I noticed the majority of the positive reviews are from a product promotion. Here’s a review from someone who didn’t get this for free: don’t waste your money, or at least not on the Cosmic Chrome color. It chips within a day, with or without a base/top coat, whether I wear it alone or layer it on top of another color. I an being generous by rating it 2 stars because the effect is actually really pretty and the formula goes on smoothly and streak-free. Other than that, do not ruin a good manicure with this polish that’s more sensitive than an eggshell.

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!

Not the same Essie i ised to know and love

I feel like Essie has changed something about their polishes. They seem a bit thicker. I feel like the brush drags the color and leaves streaks. They don’t dry as fast and stay tacky for way longer than I have time for. Super disappointing. Essie has been my go to for years.

Gilded galaxy

It took longer to dry than normal essie polishes,the color is nice
1 reply from Essie Team team - 6 months ago
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.

Good quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] love this nail polish! The color is rich and vibrant, and it goes on super smooth with no streaks. It dries quickly and lasts about a week without chipping, even without a top coat. The brush makes application easy and precise, and the finish is glossy like a gel manicure. I’ve gotten so many compliments since wearing it. Definitely one of the best polishes I’ve tried, plus great quality for the price!

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.

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.
1 reply from Essie Team team - 1 year ago
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!

Wish it were opaque

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.

Cute!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As you can see from the picture it would be lovely on top of a nice, green or blue nail polish. I think by itself it’s pretty but I personally would wear as a top coat for another color. Very mermaid and summer-y vibes!
