Advantages: Long lasting manicure
Disadvantages: None, other than the price
I finally bit the bullet and paid £5.95 for a bottle of Sally Hansen’s mega shine. I had seen an advertisement for it in a magazine, and was very tempted to try it, but had been put off slightly by the price. The practical side of me also recognised that I already have a cupboard full of partly used bottles of nail polish and products, so I shouldn’t really add to it. However, mega shine is different. It claims to protect your nail polish by providing a mirror shiny top coat, which lasts for up to 8 days. I must say that I agree! I used it almost a week ago and am very impressed with the results. My nails have a smooth and shiny surface, which HAS DEFINITELY prevented my nail polish from chipping. This may sound like an advertising promotion, but I have found mega shine to be the best top coat product I have tried. My nails still look as good as when I painted them, which is exactly what I wanted! It is very easy to apply (you can even apply it over wet nail polish), and it dries quite quickly. The instructions say you can apply either one or two coats - I found one to be sufficient. You can also reapply it between manicures if necessary. It’s available in most major drugstores - I bought mine from Boots. However, I have not seen it any cheaper than £5.95. In conclusion, I find this to be an excellent product that does exactly what it claims to do. Whilst it is not necessarily the cheapest product available, it is certainly good value for money as it means I need to paint my nails less often. This will make my other nail polish go further, plus save me valuable time.

- 30/05/05 Cannot agree with the Sally Hansen Megashine review. Yes it does look shiny but the most I get out of it is 3 days. After that, it starts peeling at the tips and the sides. If you removed the flaky bits, it lifts the nail varnish underneath as well. Life is just too short for these things that promise and don't work.
