Review: Drys fast and thin! - The polish is cute, but I don't think I'll be purchasing another one because the color isnt for me but if it was another color I’d def get it again. PROS: - Drys fast! I set a timrer for 5 minutes, and after that it wouldn't budge. I did also poke it after around a minute and it was already hard. - Liquidy, it isn't goopy at all and application isn't too hard. - Application was very easy. - Pigment, very pigmented - If you put more than 2 layers it doesn’t chip (I’m wearing two layers and it hasn’t chipped in four days) CONS: - The picture I posted was two coats of thin application. It's not as jelly/translucent as it seemed online. - One layer is jelly. Two layers is pretty opaque. If you stare close enough you’ll realize this is jelly but by the third it just looks like a creme polish. Note: for people wanting the viral jelly gel look, your’e looking for “syrup jelly liquid polish”. You won’t really get that look with this polish if you do more than one coat.
Review: Great Color - Gorgeous color! If you are feeling nostalgic and looking for a color similar to cotton candy (from the 90s); this fits the bill with 2 coats.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unique color

Purchased Ethereal Escape to use over dark berry “Berry Naughty” from Essie and it literally looks like a unique discontinued limited edition polish from BKL, or like Backspaced by Cracked Lacquers. Beautiful topper
