beautiful color

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] beautiful color, easy to use. brush was perfect size to be able to glide on whole nail bed. color was very pigment. with one coat would be enough. Definitely favorite polish. would recommend.

easy to apply

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s true it does dry up in like a minute! As soon as I was done with my 3rd coat and waited a minute for them to dry, I washed my hands. The paint stayed in place. I also washed my makeup brushes and showered and the paint didn’t chip!

A good choice.

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product works just as it is advertised. I love it because it is easy to apply and it dries quickly. I use it on my natural nails. Love the pigment. I use 3 coast but you could also stop at 2. This last me about a 7 days, with chipping starting around day 5 or 6. I use my hands alot and with the panda express we are in, I was hands, sanitize the often. Overall I'm happy I purchased this color and few others in this. REMEMBER TO LET EACH COAT DRY FULLY BEFORE THE NEXT. The polish will bubble.

Second Favorite Color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is probably my second favorite color front this collection, behind the blue color. easy to apply. I would not improve this product anymore because I see no flaws in it. I would buy this again. Would recommend.

love the color and it does dry quick

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so excited that Essie came out with a quick dry nail polish because sometimes life is a little crazy and it's hard to sit down and wait for your nail polish to dry. I love the colors the offer and it really does dry fast

good nail polish.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how smooth the polish glides on the nail. The small nails lol. It doesn’t have a strong scent and dries fairly quickly. Very easy to apply.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A polish created to entertain and add color to life through our nails. The color is beautiful but it doesn't last long.

it definitely dries fast

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It dries very fast which is great! But make sure you are ready to paint your nails or it will start drying while you are painting them causing streaks. I loved the shine of it and how it only took two layers to make it opaque.

excellent magenta shade for the fall

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a sucker for essie polishes so when this came into my snaps I was excited! I loved the shades and it was easy to apply!! It lived up to its name that it dried SUPER quick too. I would seriously want to look for more shades and I hope they make more! Like other essie polishes, it’s a little pricey but if we end up going into lockdown again this would be a great idea!! This magenta is perfect! Not too much red, not too much blue - just right!! 12/10 totally recommend. Definitely will be purchasing more when I run out and totally want to check out the other shades they have! Such a great campaign

Express Essie

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail polish was very nice and it dried very quickly! I was surprised how quickly it dried considering it wasn’t a gel polish. I also liked that it only took one coat and it wasn’t sheer at all.

Love the Color

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had really high hopes and I must say the polish itself did not disappoint. I love the color and it really does dry quickly! It’s a bit on the pricey side for a polish, and I’d say it’s a good value if it weren’t for the finish and the brush applicator. The brush is just too dense and uneven, so it’s hard to get the small areas without getting polish on your skin. It also seems to get a satin finish instead of glossy when it dries, so a top coat is definitely recommended.

Love the brush

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven’t gotten any new nail polishes in awhile, so I was excited to grab these shades from the Essie Expressie Gamer Collection. I received cash back from Influenster and Essie for trying this product and sharing my honest review. I bought Virtual Velocity (a shimmery lavender shade) and Don’t Glitch Get Better (a deep shimmery fuchsia pink). Let me start with the things I was disappointed by… I loved the color of this polish initially, but the “shimmer” was more of a chunky silver glitter. It was reminiscent of those cheap nail polishes you’d get as a kid from the dollar store. Very “My First Nail Polish” vibes. Not my style personally, but if you love an obnoxiously chunky glitter that isn’t really integrated into the color of the polish, this color may be for you. As for the drying time, it was only slightly faster than my usual polishes. So I wasn’t supremely impressed with that, even though that’s the main claim to fame for the Expressie polishes. Now, for the pros,… The consistency of this nail polish was perfect. Not too goopy or thick, but not watery thin either. It was easy to paint my nails with a light coat every time. More importantly, I absolutely LOVED the angled brush! It made getting a clean line on every nail effortless, whether I was using my dominant hand or not. I would buy many more Essie polishes if this was their standard brush shape!!! Overall, I wasn’t a fan of this collection but I would consider buying more Essie Expressie polishes if the angled brush became the expected brush shape for every bottle.

Breaking the Bold!

4 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] * Couldn't find the Breaking the Bold color so I reviewed a color that looks like it * When I say I'm in love with this color, I absolutely love it! The color is more closely associated with maroon and it is so beautiful when applied dried. My favorite thing about the colors from this collection is that it dries super fast! By the time I'm finished doing my left hand, my right hand is already dried. It is simple, easy and the color is breathtaking. It has a nice shimmer and shine to it also. Will definitely be buying more from this collection!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received cash back on these products from Influenster and Essie in exchange for my honest review. I loved essie before and love this quick drying nail polish. The colors were bold and really did dry fast. I got, Don’t Glitch Get Better (pink) Beat The Clock (blue), Now or Never (black) and IRL (purple / grape purple). They’re both beautiful and only had to use two coats on each fake nail. I look forward to using these for my birthday next week. Thanks Influenster, Essie and Ulta! #expressiegamer #contest @Influenster @UltaBeauty @essie #essieulta

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Don’t Glitch, Get Better! Loved the color! I loved how quickly it dried, but then again it was super fast and I couldn’t wipe it off my skin in time. I also thought the brush was too big for me. My nails are pretty small so it painted my skin accidentally even if I was careful and took my time to paint it on. I also liked how I only needed one coat to nicely color my nails. I love sparkly so some glittery polish can be chunky but this one went on pretty smoothly! The picture shows me using one coat of this polish without a clear base or top coat that I usually use. Awesomeness!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I honestly did not love this color on me. I like the formula as I have it in a different color, but this is too bright and sparkly for me. Easy to apply though, and dries really quickly. My friend loves the color so I gave it to her and she loves it.

[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!
