Not durable and stains nails

a year ago
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

Excellent color, truly QUICK DRY

2 years ago
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.

Good quality!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really pretty color! Perfect the summer time. This polish dries fairly fast and I like the brush because it’s easy to apply even layers. The packaging for Essie is always so nice!

Love this color and product

2 years ago
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

2 years ago
[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!

Dries quickly but this green is not it for me

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.

Stains your finger nails

Great blue but stains your finger nails even after you re-clean.

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.
