essie Nail Art Studio Special Effects Chrome Polish, Vegan, Peach Nail Polish, Gilded Galaxy, 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.

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.

Bought this after seeing it on one of my coworkers nails. Very soft and shimmery- not over the top and looks really cute as top coat. Love it!

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.

I love this polish so much that I had to write a review!💛 It is a beautiful summer color, goes on smoothly & dries quick! It is long wearing & definitely worth the money.

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.

-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
