Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nail Polish, 533 Brewberry, 0.5 fl oz, No UV Lamp Needed

This is a very pretty Candy-Apple red. In some lights it almost looks orange but it's definitely bright red. I have just discovered Sally Hansen Miracle gel and I love it. I never do well with two thin coats so I use one thick coat with this. It is already a thick formula and it sort of self levels so you can use the brush to guide it a little bit. The pictures are 4 days after my manicure. It stays on better than most I've tried. I also use a base coat ( ORLY ) and a top coat ( Seche Vite ). I have found those two things make a big difference in how long your mani lasts. I have my hands in and out of water all day and while I try to wear gloves, I can't always do that. I'm also active and a bit clumsy so I bump my fingers into things all the time. I am very impressed with this nail polish lasting as long as it does and not being a light cured gel. It dries to the touch in about 5 minutes and the Seche Vite only takes 2 minutes so that after about 6-10 minutes I can do whatever I want. You just have to be careful of denting for the next several hours but showering, washing hands etc is no problem. I also love the application brush. The wand is flat toward the brush making the brush flat and it is also slightly angled on either side and those 2 things together make it easier for me to get the right amount of polish on my nails without too much outside the lines. I definitely recommend it.
