essie Nail Art Studio Jelly Gloss Polish, Vegan, Sheer Green Nail Polish, Cactus 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.

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

I bought this for a Christmas stocking item for my son’s girlfriend and she loved it!!!!! Fun name, fun color and overall a great nail polish!

Please do not buy this expecting some sort of semi-opaque black. It's a very lightly pigmented, very sheer black. I bought it because I was looking for a GREY jelly, and after looking at some swatches this seemed perfect. After two coats it's a sheer grey. I don't know how many coats it would need to come out as a full-on black, another reviewer mentioned five? Which seems like a lot. If you want a blacker jelly, maybe experiment with making your own (clear nail polish + some drops of black nail polish). For me this was exactly what I was looking for, but strictly speaking it's not black so I still took a star off.

This is beautiful nail polish very shimmery shiny looks just like the color in the bottle it's absolutely beautiful?

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.

Goes on streaky and uneven, even with perfectly prepped nails (oiled, cleaned, with base coat). Disappointing as I love the brand. This formula doesn't work well.

I tried the Essie Nail Art Studio Jelly Gloss in Arctic Jelly and really like it. The sheer white shade gives a soft, clean look with a glossy jelly finish. One coat is very light, but it is buildable to make the color more opaque. The polish applies evenly, dries in a reasonable amount of time, and leaves a smooth, glass like shine. With two to three coats the coverage is noticeable but still delicate, which makes it versatile for both everyday wear and nail art. The polish has lasted several days without major chipping. Overall, this is a pretty, buildable jelly polish that delivers exactly what it promises.
