Cirque Colors Aqua Jelly

I LOVE this jelly polish! The formula is so easy to apply: no streaks, no pooling, no flooded cuticles, just a pretty color and a glossy finish! While it is a little transparent (you can see where my nail meets my finger even after 3 coats), the sheerness is invisible from a distance and not an issue for me. I find the application ease to be so much more important than opacity. I’ve used this three times now, and I’ve gotten a SOLID 5 days out of each manicure, no chips! And a full 7 days with minor chips. I use it on top of an OPI base coat and with either an OPI gel-like top coat or a Seche quick dry top coat. Finally, the brush is fantastic. It’s the perfect wide, round shape to make application easy, fitting my nail bed just right. Overall a fantastic polish, I’ve gone back and bought many more shades!!!

Gorgeous color and coverage. A perfect jelly. Nice hard finish and you can build the coverage up. This is 2-3 coats

Very good quality. Doesn't peel easily, lasts two weeks before I need to touch up and even then it's mostly because of new growth. The peach color is perfect for my skin tone; I'm neutral warm, pale, with a slightly yellow overtone. It practically perfectly matches the color of the pads of my fingers, maaaaybe 0.001 shades lighter. The finish is very jelly, and it applies evenly, not streaky at all. If only the shipping was cheaper this would be my signature shade.

It's not bad polish. I'm just not familiar with jelly colors. 3 coats and it's a pretty, but semi-sheer raspberry gloss for nails. This pink was ok, I might use it for my toes one day if the pedicure place isn't too busy for 3 coats. But I also bought a dark color and it's completely sheer. So that was my foray into jelly nails. It reminds me of that barbie nail polish from childhood. Not for me but someone will like it.

Finally a true red jelly! I’ve purchased 3 other jellies from different indie brands and all of them pull more pink than red but this doesn’t! I did two coats with a quick dry top coat.

This review is for Peach Jelly. I knew to expect sheer going in. I wanted sheer. But this is way too sheer. I had to do 5 coats to get this effect. 3 normal ones and 2 thick ones. I expected it to be more buildable. That said, it’s VERY good quality. No streaking and quick drying. There is an hour long video on YouTube of a girl swatching every single jelly color by cirque, and I should have watched it before buying. I might try again in a different color in the future because I really do love the finish, and pretty much everything about the quality.

Purchased this for a project. Perfect for nail art. Beautiful on its own or for layering.

I ordered the Rose Jelly because it had a nice pinky glow in the photos. As you can see, it’s a super light cool nude instead. That being said, I love it! It wasn't what I was expecting but it turned out gorgeous. It applies smooth and easy. The finish is glossy and elegant. The color is pretty close to my skintone. It looks extremely classy and pretty!
