dreamy
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!

Disapointed
The color in the photo is way lighter and more jelly than how it appears in person just in the bottle. Upon application the first coat is thin and jelly however each additional layer just makes it cloudy and bubbly.

Streaky and not really jelly
Streaky. Not jelly. Not transparent unless you do one coat (which looks streaky). If you specifically want jelly polish don’t get this one.

It's nice
Lovely color, but takes an insane amount of time to air dry. Make sure you sit in front of a fan

Hi there Deb! Thank you for your feedback on the Art Studio Jelly Gloss Vegan Sheer Nail Polish, in the Blush Jelly shade. We are sad to hear that shade was not what you expected and it was more of a peach shade than a pink shade. We will share this feedback with our product and development teams. We hope that you will continue to try and use our products with satisfaction in the future.

Best Milky Pink I've Used
The color is not quite as bold as the photo, but it’s still a gorgeous subtle pink. It’s a little more like cherry blossom pink, and the effect after one coat looks like pink milk glass… GORGEOUS. I need to stop myself from panic buying 2 dozen of these out of fear they’ll discontinue it (but I probably will, anyway) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Blush is beautiful
This color and jelly gloss is one of the best I've ever had. It lasts a long time, and I don't baby my nails. I'm going to try the other colors as well. So happy with this product.

Never received
I'm sure it is great but I never received it from my grocery order and there was no way in the app to request help or a refund. Super disappointing as it was for my daughter's Easter basket.

Not what I expected
I'm not sure why it's called jelly gloss; this is just regular nail polish. It's nothing special and I wouldn't buy it again.

Cute!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is easy to open and has a pleasant scent. It provides buildable coverage and a smooth finish with each coat. The packaging is adorable, and there are a variety of effective colors to choose from. I’m definitely going to buy the collection.

No Really A Jelly Polish
It’s a really nice color but I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone looking for a jelly polish. The sheerness and opacity is super uneven so it just ends up looking like a polish with bad opacity rather than an intentionally sheer polish. Will definitely be returning unfortunately :(

Hi there Colleeflower, We can see this wouldn’t be the result you were hoping for…The Jelly Gloss colors are made to go on in buildable layers (up to 4 coats) to get the desired look, however, they should not look streaky. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET

Almost no pigment
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nail polish pretty liquid. Has regular smell. Has nice design. Dry time as always. It is not hard to remove this nail polish. Easy to paint and easy to remove!

Hello annao151! Thank you for sharing your experience with the nail art studio jelly gloss in the color 'orchid jelly '. We are delighted to see you find this midtone purple jelly nail polish with blue undertones so easy to put on and easy to remove. 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!

The Best Manicure
What I love about this product is that it makes my nails look like I have a French manicure without having to go to a salon. It was very easy to apply and dries quickly!

A great buildable polish!
[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.

Sheer jelly gloss
[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.

Great Color and Longevity
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail polish is great for a variety of looks depending on how many coats you use. The purple is fantastic and a go to for spring and summer time. Application is easy with the brush and dries fairly quickly and last a very long time. For sure recommend.

Nice color
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this one from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. Essie orchid jelly is very cute purple. The color is jelly but it cover your nail enough to make it pretty. Love it

Chic and Sheer
[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.
