Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nail Color, Lemon Heaven, 0.5 Ounce

I like this color, I love the Miracle Gel polishes. Yes, it does take at least 3 coats unless you put a polish undercoat but for me the results are worth the time spent. I'll order this as long as it is available.

I love the color, but, I think this might be old because it is really thin compared to all of the other colors I have gotten. It took me 3 coats because it kept leaving very tin spots. I use this brand all of the time and this is the first time I have had this problem. Too much work to return or exchange it.

A beautiful pastel yellow. As you should, 2 coats are needed. Color lasted 10 days before I started chipping. I purchase this color because it is very close to the yellow ribbon color for endometriosis awareness.

Love the color. Need 3 coats for an even appearance, too transparent

Was a dull yellow

The color is very sheer at first and it just doesnt dry properly if you dont use the miracle top coat step 2. Use the top coat first then 2 coats color and top coat on top. Super adorable.

This is one of the first colors of the miracle gel line that I felt was very transparent and needed 3-4 coats to get it pigmented enough.

The color is so pale that two coats aren’t enough! Also it doesn’t stay on longer than a couple of days. Disappointed!!!

Be prepared to buff your nails if you have even the slightest ridges as Lemon Heaven is a very unforgiving polish I love the colour but it's such a big let down amongst other brilliant shades in the range I would not repurchase. Apologies for the bad cuticle smear in the pic, I'd lost the will to live by the time I'd got to this opacity and just took the picture!The formula for me is a big miss of the range of which some are perfect (hello Sugar Fix) and others are awful, the miracle gels particularly seem to struggle with the lighter pastel creams such as this and Pinky PromiseThe polish is very very thin and very streaky on application, there seems to be very little self levelling agent in the mix meaning brush strokes do not settle well on top of another coat and 'tidying up' is very tricky if your application is uneven which with this formulation is easy to do. I would say that you would need at least four coats to get even near opacity and this colour not worth it unless it is opaque- otherwise it looks like you've got streaks and smears all over your nails- not a good look. Achieving opacity is difficult with the visible brush strokes and adding to the drying time.The colour is a touch more buttery in real life than it's in the picture, no matter what light I tried the real life warmth just wouldn't be captured. It really is pretty but whether it's worth the effort trying to get a perfect finish I don't know, I love it now it's on, but whether I could be bothered to go through this again to achieve the same effect is questionable.this is not one that I would repurchase.

....varnish, so why the 'without the use of the lamp and the base coat'?I'm not a girly girl and only use nail varnish on my toes in summer, as they're exposed. To me, this is a nail varnish and I wouldn't normally do anything other than a light pedicure before applying, so this is what I did. The varnish went on easily, but it's so liquid that a lot dripped onto my nails during application, despite copious wiping of the excess. It dried very quickly, which is in part possibly due to the heat, and when I tried to smooth it out to even it, it then went patchy and tacky, so I had to remove and reapply.Unfortunately, despite enough varnish on the brush to avoid me having to reapply, this went patchy again and started drying in seconds, with visible brush marks. Five minutes later it was dry and felt pretty hard, and ready for a second coat, but again, it ended up patchy. Because it's on my toes which I won't be constantly staring at, I'll leave it and see how it fares - I'm supposed to get up to 10 days' of use from this.To be updated, but on first glance, not impressed with application or with the colour, which is rather insipid - it looks like a diet margarine, not a lemon mousse.

The Sally Hanses Miracle Nail Polish is a tough enduring nail polish,ideally a 2nd application is required to avoid streaks.It is use to remove and is a very distinctive colour,seems a bit pricey for nail polish but I suppose if its a colour style,you really like you won't mind.I found the bottle and box it arrived in very attractive.
