        Favorite regular nailpolish

        2 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this nailpolish for free in exchange for my honest review. I've been using Essie nailpolishes whenever I dont have gel and I know this brand quality is always the best! The variety of colors and shades are great, the consistency is so smooth and just right to make a perfect layer. It lasts me about 3-4 days without chipping at all and about a week of my nails looking okay without noticeable or big chips. But keep in mind that I have 3 kids so I have to do many things for them, showers every day, playing, drawing, washing the dishes, cleaning! And the nailpolish is very easy to remove and reapply. And since it dries fast I'm EXTREMELY SATISFIED!

        Blush Jelly- dries slow and not a good match for my skin tone

        2 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, I wanted to start with the positives. This is a great nail polish brand. It is easy to apply and i typically only need about two coats and has a shiny finish. It does last a while before it starts chipping. The negatives: -It dries very slow. I do not like sitting in one place too long and so I often create “blemishes” in it which I have to go over again. This would not be a good nail polish to use on kids or impatient adults like myself. - The Blush Jelly did not compliment my skin tone. However, of course what looks good on one person may not compliment the next. Overall, I do like this nail polish.

        Hi there shelbyu10, thank you for sharing your pics and experience with the nail art studio jelly gloss color 'blush jelly'. We wish you could see all the results you were hoping for with this creamy pink jelly nail polish with yellow undertones. But you're right...a jelly gloss is different from a classic nail enamel. It’s made to go on in thin, buildable layers to customize your look. Use it alone or with up to 4 coats depending on the look you're going for, or layer over your favorite essie nail enamel for a unique finish!

        Beautiful pink

        2 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the ESSIE jelly gloss fingernail polish in the color blush jelly exchange for my open and honest review. The pink is a creamy pink with yellow undertones and a semi translucent finish. It does have a lot of shine to it like the packaging of the product and I did find that once the fingernail polish dried it did have a lot of shine and looked very pretty, I think the size of the product at 13.5 MLS is a perfect size for fingernail polish. Brush is a great size and shape and allows for product to be added equally throughout the nail all in all this is a good brand and a very good fingernail polish.

        Arctic Jelly- great coverage but dries slow

It is easy to apply and i typically only need about two coats. It does last a while before it starts chipping.

        Essie! Now I want all colors in this collection! Too cute!

        2 years ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you Essie and Influenster for sending me two adorable colours from Jelly Gloss Collection! I’m a spring and summer girl, so pastel colors have always been my go-to, and this two colors are too cute! It is a sheer and plump pink color, just like pink jello. Drying time and chip resistance: I sat there for 10 mins after top coat (i’m using Essie regular top coat - been on my third bottle) after that I took a shower, washed and massaged my hair and came out no chipping at all! Also, the reason that I always choose Essie nail polishes for doing nail at home is the curve of the brush, you know it is hard and messy to paint the other hand, but with Essie brush shape, it was super easy, no mess and no need to clean up the cuticle or the sides.

        I love

        a year ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie never disappoints when it comes to presentation. “Arctic Jelly” comes in the brand’s classic, elegant bottle, with a shade that at first glance appears to be a translucent, almost ethereal ice blue. Ideal for those seeking a natural, minimalist look, or for playing with layers and nail art. With one coat, you get a soft, subtle shine. With two or three coats, the color intensifies, but never loses that beautiful translucent effect. Surprisingly, it dries fairly quickly between coats and doesn’t feel heavy.

        Super cute colors

        a year ago
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my best option for adding color and life to my nails at home, saving me money and time on trips to the manicurist, and it's a good quality polish. It dries quickly, I don't need a nail lamp, and the color is bright and solid. The scent isn't as intense compared to other polishes, and the square packaging keeps the bottle from slipping and prevents spills. For the price and quality, I'll now buy other shades of nail polish. It normally lasts 10 days, considering my multiple activities at home.

          Great nail polish

          2 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Essie nail polish I received came packaged well and all nail polish was intact. Love the simplicity of the bottles and easy to open to apply. The scent wasn’t too fragrant which I liked. The polishes were a little more shear than anticipated, but still beautiful once added more layers. Drying time was pretty on par for most nail polishes and doesn’t take any special application techniques . All in all, the polish was great to try and I’m sure I will try some of the shades again soon!

