Review - Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle in Bold Buff

Hi there!

So today I'm blogging about my new favourite nail product around and let me tell you, it will save your nails! Haha, big promise, but I have every belief that this product is (as it's name would suggest) a miracle for nails. Sally Hansen's Nailgrowth Miracle in Bold Buff is a creamy nude-coloured, french pink shade which is really pretty and shines like the light of the sun. Seriously, it's such a nice formula, I've had people comment on how healthy my nails look and questions like, 'Wow, how do you keep your nails in such good shape?'

What is the product claim? Well, that's the sad thing... Sally Hansen is a brand which is constantly developing and evolving, so despite only buying this from www.boots.com about three months ago, the colour seems to have been discontinued in order to make space for the next best thing! That 'thing' being a gold-bottled clear polish by the same name. I even can't get Bold Buff on the Sally Hansen website, which is a shame really as I'm pretty addicted to it. Anyways, I assume the claim for the gold bottle is the same of that for the pink colour, so here goes...


'Salon Strength Treatment 30% longer-looking nails in 5 days!
You'll get stronger, harder, yet flexible nails which grow longer.'


And it's as simple as that. I totally 100% agree with the product claim. I tend to directly apply two coats to a newly buffed nail then apply a new coat every day. There is no need for a base coat whatsoever, it's great! After just four days, I saw that the part of nail at the base (near my cuticle) had about a millimeter of unpainted nail and I couldn't understand it. That's until I realized that my nail was about a millimeter further past the tip of my finger than four days earlier. No joke, my nails had grown a millimeter or so in four days.

Now, don't get me wrong, I know that our nails grown every day. However, I've never noticed it like that before. Even when I'm wearing darker polishes, I've never seen the growth from nail bed before. This colour doesn't really chip, and I swear to God if it wasn't for the fact that once I have a thick enough coating of polish I have this apparent obligation to peel it off (so satisfying) then I'm sure I would have a nice thick covering still intact even now, a week and a half later!

As well as the fantastic treatment the formula provides, the colour is oh-so-feminine and makes my hands look like those of a classy Hollywood movie star.

Ten out of ten for Nailgrowth Miracle and I think every girl looking for healthy nails with a shiny polish should invest considering you are effectively getting a salon treatment at home! It costs £9.65 on www.boots.com and is totally worth the money.

  1. I couldn't agree with you more! Sally Hansen is really good for their nail growth & strengthining polishes. I have the one in the gold bottle. I bought it about a year ago when my nails needed a serious makeover. I remember saying the same thing, how I noticed results almost right away and loved how my nails shined.

    I found your blog on my blog hop. Thanks for joining!!

  4. Hey Kelly! I love the bloghop idea, seriously genius in terms of getting to know some new blogs and bloggers, and getting my name out there too. I want the gold one now lol. I'm obsessed! Sally Hansen for the win :D

    GlitzGlamBudget Thanks for the compliment about the layout and what not. I'm terrible at editing HTML and spent hours up with my clever friend Vikki http://victorias-vintage.blogspot.com/ trying to get it to look good, so I'm glad it's appreciated haha! I love your blog - budget blogs are my favorites as I'm a student and super-poor haha!

    Sarah, what do you do for work? It also strengthens nails and puts them in great condition also, so perhaps it would be a good investment anyway? I seriously swear by it!

    Thanks for the comments guys, it means a lot :)

  6. Ommmmg. I am a serial nail biter, like the WORST, so I am so tempted by this. If I even saw a wee bit of growth maybe that'd encourage me to let it grooow ^_^

  7. Oh my God, seriously try it! My sister is a nail biter (it hasn't stopped her) and yet her nails looked WAY better than usual when I put some of this on her as a base coat this weekend! Let me know what you think!

  8. Hi there, I just stumbled on your blog because I was looking for reviews on the Sally Hansen Bold Buff polish. I noticed you'd said they had retired it, but it's back! Just bought some at WalGreens. It's a great color, love the natural, subtle pink tone.

    1. Brilliant! I'll have to stock up before they decide to discontinue it again. Thanks for the heads-up :)
