essie Sheer White Jelly Nail Polish Arctic Jelly — Vegan, Buildable Glossy Finish 0.46 fl oz

essie Nail Art Studio Jelly Gloss Polish in Arctic Jelly is a buildable sheer-white, vegan formula that creates a glossy, translucent manicure perfect for layering or a milky-glaze finish.

This jelly gloss delivers a translucent, glassy look that works alone or as a base for nail art. The Arctic Jelly shade reads as a soft white with subtle warm undertones, giving nails a juicy, lit-from-within appearance. The easy-glide brush makes application smooth and even, so you can achieve professional-looking results at home without streaks or uneven coverage. Designed for creativity, the formula responds well to multiple thin coats and pairs beautifully with other essie shades for custom effects.

How does Arctic Jelly create a jelly finish on nails?

The polish is formulated to be sheer but buildable, producing that characteristic depth and translucence of a jelly manicure. Thin layers are translucent and glossy, while repeated coats increase opacity and richness without becoming thick or clumpy.

• Sheer base that becomes richer with each thin coat
• Glossy, light-catching finish that looks glass-like on nails
• Formulated to lay down evenly for consistent translucence

Can I use this polish for layered nail art or a milky manicure?

Yes—Arctic Jelly is built for layering. Use one translucent coat for a subtle wash, several coats for a creamy milky effect, or stack it over other colors to soften and blur tones for a custom shade.

• Wear single coat for a delicate, natural wash of white
• Add 2–3 coats for a luscious milky finish with more coverage
• Layer over other essie shades to mute or mix tones and create depth

What makes the brush and application different from other polishes?

essie’s exclusive easy-glide brush is shaped to fit a range of nail widths, helping you paint faster and with fewer strokes. The brush deposits polish smoothly for streak-free coverage and better control when building translucent layers.

• Wide but flexible brush head adapts to nail size for even strokes
• Designed to reduce streaks and pooling at cuticles
• Helps apply thin, controlled layers ideal for a jelly finish

Is this formula vegan and suitable for at-home nail art?

essie Nail Art Studio polishes are vegan and created for DIY nail design. The formula contains no animal-derived ingredients and supports creative at-home techniques, from simple glazes to multi-layered art looks.

• Vegan formula without animal-derived ingredients
• Works well with stamping, layering, and freehand designs
• Part of essie Nail Art Studio collection for at-home creativity

Who is this for? Arctic Jelly is ideal for anyone who prefers a soft, modern white polish that can be as subtle or as vivid as you like. It suits minimalists wanting a barely-there hint of color, nail-art lovers who build depth with layers, and at-home users who want salon-quality application from a reliable brush. If you enjoy customizing your manicure—mixing, layering, or creating milky-gloss effects—this translucent, vegan essie polish is tailored to your routine.
