Too yellow

a month ago
Let’s start with- I LOVE expressie. It’s amazing. This color, however, isn’t a win. The yellow undertones are way too strong. It ends up feeling like a light yellow polish instead of an off-white.

Hello there Ny340, we are so happy to hear that you're a fellow Expressie lover—there’s nothing like that quick-dry magic! We're so sorry to hear the color Daily Grind wasn't the 'win' you were hoping for. Achieving that perfect off-white can be tricky, and we totally get how those yellow undertones can change the whole vibe. This color should be a dirty eggshell white with yellow undertones. We've noted your feedback, 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

Outstanding dusty rose/neutral pink on my skin tone. I can definitely see this as a color that can transition from Barbie fun feminine me to an older reserved me.

Doesn't dry down as quickly as it states

3 years ago
I like the polish a lot! The brush takes getting used to since it's angled. I've found using a nail polish dry spray with this polish is the best combination to get it to dry down fast. It doesn't last as long as I would like without chipping but it's a nice color nonetheless.

yes, I recommend this product.

1. Hi there Mini_momo! Thank you for sharing your experience with the expressie quick dry color ‘in the time zone’. We are delighted to hear how much you love the color results with this pastel pink with blue undertones. We just wish we knew why you weren’t seeing the quick dry results you should. This polish should go on clean, bare nails (no base coat). Apply 2 coats for perfect color results, and your mani should be dry in about a minute.

Great color and Easy to Use!

3 years ago
I have been using the Expressie color “In the Time Zone” on my toes for 2 years. It goes on easily, doesn’t fade or chip and lasts at least 2 weeks. My toes look great and there is no need to go get a professional pedicure. The best part is that it is dry in 10 minutes!

yes, I recommend this product.

Daily Grind #95!

4 years ago
I received Essie's Expressie quick dry nail polish #95 from Topbox to try in exchange for my honest review. The colour is a pretty neutral colour that will be great for summer. I needed to use around 3 coats to get an even non streaky nail. I didn't use a too coat and found that it chipped quite easily so I would recommend using one so that it lasts longer. It does dry super fast and goes on smoothly and has a nice shine. I will definitely be using again and trying out the other colours. #freeproduct. #TopBoxCircle

I received this essie fast drying nail polish in the shade "daily grind" as a #freeproduct from #topboxcircle in exchange for my honest opinion. This shade is so stunning! It's a grayish beige colour and the polish went on smoothly, I needed two coats and it dries quick. I was able to wear it for a few days before it started to chip off so I'm pretty impressed by that. The brush is pretty big so you only need about two swipes and it covers each nail fully. I recommend this nail polish

Actually quick dry nail polish

4 years ago
I was gifted this essie expressie from Topbox in exchange for an honest review. #freeproduct #trywithtopbox I was truly shocked at how fast this nail Polish dried. My young daughters were so excited to get their nails painted. I love this off white colour “daily grind” It’ll be the perfect nail colour for my daughters and I this summer. I will most definitely be purchasing other colours in the near future. I highly recommend these quick dry nail colour.

Surprisingly Great

4 years ago
I received the essie expressie daily grind, nail polish as a #freeproduct from #topboxcircle. I was quite shocked at how fast this really did dry. I was even a little hesitant on the color until I put it on. It’s a fabulous eggshell, off- white color. Perfect for any occasion or no occasion at all. The coverage was good. I did use two coats but I definitely will just use one the next time. It didn’t crack or chip until a few days later, which then I felt it was time to remove anyhow. Great product! I’m looking forward to trying multiple shades.

Good nailpolish

4 years ago
I received this essie fast drying nail polish as a #freeproduct from #topboxcircle. I got the daily grind shade which I don’t have anything like this colour. It is a good every day colour that has good coverage and I didn’t need more than one coat. It was easy to apply to my nails. It was fast drying and I really enjoyed using this polish. You could also use this to make designs with other colours on your nails.

Love the colour and fast drying!

4 years ago
I received the Essie Expressie Fast Dry Nail Polish in the shade Daily Grind (95) for free (#freeproduct) from the Topbox Circle review program. The slight angled brush did make it a little bit easier to apply the nail polish, especially when it came to the edges. I really loved the colour and I think it will look really good on medium to darker skin tones. It’s a great base colour for nail art as well. This nail polish did dry pretty quickly so you have to do a quick second coat before it fully dries other wise you may get some streaks. Overall, I really like this nail polish and will be using it often.

Quick dry natural color

I received this daily grind nail polish from Topbox for free in exchange for my review #trywithtopbox. I tried it as soon as I got it. I was amazed how fast it dried. It can either be used as a full nail polish or touch ups and details. I will deginiteley try other colors too since I am highly satisfied with the texture and durability.

Only as a detail piece

4 years ago
Not a fan of this colour on me, it was so pretty in the bottle. The quick dry formula paired with a very rough and thick bristle brush caused lines in the polish when needing to touch up any areas. I needed three decently thick coats to fully cover my nails and by then it’s not very flattering of a look. I’ll use this for dots and details but as a full nail look it’s lacking. I received this through Topbox circle, the review is my own.

Wish I loved it more

I received this #freeproduct from #trywithtopbox and was so excited to try a quick drying polish. It dried very quickly but unfortunately a bit too quickly. I couldn’t go back over a section of nail like I can with regular polish. It would stick to the drying polish and make it streaky and lumpy. A beautiful neutral colour but unfortunately the polish is not for me which is unfortunate because I love Essie.

no, I do not recommend this product.

I am obsessed with this collection

4 years ago
I am a new mom and honestly the entire Expressie collection is amazing. I picked this color up at the grocery store the day of a wedding and I'm in love. This dried super quickly and went on very smooth. I'm able to complete a full manicure (Base Coat, Color and Top Coat) during my 6 month old's afternoon nap. I've already recommended to everyone that will listen.

Can't Remove Without a Long Process of Soaking

5 years ago
I bought this polish and I regret it. . There is no labeling to tell the consumer it is extremely difficult to remove. I used it and I cannot get it off my nails. There should have been a warning that removal is difficult. I have terrible raggedy looking nails now because I can't get the old polish off.

no, I do not recommend this product.
