Missed the mark for me
I am a fan of Essie polish but the product images for the blush jelly are super inaccurate. This is not nearly as bright of a pink in person. It’s a really muddy pink color - certainly NOT one I would have purchased.

Hello mrsjillrjones! It is disappointing to hear that the Blush Jelly shade did not meet your expectations for a bright pink finish. Our Nail Art Studio Jelly Gloss collection is uniquely designed to provide a sheer, translucent wash of color with a high-shine, glass-like effect. Because these formulas are buildable and translucent, the final appearance can often be influenced by the natural undertone of your nails or the number of layers applied. To enhance the vibrancy of the color and achieve a more saturated pink look, we suggest applying three thin, even coats, allowing each layer to dry fully to build the pigment intensity. You may also find that applying a crisp white base coat before the jelly polish helps the sheer pink tones stand out more vividly and prevents the color from appearing muted. Your feedback regarding our digital swatches is very valuable to us as we strive to provide the most accurate representation of our salon-quality colors for your at-home manicures.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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. Disclaimer: I received this product free from Influenster and Essie in exchange for my honest review. This is an incentivized review, but all opinions are 100% my own!

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.

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

more creme than jelly
[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!

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!
