expressie Quick-Dry Vegan Nail Polish, Not So Low-Key, Blackened Burgundy, 0.33 Ounce

Second Hand First Love is a really nice color. It’s a neutral that will go with most other colors. It’s not the vibrant pink displayed, but does lean more pink when seen in natural light (outside). Inside, it reads more pinky-beige. Dries fairly quickly. It takes more than 1 minute, but no more than 5 minutes which is drastically quicker than regular polish. The polish I received is fresh - not extremely thin and not thick. It’s the sweet spot in between that goes on very smoothly. Coverage is good. For a lighter color, two coats did the trick. It also has a nice shine. My pictures show only the polish, no top coat. I’ve used Essie Expressive Nail Polish for years and love it.

Superb quality! Easy application, opaque color, long wearing and super fast drying! I need to order more from this "expressie" line. I'm just now discovering it.

this is my first time try this brand. It was really nice color, quick dry and I really like the applicator. Easy to use and it lasted for more than a week for me. The coverage also really good, 2 times or layering is enough for me. Like is thick enough

A beautiful color for Summer! Goes on smooth and dries very fast. No clumping or streaks. I used 2 coats and 2 coats of fast dry top coat and it only lasted about a week. I'll keep using it because I like the color and the fast dry factor.

I love Essie's stuff and the quick dry is great. Never had any complaints! Should note: Express To Impress is displayed as a mint/seafoam green, but it is actually a matcha color. (Other reviews show this difference, which is why I got this color, as I prefer the matcha color- it matches my keyboard!)

Love the color and it dries quick!

Is Essie Express formula the problem? I often buy Essie nail polish, specifically the "Essie Gel". I purchased the "express" because of the color. However, this polish skipped and was thicker, almost clumpy on application. The color, daily grind does need more than more than one coat to achieve the opaque finish. But it kept clumping. It's a beautiful clay muted bone color but the formula was off for some reason. I'll try to find it in the Essie Gel collection.

Showed up safe and secure, perfect polish color and easy to apply, quick dry

The performance of the polish is awesome. It dried pretty much instantly and still looks good one day later. But the colour is NOT accurate on the photos. I thought I was getting a brightish raspberry red that would look good on my cool skin. It ended up being like a dark, flat red with a brownish tone to it?! And I can’t return it :(

Takes longer to dry than you think but great other wise

very easy to apply and express to impress (fast dry) is the perfect mint green in only one coat. I will be trying more colours.

i have always loved essie products so i was really excited to see this quick dry option! i decided to try out the take the espresso colour from the expressie line - and absolutely loved how rich it was & how fast it dried. the best part: 1 coat was fine, but the 2nd coat added the gloss and shine that i love of all essie nail products. i found it very easy to use too. the brush is thick enough that it coated my nails easily and i also enjoyed the colour with one coat. i had my nails done for a week with minimal chipping - so i did rate it high with longevity. this picture is without top coat and i wouldn’t say it applies for a sheer look. this polish is thick and i like that look - i don’t like sheer nails so it was perfect for me. i’m excited to try more colours and really mix up designs next time i paint my nails . ps in terms of time: about 20 seconds flat for nails to dry!

Dried 2 coats in 4 mins, beautiful shine & colour! Lets see how long it lasts on my nails after cleaning the washroom 😄
