Essie NEW Jelly Gloss Line! - Janixa - Nail Lacquer Therapy

[@maggiemay70]

Thank you Janixa for the quick swatching session. I like these just because I happen to like Jellies. Pet peeve: they are $13.00 a pop which is way too much for a mainstream polish! I think I'll hold off.

[@rescueferret8834]

It's cheaper than cirque jellies if you look at price by volume!

[@naillacquertherapy]

I don’t blame you.

[@JadenYukifan28]

​@@naillacquertherapyI have Essie Polishes, but no Jellies. I'd so buy them if they weren't $13.

[@hawktalon7890]

Yeah, all the jellies/sheers I own are discount Orly or random brands from the dollar store.

[@lillyfoot19]

The black reminds me of black tights! Could do some lace or a cute bow. Great for Jelly sandwiches. I think the black and the white jelly are my favorites. The apricot is cute too, but I have something like it.

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@jamiethomas7298]

I like the black as well. I wouldn’t want it to be total coverage though. The apricot is my fav.

[@Anna-rl5mj]

Love the cactus jelly! Can't wait to see the special effects top coats, it's nice that these are available in the UK too!

[@naillacquertherapy]

Yes! I think you guys got them first!

[@toxxicx]

Black jellies are good as bases for darker polishes or magnetics

[@jen8778]

Happy to see more jellies from Essie! I loved their Glazed Days collection from some years ago, and really wished they'd bring that one back. It was so vibrant and fun. I liked a lot of these (saw a few Cirque dupes in this line-up...) with Orchid, Cactus, and Blush being my favorites. Really looking forward to seeing you swatch the effect toppers, I'm excited about those ☺

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@missmariamel520]

Yes!! The Ink jelly is exactly what I need for nail art, the orly black jelly ended up being too opaque for what I needed. I’m so happy because I couldn’t recreate the look I wanted unless I used gel and I can’t commit to gel 😂 thank you for sharing!

[@naillacquertherapy]

Yay!!!

[@LisaJensen-fg6jg]

Wow! I wasn't expecting to like these, but I actually like almost all of them!! 😍 Thank you Essie & Janixa!! ( Have a blessed Easter.)

[@naillacquertherapy]

Happy Easter!

[@lindseyn3413]

the green one is amazing. just used it today for the first time. it’s like a vintage glass jade color.

[@naillacquertherapy]

💚💚💚

[@Damanique]

I was hoping someone would review those when I saw them pop up in a stockists' webshop! The most important thing about jellies is that they are even and not patchy to really have that perfect sheer wash you can layer with other colors or special effect toppers for a jelly sandwich look. They also can't be too opaque otherwise it's more of a crelly and you can't really use them for nail art with sandwiching. Arctic Jelly looks great! I've been looking for a good pure white jelly since I only have Cirque's Linen which is more beige.

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@agata10040]

Thank you. Got the arctic white as I like milky finish

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@catsofastypalea]

Very pretty. I totally agree with hanging out for a neon collection!! That would be awesome. Love brights 🥰👍🏻

[@naillacquertherapy]

🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@negritazuyelin]

I did love most of these but I am a big fan of jelly sandwiches so these give me so many options!! I will totally look for them!! The white I think was my favorite

[@naillacquertherapy]

These are great for jelly sandwiches!

[@chisanainoris5364]

Nice to see jellies from a main line!

[@naillacquertherapy]

Always!

[@paulastrong7571]

The blue and pink are my favorites.

[@karenwillis3617]

I love some of these. I watched a video that swatched the special effects with these and they made such gorgeous combos.

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@rinel.harild5685]

Black jellies are good for lace stamping, I think

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@LoraCarter-ob7cm]

I’ve been looking for a black jelly exactly like this. Perfect for black lace nail art! I have to see if this is still available. Thank you so much for your reviews! 🥰

[@moonbeammimi]

Great video!

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@lisapierce525]

Pretty collection. I love the white and purple best but I like all of them, except the black. Thanks Janixa!

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@prettypurplepolishes]

Thank you for swatching these! I’m so excited about them!!

