Hi Madison! Kelli will probably explain this much better, but I’ll try- lol! (: “Crellies” (crellys) are polishes that are in-between a jelly and a cream polish. They’re usually a little more pigmented, but they’re more like a cream with a jelly finish. I hope that helped a little!😘💕
I feel like I see a lot of indie brands using crellies with glitter so you are still getting some color but can clearly see the glitter in the polish, too.
I would love to see a video about different finishes! I would like to see a jelly tutorial video. I had never heard about jelly polishes before. Thank you!
Oh wow those jelly tips are amazing I would love to see examples of even more of the things you mentioned using them for. I would never have thought to use them over glitter but that was amazing would love to see the cool gradient with them too. Thank you!!!!
Cheap jellies don't level well, so it's difficult to avoid streaky lines unless you do lots of layers. After only 1 coat at 3:29, the color is fairly even instead of having lines where the brush ran through--that's what you want. Also, a wide brush is the better for jellies bacause it helps get a nice even coat.
I was so confused about this subject. I just found this video (idk how I missed it) but it helped me so much. You're incredible at explaining things. Thank you!!
Sheer and jelly pinks are also great for giving your nails a nice healthy pink. Especially if you want to change the natural color of your nails or want a subtle color.
I never thought of doing a jelly gradient before! I would love to see a tutorial on that! My first jelly polish was a nude that was super sheer. I thought there was something wrong with it and almost threw it away, but I really loved how it looked on my nails. That's what started my love for jelly polishes and even more so when I realized how cool they are with glitter!
Thank you, Kellie Marissa, for uploading this video. I heard a lot about creams and Jellys from you but did not know the difference between both and you have now educated me on this. A Big Thank You ❤
Oh man, I did not know this! So cool, thanks for educating me! I have also found jellies annoying cause I wanted creams. 😅 As for other 101 videos, I would love to hear your tips on what makes a good base coat and/or top coat. Like, how to tell if it's good, if that makes sense. :)
I'm so glad you made this! I realized I have at least one jelly polish. I thought it was just streaky, and it is a bit uneven if I don't shake it between nails, but now I know it's supposed to be sheer.
Darn RUclips!! I was super excited to see you live, but hey, I'll still be super excited to see you live next time ☺ Thanks for this discussion on polishes and the differences in textures. Love it. Thanks Kelli 💕💕
I would love to see more videos about different nail polish types! This was so informative! I didn't know what a Jelly was until I started watching your videos and now I own one! The one that you made with starrily! Thank you for your nail polish 101 videos.
Thank you for the tips. I bought a orange opi jelly on accident and always started with a white base. It never crossed my mind to use glitter. Genius, thank you!
I love the glitter polish you used in your example, what polish is that. I like your St Patrick's Day idea, here I have been buying colored glitter polishes. I just recently bought the Young Nails Caption Polish Jelly set, it was on sale super cheap. Those are amazing polishes, I got a whole week of wear with no chipping at all. Great video as usual. 😊
Cool video to add to your series. Is crelly going to be next? Follows this I suppose. I've seen a lot of people use jellies in stamping nail art, reverse fill in coloring if you will. Thanks for sharing & have a great day today!
Jellys remind me of theatre gels used for stage lighting. They provide color even though the gel is transparent. You can add another color on top or double up to intensify the lighting color. 😉
Pls yes on the different types of polish. What's best for gradients and water marbling and also for stamping.. I love buying nail polish and have maybe 150 bottles but don't know what to do with them or how to do different things. So definitely trying to learn to do nail art
I thought something was, wrong with my phone. So glad to see this video! Jelly polishes are kewl. I saw an ocean design someone did with a blue jelly Polish with fish under the Polish. Very awesome. Thx for the great video Kelli! You look beautiful, as always. XO
Bless you with many many great hair days and at least one moment of bone deep utter satisfaction every day! This video answered so much for me! I am pale af with an orange undertone (the colour picker app called me "Stark White" but it was in the Orange colour family) and have been very diligent in finding JUST the right colours with JUST the right undertones to make me appear less corpselike (not as easy as it sounds) while also being able to achieve vintage looks... and while I found Essie Fifth Avenue to be the PERFECT shade of vermilion that makes my skin glow, recently got Essie Resort Fling and it is the PERFECT shade for my skin and is BEAUTIFUL for 1930s, 1950s and even early 1960s looks, I was at a loss of what to do when it turned out to be streaky... Tart Deco may be ever so slightly off, but its off in a way that would be far more suited for an olive undertone, not me. knowing that its intention was to be more pigmented than sheer, yet still sheer, I can probably do more with it than a regular cream. Im off to go see if you have that video on techniques on uses.
Thanks! Finally I understood the difference between a jelly and a cream, love the 101 series!! Yes to a tutorial, great idea changing a glitter polish like that. You're awesome!
awesome 101. Trust me I too never knew the difference between, Jelly, Sheer, Matte, Creamy matte etc etc. Look forward to any nail art will do. Your work is awesome.
*Kelli tries out new youtube feature* *mass panic* I look forward to seeing it- I miss videos all the time so one way or another I'll catch it eventually :D
Thank you for this, very educational. now I understand what you mean when you say jelly and creme finish lol and now I know what to look for when I go buying polishes. Thank you! 😁👍🏻
Oh wow, Kelli, what polish is that stunning teal colour you used over the glitter at 4:46 ? It's stunning (knowing my luck it's probably discontinued by now!) I'm fairly new to jelly polish, many thanks to you.
Aw...well of course I'd like to see more about this. Lol I do hope you're feeling better. I never understood jelly and cremes either until I started watching you and another lovely lady. You 2 started my nail polish addiction. 😂🤣 Thanks!! Haha Take care!!
OMG!! Kelli, the fun fact that you shared in the end of the video, can so relate to it. I have done the same. I have thrown 2 expensive (gel) nailpolishes as they would never dry up and appeared so translucent. I am still not sure how to work with them. Lately, I check multiple times if it's a gel polish before buying a nail polish. Please please do a video on gel polishes. 💖💖
I'm so happy I was able to watch tonight! I got the notification last night right as RUclips decided to crash 😭. I would love to see some jelly tutorials!
Great video. I'm not a fan of jelly polishes, but yeah, you've made them look cool. In England, jelly is what you call jello. What you call jelly, we call jam. We also have a strained jam (no bits) that is called jelly! We know exactly what we're talking about!!!
Jam and jelly are also the same in the US for that reason (strained out seeds etc or not) and preserves is jelly and jam but like the whole fruit pieces in it. But yeah that's the same here too, how jelly and jam and different but still used. I think they call them "gelly or jelly? But I usually see it marketed as 'gelly gel', anyways- because the consistency is moreso like a jelly, the sheerness, almost sticky wet looking vs cured reg. Gel polishes usually. :)
Jellies are my favorite finish because you can sandwich so many fun things in them. I also fiend over CG's glass flecks (on the rare occasion that they appear these days.) They're totally gorgeous jellies with a fine glittery suspension in them.
hey girlfriend I love your videos I keep my nails painted all the time and I also do nail art sometimes, I find keeping polish on them helps them not to break. Mine are like a sport length and squoval. I will not wear fake nails. I love you girly you rock and you always ook nice. God Bless!
I have a whole rainbow of the opi jelly colours with the silver base and it wasnt called a jelly when i bought them ages ago, and it wasnt until you showed the teal one that a light when off that i have like 7 jellies😅
Thank you, I get it now. I thought jellies were related to the texture. I'd love to see you go through other finishes, particularly crelly. As a glitter fiend and holosexual, I rarely do other finishes cause I don't know what to do with them.
Great explanation! Even for my 60yr old brain! Thank you, I was definitely looking for a more opaque nail color initially so, your info weeded out the “jelly” options and kept me from making an $$ mistake! Thank you SO SO MUCH!!
Thanks for the video, would love to see a video on different ways to use a jelly polish for nail art. I’ve wanted to try doing jelly sandwiches but not sure how to go about it.
I like jelly polishes, but I don't seem to find them to often. Years ago when OPI came out with their Texas collection, I picked up a bottle and it happened to be a jelly formula. Best bottle I have ever owned!
You know that feeling when you see someone on social media and think you guys could be great friends 🤔🤔🤔 yes that! I swear you seem like you'd be such a fun loving friend.
I would love to see a video about the different finishes. Holos Linear holos Cruelly Metallic Shimmers Multi chrome There are so many others I want to know about.
I would love to see you do a jelly gradient!!!
Ooh okay!
Yes yes yes yes! Did this happen??
Please explain crellys lol. I understand it’s a creme and a jelly...but why
Great question, was going to ask if that was going to be the next topic in her Nail 101 series.
Hi Madison! Kelli will probably explain this much better, but I’ll try- lol! (: “Crellies” (crellys) are polishes that are in-between a jelly and a cream polish. They’re usually a little more pigmented, but they’re more like a cream with a jelly finish. I hope that helped a little!😘💕

