essie Nail Art Studio Special Effects Chrome Polish, Vegan, Silver Nail Polish, Cosmic Chrome, 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.

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.

I’m usually hesitant with nail polishes but honestly this one exceeded my expectations. It dries quicker than I imagined it would! You do have to apply the last layer on a specific way in order to get that “jelly” affect. Super easy to apply and buildable coverage.

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.

It was good but not as pigmented as I thought. It was still good

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.

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.

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.
