Adds a gorgeous pink shimmer to any manicure
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Astral aura is the perfect name for this nail polish because this special effects top coat adds the most magical effect to any nails. Especially over pink nails, this top coat adds this extra wow effect that I’m obsessed with. The nail polish dries very quickly, it took around 2 minutes to dry and my favorite part is that it actually is very chip resistant! I used it on top of a layer of a plain pink polish from essie and it lasted a full week before chipping which is 2x as much as any other brand I tried. The top coat has beautiful shimmers of pink and red in it, and it looks amazing as it glitters in the light. Overall, this top coat is so easy to use and instantly amplifies any plain nail polish to something looking magical!

Gorgeous and magical shimmery special effects top
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The most ethereal and gorgeous top coat i’ve ever tried! I LOVE the gorgeous blue and purple hues, as the sun hits my nails it lets off the most gorgeous color ever. The small pieces of shimmer glitter in the light and add such a fun layer of extra magic to all your nails. I put on only one layer of ethereal escape to my blue nails and it instantly elevated the look. The nail polish dries so quickly and only needs one layer to look wonderful! I tried putting multiple layers and it ended up looking multi-dimensional and amazing. It dries super quickly, and I felt as if my nails were much more chip resistant throughout the week. This regular manicure lasted over a week with no chips! Overall a great special effect top coat

Love
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [I received this product in exchange for my honest review] My favorite nail polish! I like that the color is like a color shifting of pink & yellow. It can be applied by itself or layered. The packaging is nice as well. The scent smells like nail polish, but not a strong scent. It dries quickly with a top & base coat!

Cute shimmery duochrome topcoat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shade to me feels like the grown up version of the fun glittery top coats I used to wear with huge chunks of glitter in my early 20’s. But more subtle and refined. I love the blue pink reflects! You can layer this and amp up the coverage of the sparkle and shine - I used flash to try to show that here. Left is 1 coat & right is 2. Texture and application was great. Dried quickly!

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.

Lovely shimmer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So pretty, pink and subtle. I loved this, the polish was very easy to apply and dry down, lasted a good amount of days without chipping. I used it layered on top of a white nail color but it looked very pretty on its own shimmering in the sun.

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.

LOVE this polish!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely obsessed with this glittery purple. It is translucent so you can wear it either alone to give your nails a little shimmer or on top of another polish. I actually think it looks prettiest on top of the blush jelly pink polish!

Magical
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a a magical looking pink and purple glitter. Dries really fast. Would look beautiful over another polish but looks adorable on its own as well.

So sparkly
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a gorgeous blue glitter topper. It dries super fast and looks so sparkly and fun. Looks great alone but would look incredible layered on top of another polish.

Beautiful color
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very unique color and it reminds me of camillion paint. The color changes in the light and is very eye catching. I like the easy application, two coats is perfect.

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.

Gorgeous shade
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really loved this color . It’s such a beautiful topper shade. An iridescent blue/purple to pink . It’s beautiful on its own or on top of another color . I put mine over a mauve shade . It does take some time to dry but normal polishes usually do . It lasted very nicely without chopping or peeling off . The little bottle is pretty as well .

Astral Aura
A sheer, shimmer/glitter nail polish is my go-to, and this couldn’t be better. I’ve been searching for a pink glitter polish, but I’ve only seen silver or gold glitters in a sheer pink base. Essie knocked this one out of the park for me. I love the subtle flash of pink. The formula is long-lasting, especially compared to other glitters/shimmers, which can flake off within a few days. It’s a durable, smooth finish. I worried about drying time which was mentioned in some reviews, but I didn’t have any problem. I can’t wait to try more colors!
