Smooth like Jelly
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Essie Orchid Jelly was a super cute muted lavender color. It was super easy to apply and went on smoothly. It dried in just a few minutes flat. I loved that this polish didn't have a strong chemical smell like some other polishes do. Make sure to prep and prime your nails well beforehand to get this polish to last longer. If you do that, it'll last for over a week and won't chip or peel off easily. You will have to apply several coats to get a decent non translucent color. When it was time to remove, it only took a few minutes to soak off nothing extraordinary.

Gorgeous muted lilac jelly
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Orchid Jelly is sooo pretty! It is a nice muted lilac color, not quite as warm as the website shows. In my photo I put on two coats, and it has the perfect translucent jelly look. One coat would be great for overlaying other colors but two coats is beautiful on its own. Super easy to apply. The polish is so smooth and the color lays very evenly, it’s not patchy like other jelly polishes can be. It’s a thinner polish so it dries by the time you move onto your second coat. I’ve had it on for about 4 days now and there’s only one small chip which is pretty good!

Chic and Sheer
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Essie Jelly Gloss nail polish is great for a sheer look but still adds a chic and pop of color. I’m glad to have this addition to my nail polish palette and collection. I’ve only worn this on its own but can see it be a layering look or design a custom look for your nails. If you do apply this color alone, I would recommend adding more than one layer as the first application is very sheer. But once you layer, the color shows more prominently. It also does have a jelly gloss feel and makes my nails feel so shiny. Lastly drying time was a lot faster than expected. Within five minutes, my nails were already dry and ready for show off. I highly recommend and love that I can layer and build on the colors without having the polish look streaky.

Beautiful color, needs 4 coats
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Essie products and are on of my go to brands. But have not had a chance to try the Jelly Gloss line until now. I thought the color was really beautiful and light. I took me three coats but I think 4 would be the desired look if you want it completely saturated. Although I didn’t try this, since it is so light you could experiment using different colors for an artistic effect. The only knock is I had this on for a couple hours before using my hands to do a task. The polish scrunched up which was a bummer.

Pretty color and nice shiny polish!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s is a typical nail polish bottle in regards to the applicator, making it very easy to apply. The bottle comes full with polish and not much is needed to coat nails. It is a very pretty color with almost a translucent like shine. The only issue I had with it was I noticed was very small bubble like air pockets after applying but that could be because I did not use a top or bottom coat. The smell is not strong just a faint nail polish scent. It dried fairly quick in its own so that was nice!

Super pretty!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] *I received this product complimentary from essie and Influenster for my honest review*
I received two different colors from essie and Influenster, one was orchid jelly and the other was sky jelly. I really liked both of the colors! They were quite sheer but after a couple of coats, their colors were enhanced. They’re both light pastel and so dainty. The colors give a vintage, but colorful feel. The only downside is that it chips really easily. But, it’s definitely a 8/10 for me!

Runny
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 it 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.

Beautiful shade of purple, perfect for spring and summer!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Essie nail polish for free from Influenster and Essie for testing purposes in exchange for my honest review. This nail polish shade is Orchid. It goes on very lightly and does need a few coats. However, it’s a very beautiful shade of light purple once a few coats were applied. Perfect color for spring and summer. It did not have as strong of an odor as most nail polishes do. This nail polish also dried fast with a shiny, smooth, gloss finish.

when you don’t have time for the salon!!!
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love to make sure my nails are done and essie is the way to go! It’s very lightweight yet build able. the color is very cute and light yet strong. It glides on very smooth its more on the liquid side but it doesn’t move around too much. And a little goes a long way. It’s a great pro it for the price! Nail salon quality at home! Doesn’t have a strong scent like the salon though. As well as, it dries very quickly.

Fun new jelly colors
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this free from Influenster in exchange for my honest opinion. This is a really nice jelly polish. It builds up great and allows for layering over other colors. The brush is a great shape, a couple of swipes and my nail was covered. I also found that it dries pretty quickly. If you like see through colors or doing nail art at home, I recommend these polishes.

