Sally HansenMiracle Gel™, Travel Seekers First Glass, Long Lasting, Gel-Like Formula, No UV Lamp Needed, Pink Nail Polish

I love this nail polish. I have ridged nails and this polish camouflages the ridges. I do two coats of the first glass and two coats of topcoat and it stays on for at least a week. I reinforce the corners of my thumbs with an extra coat of top coat because I type all day. I also like that if it chips I can't see it.

This polish stayed on my nails a long time!!! Love!!❤️ 😍

Natural looking manicures

To be fair I have always had thin soft flexible nails. A 1/4” free edge is a big deal for me if I can grow all 10, or at least most of them. I used this polish several years ago not long after it came on the market, loved it and had luck in protecting my nails then, enough to get them up to nearly 1/2” free edge. Loved the pluses of protection from this product so I could have some nice nails for awhile.Put it away, got busy with gardening & other types of things really tough on nails. Then in mid 2022 I decided to use it again finding my original bottles pretty gummed up so I ordered new polish. Began using again & loved it all over again. My nails grew, looked great -what was not to love?I think I changed the polish 3 times after that first application. This was over about 6 weeks time. My nails began literally falling apart at that point right after I did a 4th application. Breaking down into the quick, separating into big peeling layers that peeled half way down the nail bed (another issue that I’d always tended towards with little perky splits on the free edge but nothing like this).In a week’s time my nails were so gone there were bands of naked tender flesh at the end of my fingers. Some bled a little, had to bandage them & it was extremely difficult doing anything because any time I used my hands I was in pain if any fingertip was touched.Really loved the good points to this polish but sadly and obviously it’s not for me & likely not for anyone with soft, thin or splitting nails.To try to heal, I began hydrating 3-5 times daily with olive oil, jojoba, rose hip oil & vit E&D (I’d been doing it 1-2x/day before this happened). But it took me 5 months to get back to my normal short nails. Gratefully the painful raw open ends of the nail beds toughened up after about a month so it was not horrible the entire 5 months.This problem may well have happened due to the way you have to use polish remover for so much longer than on older traditional polish formulas. Holding a soaked cotton for minutes to soften this thicker polish up likely had a role in this. But apparently that’s the price for the longer lasting polish & the thicker protective coats. It’s a price I can’t pay now that I know how high a price. NEVER imagined I’d have wrecked nails as I never saw a difference from using polish or not using it back in the day.Just think carefully before using this especially if you want to stay polished for more than a week or so.

I wanted a pretty pink but this color is completely clear.

Pretty as a top coat but takes at least three coats to provide decent coverage.

This polish is so opaque that it is non-existent. I put 2 coats on one hand and couldn't see any difference on the other hand. I wanted a light pink and this is not it! Really disappointed and of course, it's not returnable.

Was hoping for the color shown in bottle but this is VERY sheer. Didn't need another sheer one so took a chance on this and while it seemed like you could return it THERE IS NO RETURN ON THIS so make sure you want a clear polish.

I’m not liking this product very much as it doesn’t stand up like I was expecting. I have to take it off in about 4 - 5 days it’s not lasting up to about 10 days.
