Beautiful blue
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the ESSIE jelly gloss fingernail polish in the color sky jelly exchange for my open and honest review. The blue is a soft, vibrant, blue jelly with a yellow undertone and a 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.

Chic and Sheer
2 years 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 multiple 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.

LOVE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just tried Essie’s new Jelly Gloss nail polish in Sky Jelly, and it’s pure dreamy pastel perfection! The soft baby‑blue shade glides on so evenly that it looks like a watercolored cloud—no streaks in sight. I love how the sheer, jelly‑like formula builds up in layers: one coat gives a delicate hint of color, while two to three coats deliver a luminous, stained‑glass effect. Plus, the glossy finish dries quickly and lasts days without chipping. If you’re into subtle, fresh‑faced nails that still make a statement, Sky Jelly is a must-have. Essie’s nail polish bottles have always been so cute, and affordable.

So 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!

Can't decide which color I loved more
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

Beautiful light powdery blue shade!
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 Sky. It goes on very lightly and does need a few coats. However, it’s a very beautiful shade of light powdery blue 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.

Fun new jelly polish
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. I’m not a big fan of the color with my skin tone as a full nail color. If you like see through colors or doing nail art at home, I recommend these polishes.

pretty sky jelly!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this color! I’m wearing two coats of sky jelly in this photo and it’s still translucent and jelly-looking. The polish is super smooth and applies very evenly, so the finished product is not patchy at all. Since the polish is thin it dries quick enough that I didn’t mess it up while waiting for it to dry. The color is pretty accurate to the photo on the site. I got a lot of compliments on these nails!

Gorgeous & Flexible!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A gorgeous jelly polish that brings an airy vibe. The nail polish was very great with being a bit translucent to where I could see my natural nails but also have that sky blue color. The color that ended up on my nails was very accurate to how it was supposed to look. I don’t feel like the yellow undertones are too noticeable but what mattered to me was the outcome. The process was very simple. The drying time was less than five minutes. What I really like is that I can build coats up with this polish if I feel like needing more of a solid color. I can control how translucent the color ends up with using different amounts of coats. The scent of the polish is strong but bearable. I was able to give nice tints to other colors too after applying this jelly coat to other color coats. It’s so beautiful! There’s so many different designs and techniques you can use with this jelly. It’s the best!

more creme than jelly
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is a super cute color! I really love the look of the sheer jelly polishes, but I found the blue one to have more of a sheer creme finish rather than a jelly one. this photo shows one coat of all the colors plus one of my natural nails. the application wasn't bad, but it wasn't instantaneously even. overall really nice polish, but maybe not for the jelly line!

Could be more durable, but looks adorable
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the color and the glossy shine. I haven’t tried it with a top coat yet because of this. I wish it was a little more durable, but I have been doing a lot around and outside the house lately. It peels off (with some effort, not flaking off) in a satisfying way. It also comes off easily with polish remover, but I haven’t had to do that much yet.

Messily sheer
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im not quite sure I understand the jelly gloss concept. Because this gloss is so sheer it’s hard to apply evenly, so with the blue tint it just looks messy. After a second coat it still looks uneven and messy, it took three coats for the sheer effect to look ok. I alternated coated with the white jelly gloss. It dries quickly which is nice!

A solid polish!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great buildable polish. The light blue is a gorgeous shade. The classic packaging never misses and the scent is not too strong. This took three coats but the drying time is very fast. The amount of product the brush picks up is perfect. This is a pricier polish but I think the quality makes it worth it. I would buy more shades!

All Essie products are a great investment !
2 years 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!

Great nail polish
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail polish is good because it applies really like so all you have to do is more layers if you want more color. There is no scent, I like the packaging to me it’s easier to hold the square shaped bottles. It does take a long time to dry so make sure you don’t plan on doing anything for at least an hr/2 hrs after

Pretty color
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this nail polish was going to be my new favorite! I loved the pretty blue color and the packaging seemed so nice! However I wasn’t expecting the “jelly” texture to be so opaque- which meant lots of layers were needed. Other than that it was very pretty and dried fast!

hi there christinar108, thanks for giving the nail art studio jelly gloss shade ' sky jelly' a try. We're so pleased you love the final results, but you're right...a jelly gloss is different from a classic nail enamel. Its made to go on in thin, buildable layers to customize your look. (for best results, keep the layers thin and build up to you desired color) 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!

Fantastic nail polish
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail polish goes on very easy and is very fun to work with. You can do one coat for a light/translucent look, or layer it to solidify the color. This blue is perfect for summer. The bottles are thick and am not worried if I drop it as I believe this can withstand it.

Great color consistency!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty color, it’s very attractive and not a color you see often! I liked that after three coats, the color indeed looked like a jelly consistency. I loved the vibrancy of the color and do think this will last at least five days without chipping. It looks great!

Beautiful polish
2 years ago
[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. Sky Jelly is a beautiful blue perfect for spring. 1 coat is really sheer but 2 coats is perfect and almost opaque. It is nice and milky.

Soft blue with a little bit sheer but I like it. The brush is very smooth to help you easy to apply color and the polish is last so long. Highly recommend it.

Essie Blue Jelly Polish
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was able to try the blue and white shades of the Essie jelly polish. I definitely prefer the blue to the white. The blue covers most of the nail color from coming through but it is still a little sheer.
Overall I prefer the blue to the white color polish.

Amazing

[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!

Beautiful pastel blue finish
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely loved this blue color, especially in the packaging. When applying it, i had to give it two good coats for it to stick out. The blue finish is very pretty and it has a pastel look to it. It cried very quickly, and it has become a favorite!

Sheer But Shiny
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie is the best nail polish!! The colors are always beautiful and I love the shiny wet look. The jelly collections colors are more on the sheer side but buildable…I applied three coats and it was fully opaque by the end. Dries fast too!!

Thin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These polishes are for sure Jelly. They are so translucent I 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.

Hello bayleighm6. Thank you for sharing your opinion of and results with the nail art studio special effects color 'sky jelly'. We wish you could see all the results you were hoping for. This soft, yet vibrant blue jelly nail polish with yellow undertones; can be worn alone in buildable layers (yes go 1, 2, 3 or even 4 layers to get the jelly look you want). Or use it as a toned top coat to add an extra pop of color to your favorite essie nail enamel!

Very sheer
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I knew the polish would be sheer but this is so sheer. 1 coat has barely any color and I did not want to paint like 10 coats on my finger to get it to the color that the bottle is. However, it does dry fast since it’s so sheer.

Cloud Blue

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is beautiful and shiny but its very sheer despite the times its coated over the nail. Its a beautiful color probably best overlayed over a white just to make it pop beautifully. It does take a while longer time dry .

Chipped after 3 days

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This color was beautiful, especially when layering it. The applicator provided great coverage. It dried fairly quickly between layers. The only downside was that it chipped after 3 days, despite applying a topcoat.

Color for summer
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lovely color for summer! The lacquer is dried quickly and glossy. As this is jelly color, I have to apply 3 coats for full coverage. But if you just want a light tinted blue for design, jelly color is good option.
