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.

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!

I dunno what I was expecting but it’s not supposed to be a color like I thought it’s more like a layer and it does look nice on blue
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.

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.

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.

I usually really love Essie polish, espicall any with glitter bc they are so attention grabbing. But Cosmic Chrome is a major disappointment. I have tried it with a variety of base nail color, plain, iridicient, pastel, and just a base coat, it really doesn't show up. And when it does it is just a thin layer of silver (very pretty), nothing chrome about it. It is very smooth and easy to apply, but it doesn't seem to help with chrome's opacness. And if there are any specific technique about using this, I wish it is more readily available bc I cannot figure it out and I have done a lot of nail arts in my time.

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.
Color is great, but doesnt dry well

Lovely color. Disappointed in how poorly it dries. I live in a dry climate. Have tried waiting at least 10 minutes between thin coats, but it still bubbles when I put on the top coat. It does last a long time once it does finally drive.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a shiny and fun color and pairs well with almost any other color I have. It’s buildable so you can get a subtle shine with one coat or a really shimmery shine with 2-3 coats