Beautiful Jelly Nails!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a cute jelly polish. The color that it gives the nail is accurate to the polish in the jar. I feel like it only took five minutes to dry so it felt like any other nail polish in that area. I like that it does the translucent effect very well. You can see my natural nail and then a tint of the color. If you want more of a solid color from the jelly on days that you want to change things up, you can add more coat layers. The dry time is about ten minutes for that. The scent is of this polish very strong and my fingers smelled like it all day after usage. Surprisingly the polish is very durable. I was able to shower, wash hands a lot of times after baking, and do other activities without worrying about the polish coming off. There’s this nice smooth coat the jelly gives after doing my nails. The jelly has the same consistency as regular nail polish. It’s very great for combining different colors too! It’s made me want to wear polish more often!

Lovely color
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another lovely pastel color for summer. It has a jelly texture but applies evenly. One coat, two coats, or three coats produce different effects, but they're all pretty in their own way, in my opinion. Additionally, it's very glossy and dries super quickly. In the picture, I applied 2 coats and with no clear topcoat.

Durable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lovely for spring and summer! It is very easy to apply and, with two thin coats, it gives excellent coverage and a beautiful finish. It is long lasting, and I can get about 5-7 days before it starts to chip, and that’s with daily water exposure. The nail lacquer scent isn’t too overwhelming either

A great buildable polish!
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great solid polish. The texture is thin but it adheres to the nail nicely. I like that this formula allows for buildable coverage. This took three coats but the drying time was fast! The classic Essie packaging never misses and the smell was no more overbearing than other polishes.

i really wanted to try jelly nails, but couldn't drag myself to a salon. this is perfect for an at-home manicure. i love that it's buildable so you can really play around with how sheer or opaque you want it. this was 3 coats topped off with ethereal escape from their special effects line!

New to jelly, but can dig it
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was impressed with this product, but do wish it had a little more staying power. I don’t mind that it took me a few coats to achieve my desired pigment. It’s nice to be able to control the look in that respect. It does have a glossy shine that makes top coat seem unnecessary.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you Influenster for letting me review this nail jelly. I’ve never used a nail jelly before and this was a great polish. Orchid Jelly is a beautiful purple perfect for spring. 1 coat is really sheer but 2 coats is perfect and almost opaque. It is nice and milky.

Jelly and Glossy
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all the color is super nice! Very easy to apply, I applied two coats to get the color, but I think three coats should have been better to see the color. It is definitely glossier than other nail polishes. I wish it would have stayed longer on my nails.

Great nail polish
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually really liked this product! I was a little skeptical because when I put it in the appearance was very transparent. After just one more coat it was full coverage. It’s dried very smoothly into a pretty vibrant color: I would definitely recommend!

Sheer jelly gloss
a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The orchid jelly shade is the least sheer out of the blue and dusty rose color I received. The purple color is pretty however I did not want to paint several coats to get it somewhat opaque. I like that the coats stay thin so it doesn’t feel too thick.

Hi stellaw31, thanks for giving the nail art studio jelly gloss in 'orchid jelly' a try. We're glad you enjoy this midtone purple jelly nail color with blue undertones. Go for those layers...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 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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These polishes are for sure Jelly. They are so translucent id almost use them as a top coat. Overall the finish and coverage just weren't what I prefer alone. I'll be pairing them with other polishes to create an iridescent effect.

Subtle and cute

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging is as any other nail polish, simple but cute. The drying time is less than 5 mins and that’s even with double layers. The scent is a bit strong if you’re in a small decent room. Removable is easy if done properly.

Not a solid color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was not my favorite shade by Essie. As you can see by the photo it is quite translucent. This was after 2 coats and it is still pretty opaque. It also bubbled a little bit after applying the second coat.

Hello ashleym1595! Thank you for sharing your pic and experience with our nail art studio jelly gloss color 'orchid jelly'. We are sorry to hear this midtone purple jelly nail polish with blue undertones wasn't the perfect shade for you, Unlike a classic nail enamel, the jelly gloss goes on in one to two coats for a sheer wash of color, continue layering for a luscious milky-glaze, go to 3 or even 4 coats. Also perfect for layering over your favorite colors for a unique finish.

Hello graciek43. Thanks so much for sharing your results with the Nail Art Studio jelly gloss color 'orchid jelly'. We wish you were seeing the color pay off you were hoping for. This is not the classic nail color from years gone by! The jelly glosses are a sheer, yet buildable jelly gloss finish designed for layers of unique looks. Sheer enough for a juicy glaze, or layer for richer color...swipe on 1, 2. 3 or even 4 coats to get the look you crave. Or layer over your favorite essie nail enamel for an extra pop of color!
