Excessive drying time
I like sally Hansen. However, they take forever to dry it’s almost as if they don’t even dry at all and end up with fingerprints in them. Application is also annoying because the polish it very thick and goopy making it hard to apply it’s overall just annoying to work with. The color polish on the other hand is perfect and I continue to purchase those.

Hi there! We appreciate you taking the time to try out our Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Special Effects Top Coat. We are sorry to hear this product did not perform as expected. This is not the experience we hope for you to have. We value your feedback and will share it with our team. To help with drying, apply 2 thin coats of Miracle Gel Color (Step 1), letting each coat dry completely before applying the next. Then, activate the curing process with 1 coat of Miracle Gel Top Coat (Step 2) and let your nails dry in natural light. Together, this dynamic duo delivers up to 8 days of vibrant color and shine when used as part of the complete Miracle Gel system. We hope this helps! If this is still not working as expected, or if you have any additional questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d also be happy to learn more about the consistency of your polish and help replace it for you. You can call us at 1-800-953-5080 or send an email through the Contact Us page on our website.

Great top coat, make it look like gel
I really like using this over regular nail polish. It keeps on my nail polish for a lot longer, and it makes the top coat look thicker, almost like I got gel on. The dry time is ok, but doesn’t take toooo long

Easy Application.
Sally Hansen Miracle Gel was a great find for me. It combines quality with experience and that makes beautiful nails. This one shines in the light like crystals on your nails. Sometimes I wear it by itself even though it says it’s a topcoat. It dries quickly so you’re not kept from doing things you need to. It’s a good size bottle at a good size price. The application brush is suitable for small hands and big hands. I love that when you tilt your hand, a certain way you see it glimmer. This is wearable for a couple of days without chipping. It’s a keeper.

Absolutely stunning!
New favourite nail Polish! Brush is perfect. Goes on cleanly and smoothly with just one coat (i like to do 2 though haha!). Drys quickly and looks even more beautiful with a top coat. The colour is rich and absolutely gorgeous. In love! 🥰

Best top coat ever
This is my go to top coat. I have several different types. The mate I use for solid color looks. The ultra shine I use for the glosse that lasts for days. I also have one that has glitter in it to use for fun designs. The dry time makes it so much easier to use. I have even used it on my daughter's nails to help her polish last for weeks.

This special effects top coat transforms your mani
💅✨ OMG, You Guys! You NEED This! Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Special Effects Top Coat Review! ✨💅 Hey, my fabulous followers! You know I'm all about that high-impact mani life, but sometimes you just want to take your favorite polish from "cute" to "OH. EM. GEE. What are you wearing?!" Enter the new Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Special Effects Top Coats! I got my hands on a few of these, and trust me, they are next level. The Hype: These are designed to be the ultimate game-changer for your at-home manicures. They promise that long-wear, chip-resistant Miracle Gel formula we already love, but with a super fun, color-shifting, or textured finish. Best of all? NO UV LAMP REQUIRED! 🤩 My Experience & Swatches: I tried the Unicorn Top Coat and the Crystal Top Coat, and here's the tea: * Unicorn Top Coat: This one is my favorite for a dreamy, ethereal vibe. Over a dark polish (I used a black Miracle Gel shade), it transforms into a gorgeous, iridescent micro-shimmer that shifts from a soft green to a golden-pink. It looks like a pearl finish on your nails—so chic! Over a lighter color, it gives that coveted pearlescent gleam. It's smooth, it's glossy, and it’s magical. ✨ * Crystal Top Coat: Hello, fall vibes! This one has larger iridescent flakies that flash shades of red, orange, and gold. It looks incredible over deep reds or even a bright magenta, giving a fiery, multi-dimensional look that catches the light from every angle. It's a true topper, adding distinct glittery sparkle without being chunky. 💖 The Wear Test: As with the standard Miracle Gel top coat, you apply it over your two coats of Miracle Gel color (though honestly, I've used it over other polishes too—shhh! 😉). It dries pretty fast, and the shine is insane. I noticed very little to no chipping for about 5-7 days, which is a win in my book, especially since I'm constantly typing/doing dishes/etc. Remember to "cap" your tips, ladies, for maximum protection! Final Verdict: 💯/10 - RUN, DON'T WALK! If you have a collection of basic cream polishes that need a glow-up, or if you just want to experiment without buying a whole new shade, these top coats are a must-have. They genuinely transform any manicure into something special

Great shine
I tried the Sally Hansen Special Effects Top Coat and really like how it makes my nails pop. It goes on smoothly, dries pretty fast, and adds a pretty sparkle that makes even a plain color look fun. It lasts a few days before chipping, which is great for the price. The only downside is that the glitter takes a little extra effort to remove, but it’s worth it for the shine

Defective!
My nails looked great before I put this top coat on them! There are tiny little chunks in the polish and it makes your nails look rough and splotchy, not shiny! I think it's probably defective, maybe old. Fortunately my polish is black so it hides a lot of the damage. I'll be testing a replacement in the store before purchasing it! The only redeeming quality is that it dries fast!

Holds up well, cures easily
Dries very hard, and is fantastic for a pedicure! I use this to cure nail art on top of gel strips, and the cure is perfect hardness to hold up against 20000 steps a day at Disney!

Gives nails a shiny, salon-quality finish and help
I have been using the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Special Effects Top Coat and I am really happy with the results. It adds a beautiful shine and makes my nail color look much more vibrant.

The removal process is simple and does not damage my nails. For the price, it feels like a salon-quality product at home. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves shiny, long-lasting nails.

My favorite gel top coat to use at home or the nai
I’ve been using the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel line for years now, and I can honestly say it’s one of my holy-grail nail products. The color range is always gorgeous, the formula goes on super smooth, and the finish looks like a salon-quality gel manicure—without the UV lamp. What keeps me coming back is how long-lasting it is. Regular polishes usually chip on me within a few days, but Miracle Gel holds up beautifully for over a week (sometimes longer!). The shine stays put, and even when it finally starts to wear, it still looks neat and natural. I also love how easy it is to remove compared to traditional gel polish—no soaking, no harsh scrubbing. Just regular nail polish remover, and you’re ready for a fresh coat. If you want a durable, glossy manicure at home without the commitment of salon gels, Sally Hansen Miracle Gel is the way to go. Truly a staple in my nail routine! 💖

Brush disintegrated
The Game of Chromes color is very nice but the activating clear topcoat brush bristles all fell off the applicator! I ended up using a gel brush to apply the top coat with an okay result. Very disappointing. Otherwise I am pleased with the wear.
