This was not my favorite shade by Essie. As you can see by the photo it is quite translucent. This was after 2 coats and it is still pretty opaque. It also bubbled a little bit after applying the second coat.

Orchid Jelly is sooo pretty! It is a nice muted lilac color, not quite as warm as the website shows. In my photo I put on two coats, and it has the perfect translucent jelly look. One coat would be great for overlaying other colors but two coats is beautiful on its own. Super easy to apply. The polish is so smooth and the color lays very evenly, it's not patchy like other jelly polishes can be. It's a thinner polish so it dries by the time you move onto your second coat. I've had it on for about 4 days now and there's only one small chip which is pretty good!

First of all the color is super nice! Very easy to apply, I applied two coats to get the color, but I think three coats should have been better to see the color. It is definitely glossier than other nail polishes. I wish it would have stayed longer on my nails.

This is a nice purple jelly nail polish. I used it this week with a glitter in between, to do a jelly sandwich. And it looks really good. The polish lasts for a good amount of time just like any other Essie brand polish.

Another lovely pastel color for summer. It has a jelly texture but applies evenly. One coat, two coats, or three coats produce different effects, but they're all pretty in their own way, in my opinion. Additionally, it's very glossy and dries super quickly. In the picture, I applied 2 coats and with no clear topcoat.

This Essie Orchid Jelly was a super cute muted lavender color. It was super easy to apply and went on smoothly. It dried in just a few minutes flat. I loved that this polish didn't have a strong chemical smell like some other polishes do. Make sure to prep and prime your nails well beforehand to get this polish to last longer. If you do that, it'll last for over a week and won't chip or peel off easily. You will have to apply several coats to get a decent non translucent color. When it was time to remove, it only took a few minutes to soak off nothing extraordinary.

I love the brand Essie so much although I did not love the way this color looked on me. The scent is not too strong and drying time is great. I'd say the only downside is the color.

Thank you Influenster for letting me review this nail jelly. I've never used a nail jelly before and this was a great polish. Orchid Jelly is a beautiful purple perfect for spring. 1 coat is really sheer but 2 coats is perfect and almost opaque. It is nice and milky.

The color is so pretty! Great Spring colored nail polish. It goes on easy and is easy to build. The dry time seems pretty standard. It lasts a little longer than normal polish but my nails chip easily.

Was super excited trying those nail polishes!! The moment I tried them they amazing has that nice glaze donut look and it dries super fast and the packaging of it was nice too
