Love

[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

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

Just right

a year ago
[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.

Perfectly Pleased with my Purple Polish!

a year ago
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!

Love this color and product

a year 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.

Beautiful color and easy application

2 years ago
[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!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] (Purple 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.

Stains your finger nails

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.

Lovely purple Essie nail polish!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved this color of Essie nail polish! Such a pretty purple color easy to apply. The drying time is not super long and feels nice. 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!

Essie Always

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie is a total nail staple. Always applies perfectly, color is opaque and so pretty. It is perfect for the spring and summer time to spice things up. I am usually always a pink girly but this purple is a great color to add to my collection.

Don’t recommend

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got both chores 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

Best non gel polish

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The smell on these polishes is less than normal. The pigmentation is perfect. The applicator brush is the best one ive ever seen. Applying is very quick and easy. The two shades I received both perform beautifully. Drying time is nearly instant

Perfect Pastel Purple Nail Polish for Spring

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a perfect pastel purple for Easter and spring! I used it on my 4 year old daughter for Easter and it dries quickly which is a plus when doing a kids nails. It lasted my daughter a week before it started to chip off otherwise it’s pretty chip resistant.

Quick-Drying and Gorgeous Color

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this shade! A beautiful deep purple color and extremely easy to apply. These expressie nail polishes are super pigmented you only need one swipe and your nails are done. I recieved two shades and both of them dried extremely fast - like under a minute fast! Both are beautiful colors aswell. I have always used Essie but I will definitely be purchasing Expressie polishes in the future because of the drying time! I recieved this product for free from Essie and Influenster in exchange for my honest review.

Long lasting and beautiful color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail polish is hitting 1 week on my nails! The color is so beautiful and the brush is big and flat, which makes it easier to paint the nails and not the cuticles. It dries out very quickly as well

Essie slaying this shade!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ✨Disclaimer✨Influenster has sent me this product for free in exchange for a honest review. I love Essie as a brand! They have beautiful colors, and they slayed this purple color. It’s like a medium violet. Not super dark but just the perfect shade. It dries quickly, and it hasn’t chipped for me so far! I love this color though so much!

Dried crazy fast

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] *my nails are a bit short bc i just got acrylics off* I like this nail polish, it really did dry SUPER quick. My only complaint is you have to make sure you apply it neatly or else extra pieces on the sides AND your nail polish itself will come off. Some chipping issues but to be expected in quick drying. Love the color!

Not my go to

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not bad but I feel like it dry a little too fast oddly to say. I say it’s dried too fast because it started to get patchy when I was still trying to get a clean coat of the polish.

Quick drying nail polish

Vibrant

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was surprised by the choreo queen nail polish. The color is vibrant and much of it remained on my nails after a few days. However, I do want to note that I gave myself about 5 minutes after applying to sufficiently dry before moving around. So I would not agree that the drying time is fast and I had to apply two coats as the first coat was transparent.

Hello gabby966f! Thanks for sharing your experience with the expressie quick dry color 'choreo queen'. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the color of this deep midtone purple with strong blue undertones. By the second coat, all of our colors should be perfect, but, we're surprised to hear that your dry time was longer than 1 minute.

Beautiful and FAST

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful purple shade from Essie! It’s beautiful for the upcoming spring and summer seasons. The application is smooth, and the wands are easy to work with. It drys FAST. If I’m running low on time for my nails, I would reach for this one. It seems to last about a week or so before chipping occurs WITHOUT a top coat - I wanted to see how it would perform by itself. I will say it does have a strong smell which is pretty normal for most nail polishes!

Spunky and smooth!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the name of this nail polish and the vibrant color. After trying the other color I was gifted (Main Character Moment), I know that this formula is easy to apply and very vibrant. (I haven’t yet had a chance to try this specific color on my nails, though.) I will say that I’m struggling to find an occasion for this bright purple color, which is my only qualm.

perfect applicator!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] often I’ll find the perfect color but the brush is so tiny it becomes inevitable that the polish will looks streaky from so many strokes. not today though!!! the brush is wide and fit perfectly on my nail bed. the color is also very opaque (1st pic is one coat and 2nd pic is 2 coats). I highly recommend this line from Essie :)