          Fav!!!

          a year ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tested Essie’s Blush Jelly Jelly Gloss, and wow—the perfect “my‑nails‑but‑better” hue! This sheer rosy‑pink shade feels effortlessly chic and matches every outfit, from casual jeans to a little black dress. The buildable formula is so forgiving—start with a single coat for a subtle wash of color or layer it for a deeper, glossy finish that still lets tips peek through. The hydrating jelly texture makes application smooth, and the high‑shine topcoat effect keeps nails looking freshly painted for days. Blush Jelly is my go‑to for a soft, feminine mani that doesn’t quit! Essie makes the cutest nail polishes at such an affordable price. Disclaimer: I received this product free from Influenster and Essie in exchange for my honest review. This is an incentivized review, but all opinions are 100% my own!

          Nice light color and easy application

          2 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this nail polish is pretty nice! The formula is very thin, though, so I had to put on three coats to really see the color. The color itself is also very light, which can be nice, depending on what you’re looking for. It goes on smoothly and dries quickly, which I like. However, after a day or so, my nails starting looking kind of bumpy and almost had a pinkish tint to them- not sure if it’s something I did or the polish itself? Overall, this is a decent nail product I’d say.

          Hello graciek43! Thank you for sharing your pics and experience with the Nail Art Studio Jelly Gloss in the 'arctic jelly' color. This icy, soft white jelly nail polish with subtle yellow undertones has a sheer, buildable translucent finish. Wear it alone, and build it up to 4 layers for unique results. Or layer it over your favorite color.

          Best nail polish yet!

          2 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's very opaque, which is something I guess I should have accounted for when jelly nail polish was involved 😅 it can take anywhere from 2-4 applications for a darker shade, as pictured above. The lighter ones are one application, and then two applications between the middle and forefinger. The second photo it's 3-4 applications(I didn't keep track) to get a darker shade. However, I loved it even on the lightest side of things - it felt very summery! After a week, I've noticed very light chipping but nothing to write home about. Which is surprising because by the time a week rolls around most of my nail polish is gone with any other brand! It hasn't been harder to remove than normal nail polish, which I've really appreciated. Overall I love this shade and you can now consider me an Essie girl for life lol

          Jelly milk

          a year ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This arctic jelly is a milky white color. It is jelly like which is very different from other white colors. It can be worn on its own and gives nails a sheer white color or it can be applied as topcoat. I used it in combination with blush jelly and if you prefer pinkish finish you apply blush jelly on top and if you prefer a pale color finish you apply arctic jelly on the top. It is very similar to the very popular milky pink jelly nails which you can get from salons.

          Wasn’t a fan

          2 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Influenster and Essie in exchange for my honest review. (Incentive) I wasn’t a fan of this product I had to use multiple coats just to get any color and by that time it was to thick and tacky looking. I normally wear gel polish but this one wasn’t what I expected. It lasted about a week and a half before ur started chipping. It was runny when I put it on also. I just want a fan of this product and I won’t purchase it again.

          Overall great product! Has intended “jelly” affect

          2 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail Polish is easy to apply and it doesn’t smell strong either! It has been 2 weeks and has barely even chipped! The only chips were from daily tasks of cleaning and bumping hard but honestly is more resilient than normal polish. It dried fairly quick as well and didn’t smudge. I would highly recommend this polish as it is worth it. It is a bit opaque but that is just the type of polish that it is. It gives that “jelly” look and I am in love!

          Great nail polish!!!

          2 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Essie nail polish I received came packaged well and all nail polish was intact. Love the simplicity of the bottles and easy to open to apply. The scent wasn’t too fragrant which I liked. The polishes were a little more shear than anticipated, but still beautiful once added more layers. Drying time was pretty on par for most nail polishes. All in all, the polish was great to try and I’m sure I will try some of the shades again soon!

          Faster drying than most jelly polishes & chic!

          a year ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! This jelly polishes dries faster than most Essie polishes and layers well. It’s super shiny before the topcoat and makes my skin look tan without being too pastey of a white. The brush size is just right for application and made it easy to keep my cuticles clean. I found that it wore for 7+ days. I’m excited to keep wearing this! You can see 1 coat on the left & 2 coats on the right side of my thumb for comparison of coverage.

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I love Essie nailpolishes, I already had variety of colors at home and this one is a great addition since I like natural shades. It lays smoothly on the nail and does not look messy. It has a smell like all nailpolishes do. But it goes away quickly. The nailpolish dries very fast and thats extremely important for me since I have kids and they always need my help.

          Perfect summer color!

          2 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the white color especially in summer, it is my all time favorite! I applied easily, and it dried like the same time as a regular nail polish. The color is both opaque at all though, like it says it is really jelly. You don’t get the white color in first coat though. You have to apply minimum 2 coats, and I think three will be even better. It should have longer a lot longer, I wish!!!

