Sally Hansen® Miracle Gel™ Review

I recently received my first VoxBox containing the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel manicure. You may be asking what a VoxBox is? All it is is a box of free products sent to me from an online organization called Influenster. They send it to me based on my likes and social media presence and I review the products and tell all my friends what I like and dislike about the products. A pretty great deal if you ask me! So anyway, I received this "miracle mani" kit or so it is called. Prior to this experience, I've used gel polish twice before, both using at home kits with UV lights included. So the catch on this product is that there is no light! Needless to say I was a little skeptical how this gel polish could last like the others without the use of the UV light. Not only that, but I am terrible at keeping nail polish unchipped for more than, say, 3 hours. Well it's been about 5 days since I applied my manicure and I am convinced that this is the easiest manicure that actually lasts without chipping! I even put it through the rigor by playing on the playground with my niece, hauling wood with my dad, and just not being careful in general like usual. There is honestly not a single chip in my polish. Another positive of this manicure is that it has some of the best color coverage that I've experienced ever. I don't buy very high end nail polish but when compared to other Sally Hansen varieties, it far outweighed them in the coverage, with just one coat being sufficient to fully cover and give good color. I highly recommend this product although I do not know how much the different colors cost in stores, but I will surely be looking for them! :)
