Review: Great colour, well and Essie quality! - I wanted to have a nail polish which didn't come off on the slightest touch. Holy camoly, I put that polish through the wringer and it held up very well. Plus the colour, have I mentioned how beautiful and rich it is! 😍
Review: Long lasting mail polish, true to colour - I have always been using this brand for my mail care with no complaints. This is the first time I purchased nail polish from their Expressie line. Some observations to share. They actually have some rather unique nail colours not found elsewhere and the colors are true to what's shown on desertcart. Once applied (two layers, in my case), the color can last for at least 3 days. The selling point of the Expressie line is quick dry. In my experience, it took 3 minutes to dry to touch (not 1 minute as advertised) with two layers of applications. This is acceptable to me so I don't have to buy the"quick-dry spray " going forward. Of course, I recommend this product. Christmas is right around the corner so why don't you dress up your nails with a new color for the holiday seasons? ☃️🥳

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great colour, well and Essie quality!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Long lasting mail polish, true to colour

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yes to Essie Expressie!
*by C***G on 18 January 2021*

At first glance I was skeptical for quick dry nail polishes. Others in the category dry the nail bed and they never dry as quickly as they promise. I loved the colour “290 Not So Low-Key” so much I just had to try it and I am so happy I did! During my lunch I decided to try it out. I was happy I didn’t need to use base or top coat, so that was perfect. I painted my first coat on my left hand at this point I saw that since it was bit darker colour I was definitely going to need two coats. Let me tell you how fast the Expressie nail polish dried! It was completely dry by the time I was finished my right hand. I rubbed gently the first time because I wasn’t sure but started rubbing harder realizing that it was 100% more than ready for the next coat. The second coat took a little longer to dry however, I was able to go about my lunch and clean up and finished eating my lunch with time to spare. I wore the polish 3 full days before chipping occurred and honestly nowadays with COVID precautions that is impressive because I have been washing and sanitizing like crazy. When removing the polish no staining occurred either, it came off easily without leaving streaks (red is notorious for that). Overall I am very pleased with Essie Expressie and I can’t wait to add more colours to my collection.
