  • Drys fast and thin!
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: 13 BLUSH JELLY
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. ... show more

  • Very Special Effects
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: 05 ASTRAL AURA
I love the Essie brand and I bought three special effects colors to see how they work. Ethereal Escape (sheer lavender with violet and blue flecks) Astral Aura (sheer warm pink with violet flecks) and Frosted Fantasy (sheer aqua with gold/silver flecks) It's like brushing on an Aurora borealis effect to your nails. I really like it. The only one I wear alone is Astral Aura as it looks nice on fingernails for a glimpse of color. Special Effects is a good way to explain how it works over other colors of polish. Ethereal Escape over OPI Momager blue is awesome and looks teal from one angle and cobalt from another. Astral Aura over simple lavender Essie Play Date creates a striking lilac shimmer. It's fun to come up with different looks with the same old polishes I've had for years. Update: I tried two more colors... Divine Dimension is a clear top coat with very few flecks of color. It doesn't impress alone nor over any other color of polish. Lustrous Luxury is also just a glitter top coat. You won't notice any color at all if applied alone and over another color it just adds a few flecks of silver glitter. ... show more

  • Generally good
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: 02 COSMIC CHROME
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! ... show more

  • Love this line from Essie
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: 18 APRICOT JELLY
I am absolutely loving Essie's Jelly Polish! The colors are stunning—so vibrant and perfect for any occasion. What really impressed me, though, is how long-lasting the polish is. It stays chip-free for days, even with my busy schedule! My nails feel noticeably healthier and stronger since I started using it, which is a huge bonus. It gives a beautiful, glossy finish and has a smooth, easy application. I highly recommend Essie Jelly Polish to anyone looking for great color, durability, and nail care all in one! ... show more

  • 09 pink is more peach and 0 white is gorgeous
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: 13 BLUSH JELLY
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. ... show more

  • Super easy to use and a great introduction to jelly polish at a decent price
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: 16 CACTUS JELLY
-Dry time and polish thickness/consistency was about average to any other nail polish. -Decent wear. I've worn these for a few days now with a base coat but no top coat doing regular activities (washing dishes without gloves on, scratching stickers off jars, etc.) and they look almost as good as when I first applied them. -Glossy and smooth even without a top coat -Sheer coverage (as to be expected with jelly type). I can still see my natural nails after 2-3 coats ... show more
