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 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.

Hi there bree! We are sad to hear that you did not like the color results you had with the Art Studio Special Effects Vegan Nail Polish in the Cosmic Chrome shade. We will share this information with our production and development teams, and we hope that you will continue to try and use our products in the future with satisfaction.
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!
Wanted to love!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was not a fan of how this color dried. To me it didn’t look much like how it appeared in the bottle. Would love if it was less sheer and more opaque. Wanted to love.

Hello kaylees112! We are so sorry to hear you were disappointed in the results from the nail art studio special effects topper in the color 'mystic marine'. We appreciate knowing you would love this sheer topper in a more opaque version to wear alone. To get a popping opaque result, use this on top of a similar base color like 'mint candy apple'. https://www.essie.com/nail-polish/enamel/greens/mint-candy-apple
So cute!

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.

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.
