How to do your own gel manicure
The product: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel
What it is: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel is the first part-lacquer, part-gel manicure system that delivers up to 14 days of lasting color and shine in just two easy steps. Simply apply two coats of the Miracle Gel Color Coat, followed by the Miracle Gel Top Coat, to achieve the most convenient manicure, ever. As the manicure cures over time, it becomes more durable due to the increased hardness of the film. So LED/UV lamp curing is not necessary, only natural light. Miracle Gel comes off easily with both acetone-based and acetone-free nail polish remover — no soaking, wrapping, scraping, or filing necessary.
Where to get it: Sally Hansen is available in department stores.
