Review: Sally Hansen Gel Manicure Polish

Hey Loves! I have been kind of neglecting my blog lately which is totally sad! I have been posting like two videos a week on my YouTube Channel (wiscobeauty8913). If you saw my recent drugstore haul then you saw I picked up the Sally Hansen Gel Manicure Polish in Wine Stock and the clear top coat that goes with.

This nail polish claims to be just as good as a gel manicure you get at the salon with tons of shine and last up to 14 days without chipping. Lets be honest no chipping for 14 days that is just crazy. If you have never had a gel manicure at the salon the polish does usually last 14 days, has amazing shine but is horrible to take off. I usually end up peeling off layers of my nails which is a shame because the gel makes my nails so hard after 2 weeks.

I had been hearing a lot of good things about this polish from Judy from itsjudytime on YouTube. She is totally obsessed with these polishes and probably owns almost every color they have. She is a super Momma and her nails always look fabulous. So I broke down and picked these up from Target. The polishes are a little more expensive around -$7.99 a piece. You need to pick up the top coat as well to keep the polish looking flawless for days If you get a gel manicure at the salon it usually costs around $25-$30 so getting these polishes is easily half the price and obviously you can use for more than one at home manicure.  What is super amazing about these polishes is that you do not need to use a light to set the polish. I applied three coats of polish and a thick coat of the clear coat.

I was originally going to wear this polish for the full 14 days but I ended up taking the polish off on day 12 not because it looked horrible but I just wanted to re paint them when I had time too. Check out the pictures for how the polish wore for 12 days. 

Day 1
Day 3
Day 5
Day 9
Day 12
As you can see the majority of the polish stayed on throughout the 12 days. I did have a little wax spill when I was trying to wax on legs and ended up getting wax near my cuticles and picked off some of the polish on accident. So the majority of the wear on my pointer finger and middle finger were from the wax mishap. Otherwise I was really surprised that the polish stayed on for 12 days without any major chipping. I did make sure that I coated the tips of my nails with the top coat to see if it would help keep the polish on longer near the tip and it totally did.
I am totally excited to find some other colors for summer! This color Wine Stock is totally perfect for fall and winter! I would probably still rock this color on my toes in the summer too because I just love reddish colors on my toes the best. Let me know what your favorite polishes are and if you have tried these polishes out before?
