10 Best Nail Polishes

My new favorite!!!
I cannot rave about this enough. This is the longest lasting nail polish I have ever used and I didn't think anything would beat the lasting power of my beloved OPI polishes. I was wrong. Plus, this is about $3 less than OPI fyi. Every time I recommend this to someone, they absolutely love it. It is super opaque on the first coat and dries super fast. The brush on this is wide so you can go over y...read moreour nail faster than a skinny brush. This lasted a week before it finally chipped! Truly amazed by this nail polish. The only complaint I have is that I wish they had more unique colors because a lot of the colors I already own from other brands and I would love to try more colors from this line but I don't want to have to end up getting two of the same or similar colors I already have. The finishes on these are similar to a gel effect although I still rate the Revlon Gel Envy to have more of the gel finish than this but overall, I still love this for the lasting power and opacity on the first coat.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 4 people said helpful

Finally I can have painted finger nails!!!
The biggest step I have found to the success of this nail polish is to be sure to wipe my nails with rubbing alcohol before applying - makes an enormous amount of difference in how long it lasts. Also, allowing two to three minutes between coats helps lengthen the wear time as well. Street Flair is the fourth bottle of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polish I've purchased. The color is a deep, soft l...read moreavender that is so much prettier on the nail than I had even hoped by the look in the bottle - not nearly as as loud and bright as I thought it might be. I stopped bothering with nail polish on my nails long ago because it chipped and looked a mess by day TWO! Strangely though, polish will stay on my toes without chipping, literally until it grows off! I actually did an experiment one time (in the winter so no one could see my nasty polish). I would spend all this time preparing my nails, applying base coats, polish, top coats, etc but nothing kept my nails looking decent. But with this Sally Miracle Gel I get six, seven, sometimes even eight days of wear out of this polish! I finally get to have pretty nails without the time, expense and concerns of gel nail polish that needs a UV light. Miracle Gel is a little more expensive than some traditional nail polishes, but close in price to more expensive brands of non gel polishes that don't last as long. For me, it's well worth the price and even better when I find it on sale at some of the drug stores.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 6 people said helpful

It's ok
Granted I am a bit more rough on my hands that probably most women. My manicures will chip the same day. I polished my nails on Sunday and by Monday afternoon I saw signs of chipped polish. I didn't do much from the time I painted until the time it chipped other than typing on a computer. I don't think it lives up to the 14 day promise at all. I guess for an average wearer it would last 5 days at ...read moremost. I gave it a higher score only because the manicure still looks fairly intact even with the minor chipping. I think for me this is a 3 day polish.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 7 people said helpful
