  • 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

  • Special effects CHROME works to make a plain polish metallic!!!
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: 02 COSMIC CHROME
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. ... 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

  • Great Color
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: 05 ASTRAL AURA
Gorgeous color! If you are feeling nostalgic and looking for a color similar to cotton candy (from the 90s); this fits the bill with 2 coats.

  • Not the product advertised
Size: 0.46 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: 13 BLUSH JELLY
Blush Jelly, #06. This is definitely not the product that’s advertised. It’s a solid baby pink, not the transparent, jelly color shown in the pics. This is the color with 3 coats. It’s not only the correct color, but the quality is thick and splotchy. I’m questioning whether this is even a legit Essie product or if Essie just missed the mark here. ... 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
