SALLY HANSEN MIRACLE GEL 'DELICATE DECADENCE' COLLECTION - SWATCHES & REVIEW

Give your nails the royal treatment!

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel will keep your manicure looking majestic with the lasting results of a gel manicure without the hassle and expense.

Miracle Gel is a revolution in gel technology, with its part-lacquer-part-gel formula, promising up to 14 days of Colour and Shine - delivering a high shine, glossy salon quality manicure.

Get salon quality nails in two easy steps with Sally Hansen's Miracle Gel nail polish. 
Here's how it works - 

STEP 1: 
Apply two coats of the Miracle Gel nail colour of your choice. 
- Apply just like regular nail polish. 

STEP 2:
Activate the curing process with one coat of the special Miracle Gel 2X Volume Top Coat - it does not need to be cured by UV / LED light; so it's less damaging to the nail. 


Sally Hansen newly introduced six monarch-magnificent shades to the Miracle Gel range. 
I have three polishes from the Delicate Decadence collection to review for you today :)



WINE STOCK
Wine Stock is a rich red wine / maroon nail shade. 
It's so vampy - I love it!

The formula is lovely. The polish is so easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. It can look a little patchy on some nails but the patches eventually self-level.

It builds up to full opacity in one - two easy coats.
*I found that the more coats of polish you apply, the deeper and more intense the colour gets - I personally think it looks best with two - three coats. 



PINK UP
Pink Up is a bright hot pink nail shade with an amazing flash of blue-purple iridescent shimmer throughout it. The shimmer translates beautifully to the nail. I'm obsessed!

The formula is perfect. The polish is so easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well. 

It builds up to full opacity in one - two easy coats. 



PLUSH BLUSH
Plush Blush is a powder pink / light lilac nail shade with a lovely silver shimmer throughout it. It comes across as a little frosty on the nail but it's still very pretty.  

The formula is perfect. The polish is so easy to apply and effortlessly glides onto the nail. It isn't streaky or patchy and self-levels well.

It builds up to full opacity in two thin and easy coats.

I really like these polishes - they're so beautiful and all have fantastic formulas that apply effortlessly onto the nail, are easily opaque, and dry super quickly.

I found that the Miracle Gel polishes are quite glossy and gel-like on there own, so you could probably get away with not using the Miracle Gel Top Coat. If you want to ensure the longevity and durability of your manicure you will definitely need a coat top coat, but I don't think you necessarily need the specific Miracle Gel Top Coat. You could really use any top coat over these polishes; it just won't give your nails a 'gel'-like look. I personally prefer wearing them in conjunction with the Sally Hansen BIG Kwik Dry Top Coat instead. 

Sally Hansen claim the Miracle Gel polish system should last for up to 14 days on the nail. I did not wear these polishes for the full 14 days to test the claim, but I did have a few of them on for a full week. The polish wears pretty well. The polish only suffered some tip wear (which is to be expected). Other then that, I had no major chips and the glossiness of the polish did not dull at all. Really impressive.

I love that the Miracle Gel polishes have the same amazing signature wide brush Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure range have; making the polish so easy to work with and application using the three-stroke method a breeze.

I am also really amazed with how easy the polish was to remove with nail polish remover - whether it be acetone or non-acetone remover. It removes just like regular nail polish, no soaking, wrapping or scrapping required. 

Definitely recommend trying out the system.
