I find this nail polish to be very poor in quality. The brush is too hard and thin, the colour is uneven going on ( probably mostly due to the poor brush), and the product chips more than the other brands I get. I do not recommend this Sally Hanson product.

I was lucky enough to win and receive the Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle Color nail polish from Chickadvisor. They sent me the shade Perfect Plum (#350) which is a lovely dark burgandy/plum color, great for the autumn and winter months. In terms of color, I think this particular shade is very versatile and can go with many outfits, therefore making it a great staple in anyone's collection. I can't say enough good things about the color!

It comes with 0.45 fl oz of product, and the bottle looks very sleek with its silver brush cap/handle. Although it looks nice, I did find it difficult to hold onto since it tends to be slippery when holding it. It was as though I couldn't get a proper grasp of it. This sometimes made it difficult to have a steady hand when painting my nails. Another thing I didn't like is the size of the brush. More and more nail polish companies have been developing larger brushes in order to cover most of the nail bed in one or two swipes. This one in particular is just too large for my liking (however, for those people who have a larger nail bed, it just might work in your favor). I ended up getting nail polish on the skin around my nails even though I was extra careful. I was able to remove it with a cotton swab, so it's not the end of the world, just a small annoyance, I guess.

As for application, it did take 3 coats for it to look opaque enough. The first coat goes on a little sheer and streaky, but as you build it up you get great coverage. Another issue also came up, which was that the nail polish began to form bubbles once it dried. I did take my time and applied it slowly, so it shouldn't have been a problem, but it did in fact happen.

Now, on to the good part. The negative points I mentioned are all soon forgotten when you consider how long lasting this nail polish is. I wore it for practically 8-9 days and there was no chipping whatsoever! It did start to wear off a little at the very tip of the nail, but no biggie since you can easily go back and cover it up. If you're the type that doesn't have the time to change up their nail polish every second day or so, I suggest you try this brand. It was also very easily removed with acetone, so you're not struggling to take it off.

In terms of this nail polish stimulating nail growth, I couldn't really tell a difference. My nails grow pretty quickly on their own, so it really wasn't something I could have tested out properly.

The average price for this nail polish is approximately $5.99. It is a little more expensive than your average drugstore brand, but you will get the long lasting effect. As you can tell by the rating I gave this product, I am torn between whether or not to purchase these in the future. If I can get past the bubbling issue, then definitely yes!
