Getting the long-lasting results of a gel polish doesn't require tons of time -- or a UV light -- with Sally Hansen's Miracle Gel Polish, $9.99. Paint your nails with the color of your choice (no base coat required), and then seal it in with the included topcoat. It dries in minutes to a glossy, chip-resistant finish that lasts for nearly two weeks.
