I’m extremely happy with this purchase! The Sally Hansen gel polish color I am wearing is Rosey Riviter with the gel top coat. After a week the polish is finally starting to chip. Not bad for the price!!To get the polish to last I used 2 thin coats of the regular polish and gave it 5 minutes to dry in between coats. Then I applied the gel top coat on top. The gel polish would probably work with regular polish too... my accent nail has two coats of the Sally Hansen Rosey Riviter polish and then an Essie glitter polish on top. Read more

This is my new favorite top coat. I use it with any nail polish and with nail polish strips. It dries quickly, but once you're at about half of the bottle, it gets a bit thick and gooey, but its still usable. It dries quickly so I go over it a couple of times. But it does make my manicure last 7-10 days without chipping, and usually its one or two nails. I just touch them up. I am a fan of this. Read more

I love sally Hansen Miracle gel polish. Goes on nice and lasts about 1-2 weeks. However I purchased wild for violet and the color I received does not look like the picture online. Since it’s a flammable product you CANNOT return to amazon or get a refund. Just purchase your polish in store. Read more

I have been using this product for a couple of years now and I am a huge fan! Originally, I used this in conjunction with the matching SH gel base colors, but then I realized that I can use this as a top coat over any brand of color- even the cheaper stuff! It might not last quite as long, but I wanted more shade variety (I happen to like Sinful Colors). There are some important things that I have learned along the way, which previous reviews also touched upon:•Apply this topcoat AFTER your underlying nail color is completely DRY unless you want a tacky mess that takes hours to set, and has the potential to bubble up. I happen to do my manicures in two stages, just so that it sets really well. I don't do my entire manicure in one sitting. Instead, I apply my color and later on I come back and apply the top coat. I like to leave about an hour between coats of topcoat. More time, yes, but flawless results.•Leave extra time at the end for this stuff to dry. It is THICK, so it needs extra time to set and fully dry. Even if it is dry to the touch it has a tendency to stay tacky for quite a while. So just be patient. :)•It is harder to remove than regular nail polish. Look for pure acetone remover to speed up removal time.•Take a few extra moments to apply top coat under and on the tips of your nails, making sure to hit the very edges. This gives me an extra level of staying power.My manicures last about a week and I touch up just the tips in between, as they start to wear down. A single swipe of color and a coat of topcoat usually does the trick.Also, sometimes I apply a full coat of topcoat between manicures to refresh that "wet look" when I don't have time to do a complete manicure, (this can be achieved with a regular topcoat as well).Another tip: If your nails are weak, brittle, or tend to break, I recommend keeping them short. The more the nails bend and flex due to a longer length, the greater your chance of getting nicks and chips in your manicure. A slightly shorter nail just tends to hold a manicure longer, in my experience.Happy Polishing! 💅🏻 Read more

I do my nails ever weekend because I can't stand to see my nails chipped. This gel polish system is awesome. So many colors available, easy to use, AND...just found this out...a variety of top coat options. I have shiny and matte, but have ordered 2 other ones to try. I took stars off because the colors are WAY off. I have ordered several pinks based on the online picture, and when they arrived they all looked super similar! I have 7 bottles of pink polish that according to the pictures are very different, yet in person are nearly identical. I wanted to start switching out my polishes for this gel system, but I will have to do a color check in the stores before I buy online. Be careful, many sellers don't allow you to return because its a hazardous shipping item. I had one show up broken and they were able to replace it, but that's not the case for all sellers.

Update: I realize I got the topcoat 101 which is a different formula from the 100 listed on this page. That could explain why it hasn't worked out for me. Amazon agreed to send the top coat 100 and I will update my review accordingly once I receive the product--------------------------I was curious finding out how this topcoat would compare to the other SV topcoat I've been loving so I purchased it.The biggest problem I have is it seems to take a long time >30 min to cure. I usually apply a base coat and 2-3 coats of polish before I apply the top coat. In my case I put on this topcoat for 30 minutes before I went to take a shower and still get all nail ruined by the water. It could never been the case with SV instant gel effect topcoat.It does give a shine but not that bulky pumped gel effect as SV gel effect delivers with multiple layers. I couldn't apply more than 2 layers of this product because it will take forever to dry. Read more

This is the best fingernail polish I've ever used, it dries fast and it goes on like a gel coating, it lasts for weeks and does not peel up like normal fingernail polish and Glides on so smoothly. I wish I could own this and every color. This particular color that I purchased is exactly that, the color of a very dark wine more so on the end of brownish burgundy very deep and dark depending on how many layers of color you use. This polish usually only requires one layer but two will give it multiple dimensions and a little bit of extra strength Read more

I can't believe this but this nail varnish ACTUALLY LASTS. Only 2 tiny chips after a week of wear when used with the brand's top coat. The texture is a bit watery which was concerning first but when you apply two coats it will be fine. I'm definitely going to order other colours too. Read more

This is a lovely colour as it looks comes out like a teal blue...goes on well and not glupey as other reviews suggest . I was dissappointed my nails chipped within 3 days even using the suggested top coat...maybe washing our hands so much more and using ant bac stuff plays a part in this?! Read more

It arrived promptly in the post, I was looking forward to trying this as it claims to be longer lasting than other nail varnish. When worn with the miracle gel coloured nail polish underneath it lasted a bit longer than nail polish, but I wouldn't say it is outstanding. I get about 4 days out of it, not 2 weeks like it claims.

The pretty pink picture (with the colour number) does not correspond with the disgusting dusky pink varnish sent - in a little magenta pouch to presumably persuade me to keep this item. Have returned. Read more

Love these polishes. This is a great colour but not for any shrinking violets - it's very bold! Came well packaged and on time. Read more