I would love to see a video about different finishes! I would like to see a jelly tutorial video. I had never heard about jelly polishes before. Thank you!
I can definitely do both!!! :)
Oh wow those jelly tips are amazing I would love to see examples of even more of the things you mentioned using them for. I would never have thought to use them over glitter but that was amazing would love to see the cool gradient with them too. Thank you!!!!
Hey Chris, so glad you found it helpful! I'll definitely do tutorials for jelly art :)
Yesss make a video about finishes !!! I love it when u explain stuff xD
Hehe thank you! Will do!!!
I would Love to see a jelly polish nail art tutorial! And maybe give a list of a few brands that have good jellies???
Sounds like a good idea!!
Really loved this format cuz you actually gave examples too, awesome and def best one I’ve seen like it!!
Wow!! What a cool way to find out which one is jelly and which one isn't 😍😍😲😲 The quick nail art you did was pretty awesome 💖💖
Thank you so much Christon!!!
Wow, glitter under jelly. Great trick Kelli Marissa, I learn a lot from you.
:)
Happy to hear it :)
This was very informative and well put together, thank you!!
Yes I would love to see a Jelly Gradient. Yeah RUclips crashed last Night for like an hour and I realized how lost I would be without my RUclips lol
Haha yeah it was crazy. I was bored too!
I didn’t know jelly nail polish was a thing until a few years ago. I always thought that type of formula was just cheaply made 😂
I’m just finding out in 2022. Lol
I'm just finding out in 2024! Lol
Cheap jellies don't level well, so it's difficult to avoid streaky lines unless you do lots of layers.

