essie Nail Art Studio Jelly Gloss Polish, Vegan, Sheer Blue Nail Polish, Sky Jelly, 0.46 Fl Oz

The polish is cute, but I don't think I'll be purchasing another one because the color isnt for me but if it was another color I’d def get it again. PROS: - Drys fast! I set a timrer for 5 minutes, and after that it wouldn't budge. I did also poke it after around a minute and it was already hard. - Liquidy, it isn't goopy at all and application isn't too hard. - Application was very easy. - Pigment, very pigmented - If you put more than 2 layers it doesn’t chip (I’m wearing two layers and it hasn’t chipped in four days) CONS: - The picture I posted was two coats of thin application. It's not as jelly/translucent as it seemed online. - One layer is jelly. Two layers is pretty opaque. If you stare close enough you’ll realize this is jelly but by the third it just looks like a creme polish. Note: for people wanting the viral jelly gel look, your’e looking for “syrup jelly liquid polish”. You won’t really get that look with this polish if you do more than one coat.

The CHROME effect works! I love metallic polish and my older ones that are not metallic barely got used. So I bought this to use those again. Check out my photos! In two of them, you can see the bold turquoise color on nails with the chrome on the ring finger for comparison. I think put the chrome on ALL of them! It really worked and also tones down the a bold color. The chrome is almost a silver on top of turquoise. I tried it directly on the blue polish, plus after putting on a top coat. The metallic effect worked both ways! It also dried really fast and only needed one coat to achieve the effect. I highly recommend! I'm sorry I waited so long to finally buy it.

Purchased Ethereal Escape to use over dark berry “Berry Naughty” from Essie and it literally looks like a unique discontinued limited edition polish from BKL, or like Backspaced by Cracked Lacquers. Beautiful topper

Actually, you’re fine, I just had that line in my head on repeat because trying a yellow jelly without pictures showing me what it looked like on real people was scurry. The first picture is 3 coats of Buttercup Jelly Gloss, the second picture is 4 coats. I prefer it with 3, but was staring at the bottle pondering how it would be better with some nail art—daisies would be so cute—when I noticed the silver label saying it’s actually a part of Essie’s Nail Art Studio line lol. I was surprised how much this color brightened my free edge, I kind of love that. It’s a fast-drying formula and, true to its name, is very glossy, although it looks even better with the Gel Couture top coat. My application was a little streaky in a way that kind of reminded me of raw egg whites, but that might have been user error because this is only the second time I’ve done my own nails in probably 5 years. Be careful not to flood your cuticles because with this yellow, they’ll come out looking crusty! Essie’s flat brush offers good control, but next time I’ll make sure I have better lighting and do my thumbs last so I can use them for clean-up if needed. Overall a unique and durable polish that I would give 5 stars if it was easier to apply without streaks since a jelly is supposed to be sheer.

This is so lovely! The color is a nude pink, but it catches the light and shines. Makes it kind of fun and special.

Not crazy about the consistency of this pink. Also has some peach undertones but isn’t described as a peach, just 09 pink jelly. Does take longer to dry, smudges harshly. The white color however number 0 is lovely! My favorite white look ever. It’s creamy and translucent. Just wish the pink had the same look.

This is really pretty color that works with anything and is long lasting longer than most.

This is a mixed review, since I ordered three polishes: Arctic Jelly (r), Lustrous Luxury (l), and Cosmic Chrome (c). Potential long read ahead 😅 All swatches are over one coat of ridge filling base coat, and one coat of top coat. First, Arctic Jelly. It's definitely a more milky jelly, which is kind of unavoidable since it's white. So it builds up pretty quickly and loses a lot of its translucency after the second coat (two coats in the photos). It's not a bad color, per se, but frankly, I wasn't crazy about it on its own. It kinda makes my nails look fake. Plus, even with a ridge filler underneath, it still didn't have the smoothest application. As it is, I'd only use this underneath a topper, or as part of some other kind of nail art. Speaking of toppers, both Lustrous Luxury and Cosmic Chrome are toppers. (In the photos, I'm wearing Lustrous Luxury on the pinky and ring, Cosmic Chrome on my middle and index). I'll start with Lustrous Luxury. I love this topper! It's a scattered micro-flake holo, but it also has a subtle green to purple duo-chrome quality to it. And it applies nice and smooth, so no need for a thick top coat. No thirsty glitter here. It looks great over both light and dark polishes. Super sparkly and pretty. As for Cosmic Chrome, I'm torn. Overall, I do really love the effect, but I feel hard pressed to call the effect a "chrome". Over the black polish, I'd definitely say the effect is chrome-y, but over the white (Arctic Jelly), it looks more like a pearl. (And I adore it!) I tried it over a third color, an orange, and it definitely looks more like pearl to me. What do you think? It is very brush strokey, so bear that in mind while applying. So overall, these polishes are a fun addition to my nail polish collection, and I think I'll be using them quite a bit, especially Lustrous Luxury. Hope this helps! Happy polishing!

This pretty nail polish has a glittery, white pearl finish which looks beautiful on its own or as a top coat. The effect is simply gorgeous. It’s easy to apply and dries pretty quickly, too. I have no complaints about this nail polish!

Love this color! And the formulation of the nail polish. Looks very similar to a jelly polish without the need for UV and very neutral in color.

I love it as a top coat on my 1 coat of Watermelon polish from Essie. It turns a flat pink into a holographic magenta with blue shine. I can’t stop staring at my nails. I don’t think it’s meant to be used alone. As a top coat on any shade of pink creme polish it works wonders. I also used it over 1 coat Essie’s Peach Daiquiri and loved it. Makes me want to try their Ethereal Escape too.

Gorgeous colour. Looked so pretty with “Wicked”. This would even look amazing by itself for a nice chrome look.

Love the colour and stays on well
