Jelly/Glass Perfection

7 months ago
I have been looking to do a jelly nail polish but there isn’t much nail companies that do that without needing curing. I also wanted to do them myself. Down the rabbit hole I went and found Essie’s new glass-like polishes. I like berry/red tones so this Half Full color was perfect. I did 3 layers, I definitely put a color grip base first and then the polish over it and it was perfect. The color pops and also has that jelly/glass look! I love it!