Me too!
Yes a video on different type of polishes could be very useful . Very interesting video as usual Kelly ! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it :)
I was so confused about this subject.
I just found this video (idk how I missed it) but it helped me so much. You're incredible at explaining things. Thank you!!
Happy to help!!
Sheer and jelly pinks are also great for giving your nails a nice healthy pink. Especially if you want to change the natural color of your nails or want a subtle color.
Yes I totally agree!!
Yess! Do that video. Show us your favorite unique nail polish!
Oh that sounds so fun!
I never thought of doing a jelly gradient before! I would love to see a tutorial on that!
My first jelly polish was a nude that was super sheer. I thought there was something wrong with it and almost threw it away, but I really loved how it looked on my nails. That's what started my love for jelly polishes and even more so when I realized how cool they are with glitter!
Oh gosh I'm glad you didn't throw it out haha i love a sheer nude!!
Very informative video. Thanks for the hard work and hope you get feeling better soon.
Thank you so much Kris. I'm really glad you liked it!
Thank you, Kellie Marissa, for uploading this video. I heard a lot about creams and Jellys from you but did not know the difference between both and you have now educated me on this. A Big Thank You ❤
I'm so happy you found it helpful Tracie! 😊
Oh man, I did not know this! So cool, thanks for educating me! I have also found jellies annoying cause I wanted creams. 😅

Haha yes that was my biggest problem before I knew about jellies!
Darn RUclips!!
I was super excited to see you live, but hey, I'll still be super excited to see you live next time ☺
Thanks for this discussion on polishes and the differences in textures. Love it. Thanks Kelli 💕💕
Loved this. I would love to see more jelly nail art. And/or what you mentioned in the video about using jelly for a gradient
I would love to see more videos about different nail polish types! This was so informative! I didn't know what a Jelly was until I started watching your videos and now I own one! The one that you made with starrily! Thank you for your nail polish 101 videos.

