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.

Manicure Monday - Revlon Color Stay Gel Envy Wild Card (440)

This Manicure Monday features Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy in 'Wild  Card'. Its a beautiful bright blue color. I have been wanting to try a gel nail polish from the drugstore and I bought this one from Revlon in the Priceline 40% off sale. 

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how absolutely stunning this color is. Apart from the pinks and the reds, I am really drawn towards blues and purples and well thats how I landed with this color. 


This goes on opaque in two coats. I am wearing a normal top coat with this. Just a background story - I asked the Priceline SA if I could use a normal top coat and if the Revlon gel top coat was anything special in terms of longevity and she suggested a normal top coat would work just as fine. So, I decided no to spend my money on the top coat. 



This polish lasted on me chip free for 4 days. I had to change my nail polish after that so I don't know the exact longevity of these. 

Overall I was really happy with the formula and would suggest trying these. But pick this up in sale as polishes are so incredibly expensive in Australia.

Which is your favorite blue nail polish ?
