Its a pretty polish (with some conditions)
I wanted a milky white manicure look at home without using gel polish. This applies nicely, but is moderately streaky until the 3rd coat. It's a jelly formula, so it's not SUPPOSED to be opaque by the 1st or 2nd coat, but that doesn't mean jelly formulas can't apply SMOOTH by the 2nd coat. White translucent polishes are tricky to apply in general though. I have the mauve-ish color from the jelly gloss collection as well. It applied very smooth and evenly and didn't have a single chip by the time I took my polish off a week later to change the color. I think 3 coats is a tad too opaque for the milky look I was going for, but my nails still look very pretty and classy. I could maybe get away with 2 coats after some application practice. It's a nice, versatile polish- just has a bit of a learning curve. It looks like a gel manicure, so that's nice. I topped mine with Sally Hansen's insta dry top coat just to speed things up, since I had to use 3 coats of polish until it wasn't patchy looking. It's pretty... but I just wonder how long this $12.50 bottle of polish will last me since I'll be using 3 (maybe 2?) coats with this one.

Pale and transparent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always do my nails at home and I was excited to try this nail polish from Essie, even I like it, the color is very pale and transparent, so if you are into a more natural nail style, this is a good one for it. The texture allows an easy application and fast drying.

does not dry on my nails

Hey there robotthecat, we are so sorry to hear this color did not perform as it should! It is so frustrating when you love the shade but the formula just won’t cooperate. Since you’ve already tried it with a base and top coat, it sounds like this specific bottle of our special effects multi-dimensional pearl might not be performing up to our high standards! Please reach out to our Consumer Care team. 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

Of the three colors this was the least favorite.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wife wasn’t to big on this particular color. Definitely was her last choice when she used the three colors. It didn’t have much of a scent. And dry time wasn’t to long but still not her favorite one.

Faster drying than most jelly polishes & chic!
[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.

Great Essie quality!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very beautiful nail Polish, the quality is great, it applies smoothly and dries down quickly , this color is very subtle and though and not a bold white color. You do have to apply about three layers or use it as base for another color on top.

Great top coat for nails
[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.

Lovely
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another great polish by Essie. I love the white milky color it has. It goes on smoothly and doesn’t have an overly thick texture. I find It takes a few layers to achieve the color i desire but is typical of polishes. This dries quickly and stays on for days without chipping.

The best ever
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie’s formula is some of the best you’ll ever find. It can be hard to do a white polish correctly, but Essie nails it every time. It’s the prettiest buildable white ever and pairs perfectly with pink

Loving the jelly formula
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an elegant neutral white shade with some depth because of the jelly texture so it looks sheer but not too sheer. It went on very smoothly and dried well without streaking. Love this shade and formula for a beautiful home manicure!

I love
[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.

Jelly milk
[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.

Great applicator
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Color goes on sheer, takes a few coats to see a good color coverage. It is a great jelly color and is super shiny on. The brush applicator is excellent with great coverage.

Recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie Arctic Jelly is absolutely stunning. The cool, icy tone feels so fresh and modern, making it a standout shade in my collection. The jelly formula layers beautifully, letting me choose between a sheer, natural look or a more vibrant finish. It’s long-lasting and really unique