Okay!
I would love to see you do more of those layering ideas, so cool!
Love to see a follow up on your fav jelly polishes! Especially if mainstream!
Thanks for the tips! I have a few jellies that I bought unknowingly. Now I know what to look for when putchasing and also what to do with them!
Thank you for the tips. I bought a orange opi jelly on accident and always started with a white base. It never crossed my mind to use glitter. Genius, thank you!
Using a white base is a good way to make a jelly into a creme haha!
kelli’s voice soothes my soul
LOL I'm glad you like it.
I would love to see something similar with glitter nail polish vs glitter topper!
Sure! :)
They way your eyes contrast with your hair is so pretty! Also, thanks for posting this video! Super informative
Oh gosh thanks so much Amanda!
I love the glitter polish you used in your example, what polish is that. I like your St Patrick's Day idea, here I have been buying colored glitter polishes. I just recently bought the Young Nails Caption Polish Jelly set, it was on sale super cheap. Those are amazing polishes, I got a whole week of wear with no chipping at all. Great video as usual. 😊
Oh gosh I'm sorry I didn't even remember which polish I used :/ I should keep track for my videos haha!
I'd love to see some jelly nail art!!!
Okay!! :)
have you considered doing a favorites video on jelly/sheer polishes? i've been interested in buying some, but i have no idea where to start
I thought I missed a livestream. Glad to see this video. :) Nail Polish 101 is my favorite. :)
No I just wanted to have a live premiere of this video haha but unfortunately RUclips was down at the time I planned to do it!!
Did you add more blue to your hair? It looks super cute!
Hehe yes I've been slowly going to navy blue!! Thank you!!
Jellies are my favorite! Always loved sheer colors...
They're awesome!!
Cool video to add to your series. Is crelly going to be next? Follows this I suppose. I've seen a lot of people use jellies in stamping nail art, reverse fill in coloring if you will. Thanks for sharing & have a great day today!
Great video. I learn a lot from your channel
I'm so glad to hear that :)
I love these Nail Polish 101 videos. Thank you for them. Love yah!! 🧡🧡

Haha yes that's exactly what they're like!!
I love your videos so much 😍💕

you explained this so well and I love how you showed different ways to use them 😍 x
I'm so happy you found the video helpful!!
I never tried any design with jelly polishes but such a cool idea to put it over a glitter polish😍
You should definitely try it! I love jelly nail art.
GREAT video! Although I already knew the difference, I didn't for the longest time. I
Thanks! Finally I understood the difference between a jelly and a cream, love the 101 series!! Yes to a tutorial, great idea changing a glitter polish like that. You're awesome!
Thanks so much Areli! So glad you found it helpful!
I would love a video about different finishes!
Definitely panicked when RUclips went down. Glad I got to see the video tonight though! This was so useful. Thank you so much for this!!
Haha so annoying that happened right before the dumb premiere!!
I like to know what you perfer jelly or cream. I kinda of like the jelly ones but im still new to it
awesome 101. Trust me I too never knew the difference between, Jelly, Sheer, Matte, Creamy matte etc etc. Look forward to any nail art will do. Your work is awesome.
Awesome video. I would like to see some pond mani ideas. It took me almost a year to realized a crelly polish was a cross of a cream and jelly polish.
Haha yes! I love a good crelly!
Literally obsessed with your hair lol 💛💙
Haha thanks so much!
*Kelli tries out new youtube feature*
*mass panic*
I look forward to seeing it- I miss videos all the time so one way or another I'll catch it eventually :D
Lol whoops! I didn't realize what would happen if I tried the new feature haha! I hope it works tho!
All the finishes would be cool. 😊
Thank you for this, very educational. now I understand what you mean when you say jelly and creme finish lol and now I know what to look for when I go buying polishes. Thank you! 😁👍🏻
Yay I'm glad you found it helpful!
Oh wow, Kelli, what polish is that stunning teal colour you used over the glitter at 4:46 ? It's stunning (knowing my luck it's probably discontinued by now!) I'm fairly new to jelly polish, many thanks to you.
it looks like verdigris jelly from cirque to me
@Meg-iv5ko Thanks
What's the differance between a jelly and a regular polish that's sheer? Or is there a differance?
Nope, no difference! :) A jelly is just what we call regular creme polishes that are sheer.
Ok thanks, I've known what a jelly is but now I know how to tell it apart from regular polish before I use it, thank you 😊
The original jelly was OPI Color Paints. I'll be pulling those old ones out now and try some layering nail art. Thanks for the info!
Yesss I love doing nail art with those!!!
Aw...well of course I'd like to see more about this. Lol I do hope you're feeling better. I never understood jelly and cremes either until I started watching you and another lovely lady. You 2 started my nail polish addiction. 😂🤣 Thanks!! Haha Take care!!
Haha oh gosh well tell your wallet I'm sorry for starting the addiction :P
OMG!! Kelli, the fun fact that you shared in the end of the video, can so relate to it. I have done the same. I have thrown 2 expensive (gel) nailpolishes as they would never dry up and appeared so translucent. I am still not sure how to work with them.

