The other day I was so pleasantly surprised to find a box on my porch from Sally Hansen. Sally Hansen has always been the epitome of nail care for me, ever since i was a kid. I would save my babysitting money to buy the nail hardener, or the french tip kit. I instantly felt like a 14 year old little girl, I was so, so happy.

Which one of us has not bought the Saly Hansen Nail Hardener in the little round bottle?

Which one of us has not bought the Sally Hansen French Manicure kit?

If you said no, I would wonder about your memory because I honestly think we all have been there, done that.

Sally Hansen at home gel system is so easy to use. I did my mom’s nails without reading the instructions

. The next day I did have to fix 2 nails but since then they have been fine. I used the system on myself tonight. I bought Commander in Chic gel polish, as you all know Commander in Chic from the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure line is my favorite color of all time. The SH gel system includes the light for curing the gel, which is only about 30 seconds each time so it goes by fast.

The kit includes everything you need for a gel manicure at home. This one included a red polish which I used on my Mom. I bought Commander in Chic at Walgreen’s for around $12.99.

I think my nails look beautiful! And the best part? No down time. No waiting until I can look through my purse for car keys, no waiting until I can cut some cheese for Betty and me to have our nighttime snack. They are smooth, no rough edges and no pulling up around the edges. I am very happy with this system and I give it 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 out of 5! It really is that good. You can find this system wherever Saly Hansen products are sold. 💅 As a side note: If you shop at Walgreens be sure to ask them for a coupon on this item. They usually have coupons in their drawer, at the beauty counter check out..
How close is Commander in Chic gel polish to the C in C CSM?

Pretty close, the gel system color is a bit darker. Commander in Chic from the CSM is still my favorite color of all time!

One more note, I know this is a long post, but I want to get this in here to see what you think. I think I should be able to use the gel base coat and top coat with any polish. Have any of you tried that? I’m going to try that, soon. I’ll let you know if it works or not. But how great would that be if it did work for all polishes?

**Please note: even though this product was sent to me for my review, there were absolutely no instructions or requirements sent by Sally Hansen as to what my opinion should be for this item. All opinions are my own, honest opinions of this item. *** Please see my Disclosures page for a complete list of my policies in this regard.

I honestly want to thank Sally Hansen for sending this to me. I am very grateful for the opportunity to review this item and appreciate your trust in my opinion and honest review.
Betty says thank you too. She was so happy, because I was so happy, she is such a cutie pie. I was between the stages of laughing and crying and she didn’t know what to think!

**Update: Day 2 Sally Hansen New Salon Gel Polish Manicure Starter Kit

This is my Mom’s beautiful hands with the red gel system on. I had to fix a couple of nails that had peeled off, total operator error on my part, but once fixed they are holding up great!
I did remove my gel nails this morning. After I made the video showing how to apply I was reading the instructions and they say to add 2 coats if needed. I added a second coat, although not needed, again total operator error on my part. I have had one of those days where I didn’t know what polish to wear. This is what I ended up with.

This is Estée Lauder Pure Color in Purple Passion. In the morning I am going to add the gel coat as a top coat. I am curious to see how that works. This may be a disaster in the making, but as always, I will keep you posted.

💅 💅 As always, thanks for stopping by.