          Translucent and shiny

          2 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was mailed in a box with good packaging. The scent is a bit strong. I feel like this dries a lot quicker than regular nail polish. If you want a real solid color, it takes about three coats. Dries shiny and it does look like gel polish! Just make sure to do really thin coats. The color reminds me of the color of milk and is a bit translucent. It’s a very pretty color!Great nail polish!

          Pretty color, but not the best

          2 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to love this finger nail polish, but it wasn’t my favorite. I thought it didn’t go on very well and took almost 4 coats to just achieve this look. The polish shows flaws very easily and I waited about 30 mins for it to dry and still wasn’t dry. I ended up ruining the polish right after. It was easy to remove with nail polish remover. The color is very pretty though.

          Hi there madelineb90, we want to understand what happened just as much as you do. All of our nail colors should glide on easily. The nail art studio jelly gloss like the 'blush jelly' you used is different from a classic nail enamel. Its made to go on in thin, buildable layers to customize your look. Use it alone in up to 4 coats depending on the look you're going for, or layer over your favorite essie nail enamel for a unique finish. It sounds like your coats were not applied thinly enough, the layers should dry quickly.

          Need three or more coats for true color to be seen on nails

          2 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The application of Arctic jelly was easy to do. I feel like because the color is so light, it will need more coats to fully be the right pigment, depending on your skin tone. With my darker skin, the photo shows two coats. I feel like I would need three or four to get the true tone, but I do like this neutral color as an every day color for my nails.

          Very shiny

          a year ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried both of these Essie polishes and they’re gorgeous! The pink “Jelly Gloss” has a soft, sheer finish that looks super clean and shiny — perfect for everyday wear. The shimmery lavender shade catches the light beautifully and adds a fun, iridescent touch. Both apply smoothly and dry pretty fast. Love how fresh and glossy my nails look!

          Jelly-like finish

          a year ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Blush Jelly is the perfect sheer pink for a soft, glossy manicure. The formula applies smoothly and gives that jelly-like finish, translucent with a touch of pink that feels very soft and natural. It is buildable, and after two or three coats it develops into a beautiful blush-toned finish. It pairs beautifully with shimmer toppers.

          Warm pink crelly

          2 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice wide brush, which made application very easy. Polish applied more as a crelly/sheer polish and was patchy, even after three coats. Would not call this a jelly at all. Dry time was fast, which was a plus. Would recommend for those who would like a sheer warm pink polish, but don’t expect a jelly finish.

My impression after trying it is that the brush is quite good, I can paint it myself easily, the color is bright, the paint dries quickly, the paint is not too thick nor too thick. liquid. Overall I am very satisfied. I will buy more to give to family and friends

          Cute

          2 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pigment of this jelly polish is girly and subtle, which I adore. However, it did take a few coats to get full coverage. I probably could’ve gone for a few more coats to get the look I need. I expected as such being that its meant to give the jelly vibe, but it slowed me down more than I’d hoped.

          Jelly Polish

          2 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually like polishes that cover my nail well and aren’t super sheer. This jelly polish is made to be sheer. The formula is decently thick but is definitely more opaque. I think I would love this polish over another color. The white is very sheer and I can see my nail through 2 coats of polish.

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very excited to try this when it got delivered, however, I was hoping the pigmentation on the fingernails would have been brighter. Some people may like the translucent finish, but for me personally it’s not my favorite! It did dry quickly, so that was definitely a plus as well.

          Hi there morganmarks1, thanks for giving the Nail Arts Studio special effects color 'arctic jelly' a try. We wish you could see all the results you were hoping for. This may be a bit different than you were expecting...this jelly nail polish with subtle yellow undertones is made to be worn alone or layer with essie polishes for a unique look. Worn alone, you can create the look you want; apply one to two coats for a sheer wash of color, continue layering for a luscious milky-glaze.

          Streaky

          2 years ago
          No matter what I do, this nail polish will not go on evenly and is streaky. I have applied this with one, two and three coats trying to eliminate streaks and it always streaks. I’m extremely unhappy with this product and feel like I wasted money. I would not recommend arctic jelly.

          No, I do not recommend this product.

          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The color is so light its hard to show in photos. It makes as a great topper to a color but not on its own. I prefer glitter on my nails so its a great top coat. I run my nails under cold water to dry them quickly. I have gotten a lot of compliments. The price is reasonable too.

          Poor polish quality

          2 years ago
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This polish didn’t glide on easily, like other polish brands I’ve used in the past. It took nearly 4 coats to look somewhat good. Since I had to lather on the layers, the polish ran off my nail and took forever to dry. I ended up removing the polish, shortly after it was applied.