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@flaggov6949]

The ink jelly is my favorite. I'd use it so much around Halloween and New Years. Imagine sandwiching a few stamped ghosts and bat's on each layer (or spiders and webs or fireworks), it'd really add to the illusion of depth 👻.

[@nailsbystrawberrymilk]

Blush Jelly is definitely my favorite, loved your swatches!🙂

[@naillacquertherapy]

Thank you! 💜

[@agatabg]

Wish the price was not that, but I still like them. So many options with these! Great job Essie! Thank you Janixa...!

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@MakeupAgain561]

First-look how gorgeous your skin looks! You are so pretty!❤ Blush Jelly (but it’s not sheer enough for me), Ink Jelly (I really love this one!) Arctic Jelly, Orchid Jelly (best in one coat) Buttercup (two coats max for me), Sky Jelly, Cactus Jelly and Apricot Jelly are my favorites. The Ink Jelly is my absolute favorite 😂 Thank you so much for your beautiful swatches 💃🏿

[@naillacquertherapy]

Thank you so much! 💜

[@georgiastewart4479]

Shared. I like Cheeky, pink, cactus and apricot. Thanks for showing them 💅💗

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@swennihan41188]

Ahhh!! So excited. I've been waiting to see you do these polishes. ❤

[@swennihan41188]

I was really hoping the black jelly would be good. 😢 Do you have a recommendation for a good black jelly?

[@naillacquertherapy]

I don’t. 😕

[@swennihan41188]

​@naillacquertherapy thank you anyways. ❤❤

[@Nolmarie1]

Oh yesss I like them ❤❤

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@ari_5764]

In the UK these jellies are only £8.99! Same with the special effects line. I wonder why they are so expensive in the US?

[@naillacquertherapy]

$9 would have been great!

[@MrAngelboy11]

Apricot jelly is my favorite!!!! 😁😁😁

[@naillacquertherapy]

It’s pretty!

[@elizabethr4107]

Tyyyyyy! Love yr swatching videos ❤

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@WIPsandKits]

I LOVE these! Love the squishy, shiny look! XOXO Heidi

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@Krappybutkutenailart]

😊😊😊 all of them are so pretty!!! I do own the NSFW jelly and I love to sandwich with it but I’m loving the white, butter and sky jelly!!!! Ugh I need them! Apricot is so good too I would like to see a comparison with saffron jelly from cirque! Thank you for the video!!! 🎉

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@chisanainoris5364]

Yesss neons!!

[@naillacquertherapy]

Yes please!!!

[@rachel820]

I definitely liked most of them. I really like Essie. What base coat do you use for the Essie polishes? They tend to chip on me.

[@naillacquertherapy]

I’ve been using Seche Clear.

[@rachel820]

Thank you very much. I'll give that a try. Thank you.

[@judithhershkowitz7093]

You look beautiful in this video! I'm not sure how I feel about jellies- often times they make your free edge look dirty, esp with yellows. I'm with you- bring on the neons and brights.

[@naillacquertherapy]

Thank you! 💜

[@jwlundgren]

I actually like the black and off white.

[@saragillihan484]

I like the Orchid and Cactus jellies. I won't pay $13 for a straight jelly. They are so cheap to make!

[@naillacquertherapy]

They are!

[@lexyluwho]

I know Essie is an incredibly popular brand, but it’s never really been a favorite of mine. However, these jellies are beautiful!

[@naillacquertherapy]

They’re my favorite but they were also the first brand I ever tried lol

[@cassiebozeman2599]

I’m not sure what Essie was thinking with the ink jelly - they should have named it nail infection 🤦🏻‍♀️ ew lol. Maybe good for nail art but not sure for what else. Thank you for this video bc I love jelly polishes so I was curious about these. But would love to see a swatch as opposed to paying for an overpriced polish just to find out what it looks like. Curious about their other new ones too!

