The Nail Junkie Apple Jelly Shimmer - Swatches and Review

I have a lovely jelly for you tonight! Before I get into polish talk I have to thank my friend Ana, who sent me this as a very sweet gift. Thanks Ana! ♥

I will admit that jellies aren't usually my favorite but they are growing on me! I really love the shiny and squishy look of them. The only reason I tend to stay away from them is the fact that they are usually very sheer. I have very stained nails and if a polish is too sheer you can see through the polish and see the nail. Not an attractive look. At all.  But this one was fairly opaque.

Apple Jelly is a neon green jelly with subtle green and holographic shimmer. I love it!! It was sheer but not overly sheer. I used 3 coats in the photos and as you can see there is still VNL (visible nail line) but you can't see my actual nail so I am okay with the VNL.

The following is 3 coats and no top coat. I have taken the pics in various lighting - neons are very hard for me to photograph. I will specify under the photo which lighting each photo as taken in.
