Cirque Colors Amber 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!!!

Such a pretty pink! This is two coats the of Hearth Jelly polish. One coat left the nails looking a natural sheer pink but the second coat really elevated it. The price may seem quite steep but I think it’s worth it for the quality and pretty color.

Beautiful color but does not last long.

I bought 'Peach Jelly'. It is as you see in the picture. Sheer, little too Red Coral for me. So I'm getting 'Rose Pink Jelly' and try mixing it.

The color is amazing and it lasts up to a week or more with proper care. I LOVE the tone and the ability to control how sheer it is. I have lime jelly, cobalt jelly, and flushed jelly. All BEAUTIFUL colors and EXACTLY what I was looking for! Steps to make it last: 1) dry your nail beds with acetone or alcohol 2) apply color at preferred strength and sheerness 3) add a really good topcoat... I use Kur's gel genius top coat. It is AMAZING. 4) apply nail oil after letting dry for about 10 minutes 5) wash hands gently under cold water

I liked this polish because it was not so harsh on my nail bed like gels are. The color was very nice, but I had to use three coats to get the color saturation to show through.

earned that apparently cirque photoshops their polishes, so I could have done more research before spending my money on this product. The best I can describe the color is like ketchup. When spread thinly, it looks orange, but with more layers it looks like a dark brownish red--not bright primary red like the pictures suggest. I should add that the pictures used for the amazon listing are the same as the ones on cirque's website. It is a nice enough formula, it just sucks that I really don't like the color at all. I actually hate fall colors lmao. The best advice I can give is to look up swatches online if you are considering buying a polish from them. R/Laqueristas is a great source, but also look up reviews on youtube and nail influencers on Instagram. I know that I will be more careful from now on. I was hesitant to give a low rating for this polish, since it isn't bad quality, but hopefully this will increase the visibility so more people are aware of cirque's shenanigans. This really is a bummer, because there are actually a lot of people out there who would really like this color, but because the photos are an inaccurate representation, those people might not buy it, and the people who want the color in the photos will be disappointed.

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.