Please please do a video on gel polishes. 💖💖
This was incredibly helpful, thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it Jessica!!
Wow I love your hair here!
Thank you so much 😀
I'm so happy I was able to watch tonight! I got the notification last night right as RUclips decided to crash 😭. I would love to see some jelly tutorials!
Oh man I can't believe it crashed haha glad you got to watch though!
Great video. I'm not a fan of jelly polishes, but yeah, you've made them look cool. In England, jelly is what you call jello. What you call jelly, we call jam. We also have a strained jam (no bits) that is called jelly! We know exactly what we're talking about!!!

Oh yes I'm glad there's another jelly lover out there!!
Do you do tutorials on how you dye your hair that way? I looooove it!!!
I got it done at the salon!
That jelly nail polish is really beautiful, i would love to see more jelly nail polishes.
Love this! Thanks for this video Kelli! This is something that's definitely confused me got quite a while.
Glad I could sort it out for ya haha!
Great video!! Id love to see a jelly gradient.
I can do one!!
I would appreciate if u did a vid on all the polish finishes.
I can do that :)
I’d love to know about crelly polish and see a list of jelly/crelly polishes. I love the way they go on.
I can try to come up with a list!
So interesting ! But how do you differenciate between a jelly that's intentionally sheer and just a bad quality nail polish that happens to be sheer ?
Good information like always ! Have a good day !
Thanks Diane! Xoxoxo!
I would really like a video talking about the different type of polishes. Also the different kind of top coats and base coats
I can do that :)
That's genius for the tell-tales omg :o thanks for sharing!
Glad you found it helpful :)
Wow! Thank you so much! I never knew that there was a difference.
So glad I could help!!
hey girlfriend I love your videos I keep my nails painted all the time and I also do nail art sometimes, I find keeping polish on them helps them not to break. Mine are like a sport length and squoval. I will not wear fake nails. I love you girly you rock and you always ook nice. God Bless!

Can you do a tutorial on jellies over magnetic polishes? Thank you
Great explanation! Even for my 60yr old brain! Thank you, I was definitely looking for a more opaque nail color initially so, your info weeded out the “jelly” options and kept me from making an $$ mistake! Thank you SO SO MUCH!!
I'm glad you found it to be helpful Emily! 💜 It's always confusing when they don't label the formulas haha!
Thanks for the video, would love to see a video on different ways to use a jelly polish for nail art. I’ve wanted to try doing jelly sandwiches but not sure how to go about it.
Oh they're so fun! I can do a video on them!
📖📚📖 You are a true educator. This one of the reasons why I recently subscribed. Thank you, Thank you 😎
Kelli , I need a good Black jelly polish , what would you recommend?
I like jelly polishes, but I don't seem to find them to often. Years ago when OPI came out with their Texas collection, I picked up a bottle and it happened to be a jelly formula. Best bottle I have ever owned!
I love this but please tell me the type of polish that is very good for nails art designs
Thank you, someone finally explained it.
Haha happy to help!!
You know that feeling when you see someone on social media and think you guys could be great friends 🤔🤔🤔 yes that! I swear you seem like you'd be such a fun loving friend.
Haha thanks so much Amber! ❤️😜 I think I'm pretty fun 💁🏻♀️
I would love to see a video about the different finishes.
Holos
Linear holos
Cruelly
Metallic
Shimmers
Multi chrome
There are so many others I want to know about.
I can do that! :)
Ahhhh!! I have a planning bell right now and was like, new video!! In seven hours. LOL 😂
Lol yeeaaaah I think I put it up waaay too early!
Kelli Marissa **reminder on** I’m excited for this one!
