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

This is my favourite Essie colour. I love this old blue shade, it’s classic and easy to wear. It applies really smoothly, dries fast, and doesn’t streak. I always use it with the Essie clear top coat and it lasts about 1 to 1.5 weeks on me without chipping, which is great for regular nail polish. I’ll definitely buy it again.

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.

Second Hand First Love is a really nice color. It’s a neutral that will go with most other colors. It’s not the vibrant pink displayed, but does lean more pink when seen in natural light (outside). Inside, it reads more pinky-beige. Dries fairly quickly. It takes more than 1 minute, but no more than 5 minutes which is drastically quicker than regular polish. The polish I received is fresh - not extremely thin and not thick. It’s the sweet spot in between that goes on very smoothly. Coverage is good. For a lighter color, two coats did the trick. It also has a nice shine. My pictures show only the polish, no top coat. I’ve used Essie Expressive Nail Polish for years and love it.

I have always been using this brand for my mail care with no complaints. This is the first time I purchased nail polish from their Expressie line. Some observations to share. They actually have some rather unique nail colours not found elsewhere and the colors are true to what's shown on Amazon. Once applied (two layers, in my case), the color can last for at least 3 days. The selling point of the Expressie line is quick dry. In my experience, it took 3 minutes to dry to touch (not 1 minute as advertised) with two layers of applications. This is acceptable to me so I don't have to buy the"quick-dry spray " going forward. Of course, I recommend this product. Christmas is right around the corner so why don't you dress up your nails with a new color for the holiday seasons? ☃️🥳

At first glance I was skeptical for quick dry nail polishes. Others in the category dry the nail bed and they never dry as quickly as they promise. I loved the colour “290 Not So Low-Key” so much I just had to try it and I am so happy I did! During my lunch I decided to try it out. I was happy I didn’t need to use base or top coat, so that was perfect. I painted my first coat on my left hand at this point I saw that since it was bit darker colour I was definitely going to need two coats. Let me tell you how fast the Expressie nail polish dried! It was completely dry by the time I was finished my right hand. I rubbed gently the first time because I wasn’t sure but started rubbing harder realizing that it was 100% more than ready for the next coat. The second coat took a little longer to dry however, I was able to go about my lunch and clean up and finished eating my lunch with time to spare. I wore the polish 3 full days before chipping occurred and honestly nowadays with COVID precautions that is impressive because I have been washing and sanitizing like crazy. When removing the polish no staining occurred either, it came off easily without leaving streaks (red is notorious for that). Overall I am very pleased with Essie Expressie and I can’t wait to add more colours to my collection.
