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

This is not a true pink like the image shows. It is translucent.
1 reply from Essie Team team - 24 days ago
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. 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

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.
1 reply from Essie Team team - 2 months ago
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!

Word on the street is a joke color

Word on the Street is NOT at all what is pictured online. It is a swampy, grey blue. It is not pretty and bright. This is the worst representation ever.

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.
1 reply from Consumer Care Center team - 5 months ago
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

Hi there funkyblackshoes (best name ever!) We are so glad to hear that the 'quick dry' feature is working for your busy schedule—we love a fast mani too! However, we’re sorry to hear about the early chipping. We know how disappointing it is when a fresh manicure chips too soon! Your feedback is so valuable to us as we work to balance speed with durability.
