Drys fast and thin!
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.

COST, QUALITY, AND SPEEDY DELIVERY!
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.

Sheer, glossy, and buildable for more opacity
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.

Special effects CHROME works to make a plain polish metallic!!!
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.

Great All Around Color
This is really pretty color that works with anything and is long lasting longer than most.

09 pink is more peach and 0 white is gorgeous
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.

Almost there!
Great shine but too transparent. I added 13 drops of black nail polish and now it's great!
