Leap Light Year

Leap Light Year Nail Lacquer ($10.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.)is described as a "bright, squishy cherry red jelly, silver squares in two different sizes and smaller silver hexes." It's a brightened, pinky-red jelly base with silver-hued, square-shaped glitters in medium and small size, plus small silver hexagon-shaped glitters. The brand applied three thin coats in their preview swatches, so I followed suit on my ringer finger and did two more medium coats on the rest of my nails, and a third coat would give you a squishier look, though opacity is still very much as expected for a jelly with two regular coats--slightly translucent with good glitter dispersion and coverage. It looks a bit pinker, whereas it becomes a juicier red with three thin coats. Neither of these are dupes, but they were the closest that I could think of: L'Oreal The Queen's Might doesn't have glitter and isn't a jelly (but it has a similar pink-red coloring) and Cult Nails Captivated has gold glitter. See comparison swatches.
