essie Expressie Quick Dry Nail Varnish

I find the 'expressie' nail polishes really good if you are someone who struggles with waiting for your nails to dry. The colour is bold and relatively long-lasting too. It does need a couple of coats so just something to bear in mind. I also added a top coat to seal it in.

Quick to dry and easy to apply. Lovely shade

Never tried vegan advertised nail polish before. This experience was just as good as others that I’ve tried. The colour is good, the brush is a bit different, but works as well as standard brushes. Easy enough to get off, but lasts, does not pit either easily.

Nice colour but liquid hardens quivkly, got a bit clotted after 6 months. I threw it away by month 10. Not great. This is a real issue with all Essie polish but spscially the e ExprEssie series.

Very nice nail polish! Super red 💅, I love it!

I don’t understand some of the negative reviews about this nail polish. I’m not the best apply my own nail varnish – especially my right hand. For this reason I usually have shellac applied but since lockdown I haven’t been having it done. I thought I would quickly put some of this on my nails to try it out with only an hour left until my swim. I didn’t hold out much hope, HOWEVER I was wrong! The nail polish appeared very thin and as a result spread very easily but it is completely opaque and when it dries on the Nails it doesn’t appear thing at all, in fact there is 100% coverage with just one quick coat. The problem I have previously had with dry nail polishes is that they dry before I finished applying them. Not so with this one – it was easy to add a little extra bit on the side of the nails and blended in completely with the previously applied section..

Another incredible thing is that the polish was completely dry to the touch within five minutes and there was not a sign or a hint of any tackiness whatsoever. I was confident to be able to go swimming after an hour and absolutely delighted that no ill effects were noticed to the nail polish. My nail colour lasted five days before any chips were seen, even though I always have my hands in water and have been gardening. I am so glad I have found this nail polish! The colour in the pics is Seize the Minute (190)

The color is exactly as the image says, it takes couple of coats to reach that lovely bold color and it dries in less than a minute making the application even quicker, the application brush is easy to use and it can easily cover the full nail length with one stroke

Nice shade; dries reasonably quickly but will need at least a couple of coats as one coat seems a bit thin to get the colour show properly. Otherwise good.
