essie Nail Art Studio Special Effects Chrome Polish, Vegan, Silver Nail Polish, Cosmic Chrome, 0.46 Fl Oz

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

The color is sweet and subtle. The streaks are a little obvious but its still cute

I like the other colors of this jelly gloss. This one barely has pigment and dries a little matte without a top coat. I put on 3 layers and you can only tell when it’s in bright light.
