    Color not accurate

    I like the attributes of Essie polish, but Daily Grind (95) is shown as a cream color when in reality it is a medium taupe.

    LOVE the color, but recommend base coat & top coat

    I don’t have the patience for regular polish to dry - it takes HOURS - and Essie Expressie is my go to although I do begin with an imitation gel effect base coat and same imitation gel effect top coat plus a strength top coat. I’ve found if you follow Essie’s directions and apply directly to nail with no base or top coat that chipping occurs quickly, but as long as I don’t follow the rules and do multiple base and top coats and have week long great looking nails! This 208 trick clique color is one of my absolute faves out of any brand’s colors as it’s a balance between pink and purple so I would refer to it as fuchsia and like I said I love it! I do my pedi in power moves when I wear trick clique for my mani. They’re in the same shade sort of family so to speak and I like my toenails a bit darker than my fingernails. I would recommend base and top coats to all to have a week or longer wear time despite what Essie tells you to do. Expressie is the polish I use most often as I love the colors and application much more than other brands quick dry lines and generally I find Essie colors are just a bit more unique, easier to apply with full coverage in 1-2 coats and they look beautiful for 7 days or more with a gel effect top coat which naturally hides any flaws so nicely.

    Stained Nails

    The color (Navy-Feel the Hype) looks great but when I tried to remove the paint, it completely stained my nails. I tried several layers and types of nail polish remover and nothing worked. Very disappointing

    Rachel
    From Essie Team team
    Hello there Rachel, we really appreciate you letting us know about this. Screen displays and lighting can sometimes make shades look more opaque than they actually are, but we completely understand your disappointment regarding the translucent finish! The Expressie quick dry color Mall Crawler should be a muted sheer pink with cool undertones.

    all time fav

    This is my husband's favorite color. He picked it out himself and now asks me to paint his nails regularly. This from someone from a conservative background who needed a lot of coaxing to feel comfortable wearing nail polish in public. It adds a subtle androgynous accent to his style which he wears with a lot of grace. Looks lovely. Please never discontinue this one specially okay love you bye

    Meh...

    I love the color of the polish (lighter purple) but it is a bit clumpy. I just put the brush back in the bottle and shake but it does get clumpy fast. Also it’s not a smooth application. It was a bit of a learning curve but I got it.
    From Essie Team team
    Hello Yokee! We are so glad you love the gorgeous lighter purple shade of your essie expressie Quick-Dry Nail Polish, but we are sorry to hear that the formula became clumpy and made smooth application a bit tricky. Because quick-dry formulas are designed to set rapidly, a helpful tip is to gently roll the bottle between your palms rather than shaking it to mix the polish without creating air bubbles, and ensure the cap is closed tightly immediately after use to keep the texture fluid. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience with us, and we will gladly pass your feedback along to our product development team.

    Mall Crawler doesnt match image online

    I should’ve paid more attention to the reviews. Mall Crawler looks very pink online but when I picked up my order the polish is a mauve type shade. I’ve decided to keep it and give it a try, but if you are looking for a pink polish don’t get this one.

    Mall Crawler

    Gorgeous crelly with tons of gloss. More plum than the photo shows. I loved it at three coats but would be pretty at one or two. Dried very quickly as expected. I did follow up with Essie Stay Longer,but I didn't have to. It's gorgeous.

    NOT Feeling The Hype

    Beware: Feel The Hype stains your nails & does not come off after several attempts with different polish removers. It is nearly impossible to cover up with any other shade of polish after removing- be prepared to use darker colors or at least 4 coats polish until your nails grow out!

    Too yellow

    Let’s start with- I LOVE expressie. It’s amazing. This color, however, isn’t a win. The yellow undertones are way too strong. It ends up feeling like a light yellow polish instead of an off-white.
    Ny340
    From Consumer Care Center team
    Hello there Ny340, we are so happy to hear that you're a fellow Expressie lover—there’s nothing like that quick-dry magic! We're so sorry to hear the color Daily Grind wasn't the 'win' you were hoping for. Achieving that perfect off-white can be tricky, and we totally get how those yellow undertones can change the whole vibe. This color should be a dirty eggshell white with yellow undertones. We've noted your feedback, if you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET
