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

I got the color “pass the fit check“, and it’s my new go-to nail polish!! It took three coats to make it truly opaque, as it’s somewhat sheer, but I don’t mind! It went on very smooth, not streaky. It’s a beautiful pearly off-white.

Best quick dry polish on the market. I'm usually a press-on girlie but I wanted to give my nails a break for a few months. My go to was Sally Hansen insta dry but it chips after 1 day. I havent tried it with the hard as nails and olive & june combo yet bcs I wanted to try my new Essie polish. This polish is lovely, no harsh smell, nice brush for application. I'm not sure if it's the combination of hard as nails base coat, polish and the olive & June top coat but it's been 3 days and I have not had a chip yet. I've workout, showered, washed dishes mopped, relaxed my hair without gloves, washed my hair over 5 times and no chip! The polish is smooth, and has a nice finish. I applied 2 coats and waited about 3 min in between coats. Overall nail time from prep to cure was about 30 min, that includes nail prep, base coat, 2 coats and a top cop. Trust me it not that long, you can scroll while they dry. Best part is if you get a little on ur skin it will wash off in the shower. Just ordered a few more colors, can't wait to try them. The orange polish is 5 days old.

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! 😍

Edit: so out of pure boredom I painted my nails with it (bring the beat). Here is what I’ll say: the picture of it on the app is deceiving - but the actual color, it turns out, is quite pretty. It is a sea foam, mermaid green, not at all teal (there is no blue in this color), but the finish is great. Dried quick enough, I use dazzle dry or seche vite quick dry top coat so that helps. Not a fan that I couldn’t have returned it if I wanted to - but I am happy to keep it now. Old review: So not a fan of Amazon’s new policy of not returning nail polish. I don’t often get disappointed like this, so I’m annoyed at the $10 I spent. The color advertised is a beautiful teal/turquoise color. Green for sure, but bluish and bright. What I got is sea green, a little mossy, a little grey undertone. A depressing color I will not use.

A more natural polish with less harmful chemicals and fast drying! Wife wanted less harmful, less chemical, more natural cosmetics and i found the essie brand. Wife and daughter love them!

Great color

“word on the street” color representation is not accurate. The blue is still pretty but much duller than the pic. I do love the quick dry polish though! Have several other colors I really like.

Great polish Goes on easily and dries fast

The colour depicted in the Amazon ad photo is noticeably different than the actual colour. It's as though the photos were edited using a colour saturation feature before uploading. You can see in the screenshot I took of the Amazon ad, the polish colour is depicted as a bright, vibrant orange, and the item I received (in my hand), is duller and much more muted.

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 😄
