On Friday's post, I showed you a few beauty bits that I purchased recently. One of them being Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polish in Pretty Piggy. I've tried another shade of the Miracle Gel this winter, Birthday Suit and was not impressed by it one bit.

So many people raved about the Sally Hansen Miracle Gels that I thought maybe I had a faffed bottle. So I decided to give it another go with a different shade.

This morning I proceeded to paint my nails and do nothing for the next 2 hours. To be honest the polish applied well this time, no streaky mess, but took so long to dry, again. But I was pleased and thought maybe this was it.

Then I showered. And that's when it went downhill. After only showering, the polish was all stripped. Granted, I didn't use the Miracle Gel topcoat, as I couldn't find it, for the life of me. But surely the polish should last longer than 2 hours on its own without chipping, like other brands do? This is far from the 14 days they promise.

Got this problem again with another Sally Hansen polish two years ago, the Mint Sorbet one.

Sally Hansen used to be one of my favourite brands, but it seems to be so hit and miss at the moment. Does anyone else have this problem?

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polish, around $12.
