[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My new go to polish! The color comes out perfect every single time it dries quickly and doesn’t have a super poet smell whatsoever. Will be buying more Moore shades ASAP.

Not durable and stains nails

I love this color but it chipped off almost immediately and then, when removing the polish, it stained my nails. Pretty disappointing.

Hi there, we would be disappointed too! Some people are more likely to experience staining from intensely pigmented polish shades. 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. That being said, this quick dry nail enamel goes on bare nails, without a base coat, so it may not be a good choice for your nails. 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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging was just right for this. There is no scent to this other than acetone like all nail polishes. I'm not sure the price of this. The color was bright and stayed on for 3 weeks without chipping.

Excellent color, truly QUICK DRY
spocktopodes

Hoping my review rises to the top as I was not incentivized and paid full price for this product! Every color I’ve tried of the quick dry formula has been fabulous, this is no exception. A happy medium between electric neon yellow and brat green. For those having issues with coverage, I would highly recommend making sure you’ve dehydrated your nail with acetone before applying. Most quick dry formulas, I have noticed, apply more thin and streaky over nails that haven’t been properly prepared. Something about the way they can interact with the natural oils on your nails. Two coats and one coat of Essie’s super quick dry topcoat makes my manicure perfect every time and lasts me at least 3 days (keeping in mind that I work outdoors with my hands, so your mani might last even longer!)
yes, I recommend this product.

Perfectly Pleased with my Purple Polish!

I have used a nail polish in a very long time, so while my application skills aren’t that great, that’s on me. This polish is a beautiful color, one swipe and I was immediately impressed! I applied as recommended and I’m just very pleased with how my nails turned out! I definitely recommend essie polishes and choreo queen in particular to everyone!

I don't think I'll ever use non-quick dry nail polish again. I've used this twice since I purchased it and I love how quickly it dries. I have had no trouble with smudges while sleeping etc. Even with such a dark color, I have found it to stay nice and shiny.

Vibrant and easy application
migelad

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very interesting color, I don’t usually go for bright greens so this one is unique in my collection. It’s very vibrant, goes on easy and drys very fast compared to other standard polishes. It lasts me a few days with zero chips. I use Essie polishes often so the formula is a hit, however the color is not one I would typically reach for. Definitely one for the summer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using Essie for years and by far have more purples than any other color, so this was right up my alley. Lovely color, excellent pay off, great formulation, quick drying, and lasted me a few days without any chips. Would definitely recommend to anybody looking for another purple to add to their collection.

Dries quickly but this green is not it for me
alexap151
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] (Green review) The only reason I’m removing a star is because I don’t care for the color! If it was a pink or lighter purple it would be more up my ally. That being said, the product works really well and dries quickly as promised! I sadly am not very good at doing my own nails so I will spare everyone a photo of my finished hand (which is my fault). If I got a different color I would have rated 5 stars. I hate waiting around for nail polish to dry so this is really a great product. I’m curious to see some of the other colors they have available. The green is kind of a hideous color I don’t think I’ll be using it again.

Hello KT2B. We are so sorry to hear our polish left some polish staining behind when removing. For future removals, we suggest to soak your cotton pad in polish remover, and then allow it to sit on the nail for 5 seconds. Pull the cotton pad vertically down the nail from cuticle to tip—never rub back and forth horizontally. Fold the cotton and continue to remove any remaining polish by pulling the cotton vertically down the nail. Some people are more likely to experience staining from intensely pigmented polish shades. 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.

The shine of the polish is great. Found that the polish lasted two weeks on the nails amazing for regular polish. Also very easy to remove with nail polish remover!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got both choreo queen and main character movement. I imagined main character movement would be brighter and lighter than it actually is. Tried painting my nails, and was not satisfied: the polish is really thin and takes a long time to dry. You'll need to put on multiple thin layers and be very patient if you want the color to be even/ show up well

Hello yasmina2974! We are sorry to hear the expressie quick dry color 'main character moment' is not your new favorite. But something's not right...your color should be a bright lime green with yellow undertones that dries in about one minute. By the second coat, the color should be perfect and cover well.

Main character moment Essie nail polish
nishap16

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great nail polish. The color is a really nice lime green perfect for the spring and summer seasons. The brush is nice enough to help be preside as possible with the application. The best part is how fast it dries. You can use your hands to do other things after couple minutes since it’s quick drying. Doesn’t chip too fast either. Would recommend.

Short Drying Time and Perfect for Summer
randia4

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail polish has nice staying power, but I find that it doesn’t apply as smoothly as the regular Essie formula. I have to put in more effort to make sure my nails are streak-free. Other than that, I love the colors and plan to use them all summer.

Hello felicial53! Thank you for trying out the expressie quick dry color 'main character moment'. We are delighted to the polish applied well and held up for you, but we get that this bright lime green with yellow undertones is not a color for everyone or every day. A mani or pedi with the expressie quick dry colors takes just a minute or so, (no base or top coat needed) making it perfect for fun looks to wear in summer!
