The Superheroes trend edition from Essence is long gone, and replaced by others quite a few times by now. But every now and then I see a post about one of the polishes from the collection (which I had a hard time finding, by the way. It was always sold out! In several cities!)
Here's the one I have tried on today: 06 The Awesome
I have never tried a jelly-based nail polish prior to this one, so I had no idea what to expect application-wise, and there's so much you can experience from reading about it on the web.

| One layer of polish |
The application was tricky. It felt gooey even though it was a brand new polish. I read somewhere that jelly-based polishes tend to feel that way, so I just shrugged it off and continued painting my nails.

| Two layers of polish, no top coat |
At two layers things were looking better. I decided to skip a third layer because that would just feel too thick for me. But now I think I should have gone for it.

| Two layers of polish, with top coat |
I added a top coat in the end. And that just made the whole thing look so much better! Yes, the polish is a bit on the sheer side, but I probably would've gotten a more opaque result with a third layer, which I decided to skip. But all-in-all I really like this polish. It gives me a feel of fancy, elegant, and playful at the same time.
Have you tried this polish from the Essence Superheroes trend edition? What's your opinion about it?
Until next time!
