Miracle Gel is a revolution in gel technology, with it's part-lacquer, part-gel formula.
Get the lasting results of a gel manicure without the hassle. Miracle Gel polish promises up to 14 days of Colour and Shine - delivering a high shine, glossy look just like a salon quality manicure.
Miracle Gel is a two-step gel manicure that does not need to be cured by UV / LED light - so its less damaging to the nail. It applies just like regular nail polish.
How to use ~
STEP 1: Apply two coats of the Miracle Gel nail colour of your choice. No basecoat needed.
STEP 2: Activate curing of the polish with one coat of the Miracle Gel Topcoat.
Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polishes have the same amazing wide brush just like Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure range; making application of the three-stroke method a breeze.
Sally Hansen Australia have just released five new shades including US best sellers.
Today i have a review on US best seller 'Game of Chromes' to share with you.
GAME OF CHROMES
This polish appears to be made up of gold and silver shimmers -
to me indoors, the polish looks like a definite gold colour, but in direct sunlight, you can kind of see a shimmery duo-chrome look to it, with a gold to silver kind of shift.

I've only had this polish for a couple of weeks and I've already worn it three times! That's a record for me.
I am seriously OBSESSED with this shade!
I am drawn to anything shiny and metallic, so i knew this would be a polish i'd love!

The formula of this polish is perfect! It is slightly thicker then normal polish but it's still a dream to work with. It's nice and smooth and easy to work with - it effortlessly glides onto the nail. It's also not streaky, unlike other metallic polishes.
It needs two coats of polish to look fully opaque. There's nice and even coverage with each coat and it self-levels really well with each coat of polish.
The polish wears pretty well. I didn't wear the polish for 14 days to test Sally Hansen's claim but i did have it on for a full week. The polish only suffered some tip wear (which is to be expected). Other then that i had no major chips and the polish shine didn't turn dull. Really impressive. I couldn't stop looking at my nails the whole week.
You don't need to wear a base coat before applying the polish, but i wore a coat of ridge filler just to make my ridges and imperfections not look as prominent - as metallic polishes tend to overexpose imperfections.
To get the "Gel" look, pair the polish with the Miracle Gel Topcoat. Apply a coat of the topcoat and let natural light do the rest.
The topcoat is nice and smooth and glides right on the nail. It also doesn't smudge!
Apparently the gel topcoat cures and hardens using natural light, hence the more sunlight there is, the quicker your nails will dry. That's not to say it won't dry when its dark, it will just take a little longer. - dry time varies. I tend to paint my nails at night before bed, when there is no sunlight, and i found the polish takes the same amount of time as a standard polish to dry.
Game of Chromes alone is shiny and sparkly enough so you could probably get away without using the topcoat. But if you want to ensure long wear time you definitely need a coat of topcoat.
I personally don't think you even need this specific topcoat though. You could really use any topcoat over the polish - it just won't give your nails a "gel" look.

I was surprised with how easy it was to remove with nail polish remover, whether it be acetone or non-acetone remover. It removes just like regular nail polish, so no soaking, wrapping or scraping is required.
I did notice however that some silver shimmer residue remains on the nail, but it wasn't too hard to remove while washing hands.
Game of Chromes is a versatile shade great to wear all year round no matter the season and is sure to compliment any skin tone.
I am actually so impressed with Game of Chromes and cannot wait to try out some other polishes from the Miracle Gel range.
Definitely recommend getting your hands on this polish - it's to die for!
