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.

    Chips quickly

    1 out of 5 stars
    miller92 - 11 days ago
    originally posted on essie.com
    Bought this color recently and it was BEAUTIFUL at first, but chipped horribly within a day. The polish peeled completely off one nail on day 2. Redid the manicure, and the same thing happened; most nails chipped a day later. For reference, I used the same base / top coat as always, and manicures usually last a week; there seems to be an issue with this specific shade. Tragic; it would be so pretty if it would stay on.

    ukuzi - 14 days ago

    I get where the poor reviews are coming from-- this shade is transparent and never really becomes opaque. But it's marketed as transparent, so I think this polish deserves 5 stars. It's such a gorgeous color and is perfect for a subtle nail. It also works well with my cool skin tone and gives my nails a healthy flush.

    The dark blue completely stained my nails!
    1 reply from Essie Team team - 29 days ago
    Hi there, we understand how disappointing that must be! Unfortunately, some people are more likely to experience staining from intensely pigmented polish shades like this deep navy. Those with dry nails are especially at risk. If you see staining during polish removal, lightly buff the nail to remove polish residue from the surface of the nail plate.

    Katie - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
    The IRL color looks completely different on my nails than it does in the bottle. The bottle looks like a light/bright purple. After painting my nails, the color is more of a dark purple/grape color. It goes on well and dries quickly, just wasn't expecting the color to be so different.
    1 reply from Essie Team team - 1 month ago
    Hi there Katie, We wish you could see the results you were hoping for with the expressie quick dry color, ‘IRL’. This color is described as a grape purple. But we get what a challenge it can be to select a color based on how it appears in the bottle. For a slightly lighter purple, take a look at the color ‘choreo queen’.

    Agree with the other reviewer. Based on the color showing on the display, I assumed that this will be a nice nude color, but it's got this yellow tinge that makes your nails look like a sick person's nail. Do not recommend.

    Hi there persephone, we wish you could see the results you were hoping for with the color 'take a breakdance'. We describe this color sandy neutral with yellow undertones.

    I have been waiting for this polish my entire life. Every other brand goes on streaky, uneven, and the brushes are terrible. This is the first and only polish that applies perfectly and evenly. The brush is angled just right and isn't super thick. Not to mention it dries very fast making gorgeous manis a breeze. I will not buy another brand! This stuff is the best!

    I generally enjoy the quality of polishes in the Expressie line and was super excited to try this color but was ultimately disappointed by its lack of depth. The final color is VERY dark, almost black, rather than a darker chocolate-y brown. Wish it was just a tiny bit lighter.

    Hello ipol! Thanks for sharing some feedback with us on the expressie quick dry color Take The Espresso. We are so sorry to hear this blackened dark chocolate brown is a bit darker than you were hoping for.
