Please never stop making Article Jelly. It is the perfect color white. The only thing that would make it better if possible is to come out with it in my favorite Gel Couture!

Pale and transparent
5 months ago
I always do my nails at home and I was excited to try this nail polish from Essie, even I like it, the color is very pale and transparent, so if you are into a more natural nail style, this is a good one for it. The texture allows an easy application and fast drying.

Hey there robotthecat, we are so sorry to hear this color did not perform as it should! It is so frustrating when you love the shade but the formula just won’t cooperate. Since you’ve already tried it with a base and top coat, it sounds like this specific bottle of our special effects multi-dimensional pearl might not be performing up to our high standards! Please reach out to our Consumer Care team. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Love how nicely this goes on, no smudge and very elegant. Very pigmented only needed two coats, the value is great and it doesn’t look clumpy very smooth going on and dries nicely

Of the three colors this was the least favorite.
8 months ago
Wife wasn’t to big on this particular color. Definitely was her last choice when she used the three colors. It didn’t have much of a scent. And dry time wasn’t to long but still not her favorite one.

Faster drying than most jelly polishes & chic!
8 months ago
Wow! This jelly polishes dries faster than most Essie polishes and layers well. It’s super shiny before the topcoat and makes my skin look tan without being too pastey of a white. The brush size is just right for application and made it easy to keep my cuticles clean. I found that it wore for 7+ days. I’m excited to keep wearing this! You can see 1 coat on the left & 2 coats on the right side of my thumb for comparison of coverage.