[@tabularasa]

Cirque's are 12.50 for 11ml, so 13 for 13.5ml is just a bit cheaper. The formulas look nice, but most are more of a milky jelly, not a true transparent jelly, I think? I am pleased to see this video because I got into nail polish late last year, but I've only tried jellies a couple weeks ago (a few from Cirque). After trying many different formulas for months, I think I finally found what I love-- juicy squishy color sandwiched with glitters like bright jewels 💎 😊 So fun. So I'm glad to learn that a mainstream brand does jelly formula, but is it available in brick and mortar stores? I like Orchid and Sky

[@naillacquertherapy]

They may be available in store at Ulta soon.

[@blueangels8103]

Not a bad collection. I my add some colors to my collection.

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@micha7895]

Nice to see you. What work/job are you doing?

[@naillacquertherapy]

I work in a small office!

[@ashe323d7]

Does normal nail polish remover work?

[@naillacquertherapy]

Yes

[@beckyschmidt8347]

So excited to see these, but not excited for the price point. Orchid and Sky jelly were super pretty though...

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@LizCowanSC]

The black looks great for nail art! These are actually more expensive than the Cirque Colors jellies which are hand mixed! That is not right! 😠

[@naillacquertherapy]

🙁

[@michellebowen8824]

I wish they would have done brighter summery colors.

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@MoodysMood-lt6wh]

Nice overall. Didn’t care for the black or yellow. 🤷🏽‍♀️Thanks for reviewing!

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@RavenNicole89]

I actually like jelly polishes but especially when they have different sized glitters. These colors aren’t for me, a little too pastel/muted.

[@lilacchocolate]

Cute! Although jellies aren't really my cup of tea...so it's a pass for me 😅

[@naillacquertherapy]

I get it!

[@vinoto]

The pricing is outta hand. Especially since you can easily replicate all of these with a drop of color polish is a bottle of top coat

[@naillacquertherapy]

💜💜💜

[@eatlocal123]

😟 it’s so expensive. Maybe I can get them on sale eventually.

[@naillacquertherapy]

🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@sleepystrugglz4586]

I love myself some great jellies, and the purple and green polishes are so my jam! But at $13.00 a bottle, no thank you. I expect to pay that for great, hand-crafted indie polishes made with higher-quality ingredients, but not for mainstream brands. I get that there's a price bump when shopping at Ulta, but Essie's decision to move away from professional nail suppliers to exclusive deals with mostly Ulta and some at Target has kinda turned me away from the brand.

[@tabularasa]

That's interesting, is that the only way these are available? I'm just discovering jellies

[@naillacquertherapy]

I hate that they did that too. Now it’s almost impossible to find Essie’s at a discount.

[@pastelveon]

tbh I expected these to be a bit cheaper, but $13 for a 13.5ml bottle isn't too bad 😅

[@naillacquertherapy]

No it’s not horrible. Only hurts a little lol

[@michellevines7978]

Did Essie's prices go up?

[@naillacquertherapy]

Essie’s are about $10. These are priced differently than the regular line.

[@CarmR-us3he]

Blush Jelly and Arctic Jelly are my favourite, but at that price I may just pass. That "black" jelly is an epic fail.

[@naillacquertherapy]

I was surprised by that one.

[@mw1151]

Not a fan of jellies. I'll skip these, though I'm looking forward to seeing the summer collection!!

[@naillacquertherapy]

Coming this week!

[@aquariaaustin2077]

Meh. They're okay, but three coats at that price point is annoying.

[@bluecobaltsteph2689]

$13?????? For a dollar more I can get cremes from holo taco and I think some kb shimmers are less!!!!

[@bluecobaltsteph2689]

I would say I could use CVS extrabucks on it but they usually don’t get the seasonal collections.

[@naillacquertherapy]

Yeah I’m not in love with the price.

[@ChungthuyPham]

Do you not know what jelly is. The black is a perfect jelly finish 😭

[@naillacquertherapy]

I know what a jelly is. The black is streaky. Do you know that a streaky jelly isn’t good? Other brands have black jellies that aren’t streaky.

[@joycejohnson8502]

Black jellies don’t make any sense to me ❤ whereas Arctic Jelly is amazing.

[@naillacquertherapy]
