essie Nail Art Studio Special Effects Polish, Pearl, Vegan, Blue Nail Polish, Divine Dimension, 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 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!

The nail color is delicious and arrived quickly from Amazon. It sells here for approximately $3.00 less than the off-the-shelf price at the big box stores. I’m glad I could take advantage of using the month-long Prime freebie. It makes these small purchases more palatable for those of us who are not paying the monthly fee for Prime.

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 so lovely! The color is a nude pink, but it catches the light and shines. Makes it kind of fun and special.

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.

This polish applied smooth but you need to use very thin coats. Unfortunately it did not last long and started chipping within days, with entire sections lifting off after less than a week of wear.

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!

This pretty nail polish has a glittery, white pearl finish which looks beautiful on its own or as a top coat. The effect is simply gorgeous. It’s easy to apply and dries pretty quickly, too. I have no complaints about this nail polish!

Love this color! And the formulation of the nail polish. Looks very similar to a jelly polish without the need for UV and very neutral in color.

I love it as a top coat on my 1 coat of Watermelon polish from Essie. It turns a flat pink into a holographic magenta with blue shine. I can’t stop staring at my nails. I don’t think it’s meant to be used alone. As a top coat on any shade of pink creme polish it works wonders. I also used it over 1 coat Essie’s Peach Daiquiri and loved it. Makes me want to try their Ethereal Escape too.

Gorgeous colour. Looked so pretty with “Wicked”. This would even look amazing by itself for a nice chrome look.

Love the colour and stays on well
