essieNail Art Studio Jelly Gloss Polish, Vegan, Sheer Blue Nail Polish, Sky Jelly, 0.46 Fl Oz

I got the Blush Jelly. The color is perfect for me (a pink-peachy nude with neutral undertones), the perfectly thin consistency is easy to work with, and the semi-sheer/glossy finish is beautiful. It dries super quickly and doesn't have any bubbles/streaking. This is my new everyday nail polish! It's so simple and elegant.

Perfect to add a little sparkle and shine without being excessive. This was a purchase for my niece who usually has trouble getting nail polishes to last. It went on smoothly, dried quickly, didn't chip, and lasted over a week. She loved the color, and it was still appropriate to wear to school.

Great polish. Stays on well. Pretty color.

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!

One of the most durable nail polishes. I used one coat of the Essie base coat, then three coats of cactus jelly. Bottom pick is day one, middle one week, top a week and a half. Needed to cut my nails so took it off before hitting the two week mark. Already ordered another color!

I love this nail polish! The color I bought was cheeky jelly. It's a beautiful nude glossy color. It's very natural looking and just a beautiful color!

Product quality is good....however, the color is not as expected. This color is extremely metalic and not as expected - and cannot be returned. If looking for a very metalic shade of silver, this is for you.

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.
