It took longer to dry than normal essie polishes,the color is nice

Hi there! We're so glad you love the shade in the Art Studio Special Effects Vegan Nail Polish. We understand that the drying time was longer than expected, and we apologize for that inconvenience. We suggest applying thin coats and allowing each layer to dry completely before applying the next can help speed up the process. As well as using a quick-dry top coat can also significantly reduce drying time. We hope that you give it a another try and love your results.
Love the pink iridescent!

I love the affect that gives my nails on top of a neutral nail polish. I try a few different colors from dark pink to grey and I feel neutral beige or light pink works best for my medium to tan skin tone. Removing takes a while so be patient, it will come off. Pictures shows 1 coat so it’s very light but good enough to see the iridescent affect.
Love!

The Mystic Marine is so gorgeous! It gives a beautiful shine to any color. I used it over the Essie quick dry in the Buns Up shade.

Perfect shade to top blue and purple polishes. I paired ethereal escape with Essie’s step out of line & I’m obsessed with the shimmer and holographic like effects.
So beautiful

Photos doesn’t do it justice, it shimmers in different colors when viewed from different angles. I apply it over my diy manicures and it instantly makes them look magical.
Warning!! Not the color you see.

Misleading! This isn’t a color. It’s a topcoat with a small amount of shine. I wanted the chrome/silver that it looks like. Ridiculous waste of money.

Hi there, We wish you could see the results you were hoping for with the color you purchased. The Special Effects are sheer and made for layering over your favorite nail color or used on bare nails for a subtle pop of color. However, we appreciate knowing you would like a rich chrome color!

Stunning! Spreads evenly and great coverage in just one coat. I used on top of a black polish to gain a dark purpley/blue shimmer. Perfect for a mermaid look. I’ve received so many compliments.

I was hoping that Cosmic Chrome would be a more opaque silver, but it is so transparent that it took 4 coats to even start to hide the details of my nails. I will use this with a base coat in an opaque color next time. Other than that, its just regular nail polish so it smells like nail polish and removes like nail polish. There is nothing else about this that is noteworthy really. I'm glad it is vegan but it has no effect on the formula.

So cute! I love the color. Had a hard time deciding between pink or purple. Got the pink and it’s the perfect jelly nail polish. I only did one coat and then put on the OPI Infinite Shine top coat.
Okay, but Expensive

Pretty, but wish it was as pretty on as it was in the bottle. I was a little underweight. Also I feel like it is expensive for what you get.

More sheer than I'd like, can only do over other colors, but ethereal escape sure is beautiful! I love it on my toes, it reminds me of a mermaid.

Ethereal Escape is so pretty on top of Essie Lilac!!! Definitely very ethereal vibes and very iridescent in person. By itself though it doesnt have “color” so it needs to be layered on top of a colored base. I did two layers of lilac, one layer of ethereal escape, and gel contour top coat to achieve this look.
