Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat: Get high shine and chip free nails in a jiffy

Wouldn’t it be great to enjoy the gel nail experience right at home without making a trip to the nail salon? You now can with the award-winning Sally Hansen Miracle Gel collection. The brand has had a success run with the launch of the first Miracle Gel and now it will be adding a new & improved volumizing Miracle Gel Top Coat to its range.

The Miracle Gel Top Coat works  to give your nails ultimate shine and protection up to 2X. We find that it is really easy to use. Start off by applying two thin coats of Miracle Gel colour to clean nails. The Miracle Gel colour products are highly pigmented but do not make your nails feel suffocated. Finish off by applying one coat of the Miracle Gel Top Coat and you’ll be able to enjoy a manicure resembling a salon gel manicure. The only difference, you would have achieved similar effects without using UV or LED lights. These lights are often used in nail salons and can be damaging to your nails. To remove your gel manicure, simply use regular nail polish remover. No soak off needed.

If you are doing any sort of  a manicure be it at home or at a nail salon, here are 3 tips to follow so as to ensure your nails remain healthy.

HYDRATE YOUR NAILS

Exposing your nail beds to UV or LED light can be very damaging as it not only ages the skin around your fingers but also weakens your nails over time by drying them out. If you are someone who uses gel polish regularly, it is important to moisturize your nails and the area around them. Use your favorite cuticle oil or cream to hydrate and strengthen the skin around your nails. Rest assured, running the product over your polish will not affect its longevity.

DO NOT PICK AT YOUR GEL NAILS

We understand that it can get annoying when the edges of your gel manicure that you’ve been enjoying for weeks starts to lift. Instead of picking at the gel and risking the change of pulling off your nail, simply grab a nail file and gently smooth it down.

TAKE A NAIL POLISH HOLIDAY

In between your manicures, it is important to take a polish holiday. While we all love having colour 24/7, it is as crucial to let your nails heal and repair themselves. This way, your nails do not turn yellow and brittle. Instead of rocking a colour during your polish holiday, try buffing your nails to let it shine naturally.

The Miracle Gel Top Coat will be sold at selected Watsons, Guardian, BHG and John Little.
