Overview

Brushing on one coat of Arctic Jelly gives a sheer white wash, and layering more builds a milky manicure. essie made it for nail art, so it also blends with other shades to shift their tone.

Flexibility leads: one bottle gives a sheer tint, a milky finish or a tone-shifting layer. Translucent jelly needs several coats to look even, and the listing gives no wear claim.

Who it's for

Nail art fans and anyone chasing a soft milky manicure at home get a buildable jelly. People who want crisp, opaque color fast should choose a cream polish.
