essie Nail Art Studio Special Effects Chrome Polish, Vegan, Peach Nail Polish, Gilded Galaxy, 0.46 Fl Oz

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.

Gorgeous color! If you are feeling nostalgic and looking for a color similar to cotton candy (from the 90s); this fits the bill with 2 coats.

Purchased Ethereal Escape to use over dark berry “Berry Naughty” from Essie and it literally looks like a unique discontinued limited edition polish from BKL, or like Backspaced by Cracked Lacquers. Beautiful topper

Please do not buy this expecting some sort of semi-opaque black. It's a very lightly pigmented, very sheer black. I bought it because I was looking for a GREY jelly, and after looking at some swatches this seemed perfect. After two coats it's a sheer grey. I don't know how many coats it would need to come out as a full-on black, another reviewer mentioned five? Which seems like a lot. If you want a blacker jelly, maybe experiment with making your own (clear nail polish + some drops of black nail polish). For me this was exactly what I was looking for, but strictly speaking it's not black so I still took a star off.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This nail polish is GORGEOUS! I got the chrome color and i love it. It completely transformed my nail look. I’ve been wearing it for four days over another Essie nail polish and it hasn’t chipped. First time using it I put on one coat, I just put on a second coat an hour ago and OMG it’s STUNNING! I’m obsessed. I used it over a nail polish that I felt might have been too pink for the nude tone i was going for and this nail topper made it so much better. I really feel like this is a nail polish you could put over any color you didn’t like and it would fix it. And it seems to dry really fast too! I’m already planning different color combinations I can use with this chrome polish. I haven’t been this excited by a nail polish ever. If you’re thinking about it just buy it. A new staple!!

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 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.

Blush Jelly, #06. This is definitely not the product that’s advertised. It’s a solid baby pink, not the transparent, jelly color shown in the pics. This is the color with 3 coats. It’s not only the correct color, but the quality is thick and splotchy. I’m questioning whether this is even a legit Essie product or if Essie just missed the mark here.

This pretty nail polish has a glittery, white pearl finish which looks beautiful on its own or as a top coat. The effect is simply gorgeous. It’s easy to apply and dries pretty quickly, too. I have no complaints about this nail polish!

Love this color! And the formulation of the nail polish. Looks very similar to a jelly polish without the need for UV and very neutral in color.

I love it as a top coat on my 1 coat of Watermelon polish from Essie. It turns a flat pink into a holographic magenta with blue shine. I can’t stop staring at my nails. I don’t think it’s meant to be used alone. As a top coat on any shade of pink creme polish it works wonders. I also used it over 1 coat Essie’s Peach Daiquiri and loved it. Makes me want to try their Ethereal Escape too.

Gorgeous colour. Looked so pretty with “Wicked”. This would even look amazing by itself for a nice chrome look.

Love the colour and stays on well
