Bold Color

Amazing color, dries fast

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the color, I just think that the applicator is too big and make the application kind of messy. If it was flat it would be much better. Also I think the name of the color should be in the front not just on top. That way it’s easier for pictures, and to find it at stores too. The product is very good and it dries very fast indeed.

chipped easily

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so satisfied with my order purchase from this brand. This bottle of polish chipped quickly and didn't look very nice after just a day of wear.

Hello Cecebee8. Thank you for trying out the expressie color, 'beat the clock'. We can see this wouldn’t be the result you were hoping for…this vibrant cobalt blue nail polish is applied to clean, bare nails (no base coat or top coat) Two coats of color and your manicure is dry in about a minute.

Fully chipped within a week

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the beat the clock blue nail polish and a clear coat Essie nail polish, I did 3 coats of color and two of the clear coat yet the polish started to chip in 3 days and was almost completely gone after a whole week! I didn't mess with them and I only went to school so there shouldn't have been any chipping, definitely won't buy again!

Hello Idaanahil! Thank you for trying our expressie quick dry color, 'beat the clock'. We wish you could see the results you were hoping for. The expressie nail colors are applied with the angle brush down on a clean nail bed; apply two coats of your expressie color, let dry for about a minute. No base coat or top coat needed.

shiny & dries fast

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From the brand: The expressie quick dry polishes are quick drying in about 1 minute. 1 step color & shine. No base or top coat needed. My Thoughts: Definitely dries fast. Definitely shiny. Without base/top coat they lasted about 3 days without chipping. Probably would last longer with a top coat.

fastest drying polish ever

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I honestly have been lazy and not painting my actual nails for a while because I don't have the time to wait for all the steps to completely dry. Like base coat, 2 color coats, top coat is a lot for me. but not only does this color last with just one coat it also drys in like 1 minute. It's insane. I now keep this in my desk drawer for quick touch ups in between my manicure.

cute color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dries quick if applied with thin layers but goops up otherwise. Stayed on for about 4 days on me. But it’s good otherwise.

shiny essie

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie Nail Polishes have high, glossy shine finishes that provide flawless coverage along with outstanding durability, extensive color blue one of my favorite. It’s a must try nail polish!

my favorite shade!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the thick consistency of this nail polish and it dries less than 5 minutes. Will be getting more from this collection! The most opaque nail shade in my collection. One coat and you’re good to go.

Drying express

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this shade of blue and the nail polish is amazing, it dries fast, it is easy to apply, even after days my nails are still shining, it lasts long. I’m wearing this for 7 days and it didn’t chip at all.

perfect nail polish

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s dries almost immediately, I forgot I had just painted my nails and went to bed a few minutes later and they didn’t smudge or anything! I had gotten gel polish on my nails awhile back and was too lazy to take it off so I painted over it and the polish covered it in one coat and looks sooo good! I tried the purple color as well and I like it but it didn’t cover as well as this one did!

Great brush

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the formula of Essie polishes and the expressie dried fairly quickly. I didn’t time it, but it did not feel like it was very long. The brush was flat and tilted, which made it very easy to use. Love it.

Love the Blue

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was also satisfied with the shade “beat the clock”. I like to use fun colors sometimes and not just neutrals, so I was excited about this electric blue shade! I would recommend this Essie Expressie collection for others looking to do their nails at home.

Beautiful Blue

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail polish is super pretty! I was worried at first glance that the brush was going to be too wide for my daughters nails, but it was perfect. One swipe and her nails were covered nicely and didn’t require a second coat. I was impressed by how quickly the polish dried and will definitely be using this polish brand again in the future!
