Summary of reviews

Essie Expressie nail polish is celebrated for its quick-drying formula, making it a favorite for guests with busy lifestyles. The range of colors, from vibrant blues to subtle pinks, caters to diverse tastes, though some guests find the polish to be sheer and require multiple coats. The angled brush and durability are appreciated, but there are concerns about chipping and streakiness in some shades.

    This polish does dry quickly, however it looks like chalk when painted on. After three coats and then a clear top coat it looked a much cheaper polish. The opacity was decent considering I purchased the white aka “unapologetic icon”

    The polish is so thin that I had to apply six coats and you can still somewhat see the tips of my nails through the polish. I ordered the mall crawler color and it doesn’t look anything like the photo from target. The color looks much more mauve in person (this was a drive up order). Disappointed and won’t buy again.

    Hello Aliyah! Thank you for sharing your experience with the expressie quick dry color 'bearer of rad news'. We want to understand what happened just as much as you do. This electric orange with red undertones should look perfect by the second coat. Be sure to apply to bare nails and skip the base coat.

    This type of Essie polish just personally wasn’t for me. I didn’t love the curved brush. I thought it made it hard to apply and cause lots of dripping off the brush. I didn’t love the color either. I got blue “Word on the Street”. It was a little dull for my taste. I also didn’t find this to dry any faster than normal Essie polish which I do highly recommend. Normal Essie polish + fast dry Essie top coat is the perfect mix and gives a much better result.

    Reccomend with Essie Couture Top Coat

    4 out of 5 stars
    Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
    Brit - 2 months ago
    Personally, I love this nail polish! I topped it with the Essie Couture top coat because that was the only top coat I had, and I think it’s a great combo. Usually when I paint my nails at home, they last 1 or 2 days tops before they start chipping and I have to take it off (I hate having chipped nails), but not this combo! So far, both times I’ve used this combo they’ve lasted 5-6 days before chipping, and when they did start chipping it wasn’t bad at all (I think that’s great for at home polish). I’m also someone who’s somewhat rough with their hands as well (constantly cleaning, work out regularly, and have two small kids). I love having my nails done, but no longer enjoy the process of going to get them done, so this is a great alternative. Pictures: one picture is the first day, and the second is day 6 for both. Disclaimer* I did have to touch up 2 nails with the purple/blue color after a couple of days, but I deep cleaned the house and hung up wallpaper, so I’m surprised that’s all I had to do, I thought they’d be destroyed afterwards.

    You need several coats to get good coverage and a good top coat to make it look nice but overall not bad. I do like the buildable coverage overall and the color is very pretty.
