3 PRODUCTS I DIDNT FINISH AND WHY {2}

This is only my 2nd post that I have written titled 

"3 Products I Didn't Finish & Why"

and all 3 of these products have only been purchased this year, but I have already put 2 of them to one side ready to give away and the other one has been disposed of.

It's not very often that I don't finish a product, even the ones that aren't that great, as I normally find some positives and benefits to make it worthwhile finishing and to be honest I hate wasting my money.

I have included the Pink Links below so you can catch up with my original review and find out in more detail what I personally didn't like about these items and the link to my first blog post about previous 

3 Products I didn't Finish and Why {1}

1.

The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow-Revealing Liquid Peel was rather disappointing and to be honest it's messy to use and I didn't see any results, so therefore I really didn't see any point in carrying on using it, when I have other great exfoliating and brightening products to use.

The Sally Hansen Miracle Gel nail polish was another huge disappointment as I loved the colour, but it was just not viable, time wise, to be re painting my nails every 2-3 days due to the mad "crazing" that appears on the polish after a couple of days and just looks awful meaning that the polish has to be removed. Not great considering that Sally Hansen claim it lasts for  up to 14 days.I did persevere for some time before finally tossing this duo into the bin.

Another product I wasted my money on was this L'Oreal AGE PERFECT Cleanser that I very recently tried and have already put it to one side.

As a cleanser it performed poorly and felt very greasy on the skin and just didn't dissolve or remove my make-up very efficiently at all.

Please let me know if you have enjoyed any of the above products, as after all it's a matter of personal preference ...

SALLY HANSEN MIRACLE GEL {REVIEW}

Sally Hansen is "THE" American nail care brand that seems to have been around forever, but it was in 1957, 50 years ago when Sally Hansen, together with her chemist husband, pioneered a nail protection formula called Hard As Nails. 
I have to admit that I remember this product well, as it was touted as
 “the nail clinic in a bottle", 
and still forms part of their nail collection today.

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel

After reading several reviews about their Miracle Gel I thought I would give it a try, as my nails are never left bare and I rarely post reviews on nail polishes, to be honest there isn't all that much to say about them. However this Sally Hansen Miracle Gel is the exception to my general rule.

Seen as a breakthrough in gel nail polish,I was quite excited to get that "salon look" at home by applying the Miracle Gel Nail Polish by Sally Hansen. The 2-step gel manicure needs no light due to its natural-light-curing technology.
It sounded so easy, as no base coat is needed and just apply 2/3 coats of the colour 
(I chose the shade Birthday suit, but there is a wide selection of shades) and then one coat of the top coat.

The brush was a pleasure to use and the polish glided onto the nails, yet it was easily removed with a normal nail varnish remover, making the whole process extremely easy.
The final result was excellent and it did look like I had been to a salon for a gel mani and I was initially super impressed...

However on the third day I began to notice slight crazing, but there were no chips and overall the mani still looked good.
The problem really began on the fourth day as the crazing became very noticeable and I had to remove the polish, which I found alarming, as Sally Hansen claim that there is
 "up to 14 days of colour and shine".

I don't personally see the point in this claim if the nails soon reveal the cracks and crazing on the top coat and here I'm assuming it's the top coat and not on the base colour.

I will be trying the colour on its own without the top coat just to see what happens, but this is sold as a two part process.

Overall 
I absolutely loved everything about the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel with the exception of the crazing and for any future use,

I would need to remove and re-apply every two days to get that "just salon manicured look", which is totally impractical for Moi...
