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. We’re always happy to assist you!

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!

Inferior Product
It’s ok, not salon quality. The shine dulls after a couple of days and the polish starts to chip under a week. Returning.

My fav
2-4 THIN layers of step 1. Dry fully (and I mean dry dry) in between each layer. Step 2 2-3 layers and done. It’s my favorite. I love using step 2 over top any nail polish, so if you don’t want to you don’t have to get step one

Not like it used to be.
Very disappointing with the color called Onyx and the sample picture is showing a nice dark black. It goes on transparent gray, even after multiple layers of it looking black and drying for a whole day I went to apply the topcoat from the same brand and it removed the nail polish and any skin the topcoat touches causes a burning sensation. I used to love Sally Hansen when I was younger the product is definitely not as quality as it used to be.

Not worth it
This stuff flakes and peels off in less than 24 hours. I'll stick with my SH diamonds nails.

No tacky layer.
This looks so sparkly on the shelf and appealing. The smell isn’t too strong like some other top coats and applies really nicely and doesn’t leave a tacky layer. Looks gorgeous on many colours.

DO NOT BUY UNLESS YOU LIKE MUSHY FINISH
It instantly turned the color polish beneath it textured like it was eating through the polish.

Cute finish to add sparkle
Cute top coat with glitter chunks that add an extra dimension to finished nail looks. I used this to top some of my Mooncat polishes and really like the way it dries quickly plus adds more sparkle. Picture is Venus Flytrap polish from Mooncat with Crystal top coat.

I have been getting my nails done at the salon for years. I always had fake nails. When Covid hit I had to take my fake nails off. After wearing them for a long time without taking them off. I had torn my nail bed and weak, wavy nails. I had to do something because I would never wear fake nails again. That's when I found Sally Hansen gel polish and top coat. And I am not good or experienced at buffing my own nails. But Sally made it easy for me! I am a happy Sally Hansen customer! Now my daughter and granddaughter are using this product too! no scent ..good quality and the price awesome..thank you sally hansen

good so far!
so I bought this cause it seemed cool, but I was a little nervous about trying it because of lots of bad reviews. But so far it's good! I put it on, and it didn't ruin my nails or anything, but didn't add anything special either. Only complaint is that it doesn't look very sugarcoated but I'll update after I'm finished with these nails!

Long lasting and durable
I used 1 layer of the Unicorn top coat 106 over 1 layer of Twinkles 785. It creates a a light pinky purple shine. Sometimes I’ll do 2 coats of the step 1. They’re easy to use, very quick drying and last me 10-12 days no problem, and this is day 9 in the pic. I work my hands hard with tools and I wash a lot too. They help protect my natural nails from breaking

Not as long lasting as hoped
I like the glitter and coloring a lot, but it peels pretty easily. My only "gel-like" comparison is the Essie long-wearing glossy top coat, but the Essie does last longer for me. It might be because that one doesn't have glitter, though.

Look carefully
It leaves a dull, rough finish on my nails. It almost looks like they are smudged. I bought it by accident, thought it was the smooth gel finish top coat.
