold shimmer. The shimmer is not as obvious on the nails as in the tube. The colour shows opaque in two coats.   

I am usually not inclined towards brown colors but I surprisingly like this color on my nails and is perfect for the colder months.


Most companies have launched their gel polishes which are long lasting and do not require a UV/LED light to cure the polish and can be removed like a regular polish . 
 
Sally Hansen Miracle gel* is based on the same lines and is a 2 step system, apply the base coat and top it with the top coat. These polishes are supposed to give a wear time up to 14 days.

I have tried the gel formula previously from the Revlon range but did not have their top coat so could not test it for longevity properly.





7th Day - Just some tip wear, no major chipping

These polishes have a big fat brush, which I absolutely love as it is easy and fast to apply. 

 In terms of longevity, the polish stayed in a pretty good wearable condition up to 7-8 days (as in the pic above). Towards the ninth day, the polish started chipping off and I removed it. I was easily able to remove the nail polish with a regular polish remover.  Overall, I am pretty happy with the formula and the staying power of these polishes. If you don't like changing your polish frequently, then I would definitely recommend giving these a go !

    1. The gel nail polishes are especially great with the formula and wear time, good for those of us who like to keep their nail polish on for a longer time :)
