Nice color!

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This color is soooo cute! Very on trend with the pearly whites. Matches with my skin tone nicely. I would recommend it to others. The polish stayed on quite well.

Quick drying

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The color of this product is beautiful. It is truly quick drying, as it was put on, even with a thick layer it dried very quickly. Definitely recommend

Didn’t like it AT ALL

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would give zero stars for this Essie, Pass the fit check, quick-dry nail polish. Not only is the color barely noticeable, but it applies on very clumpy. I think it dries too quickly, to the point that even the brush starts drying too fast. I didn’t like it. I ended up removing it with only 3 nails done. Possibly the worst nail polish I’ve encountered.

Hello bayarealeo! We can imagine how frustrating that would be…your description of the expressie quick dry color 'the pass the fit check' drying so quickly and not going on smoothly does not sound right for this product. We want to understand what happened just as much as you do.

Dries quick

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail polish dries up so quick and it’s perfect for a quick mani. You get a lot of coverage even in one coat but two coats look best in my opinion.

Love the color

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I absolutely loved the color of this nail polish, but the application was very messy and not smooth whatsoever. I had to do a couple of coats, and each time it made my nails look clumpy and worse . The brush isn't terrible but the formula makes the whole nail polish worse I feel

Hello amandarszpak! Thank you for sharing your experience with the expressie quick dry color 'pass the fit check". While we're glad you enjoyed the color, we wish you could see all the results you were hoping for. All essie nail colors, including the expressie colors should flow easily onto the nail bed and should never appear "thick". By the second coat your color should be flawless. This formula goes on bare nails so be sure to skip any base coat.

Pretty and perfect

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A little goes a long way, so it can last awhile. So sleek the way it applies. Also very easy to take off. Has a nice shine. Just a few layers, and even then it still doesn’t get too thick. Doesn’t chip easily either.

Good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You definitely need a couple coats id you than to use this alone. I think it would be gorgeous as a topper for other colors. It would give it a gorgeous pearly look! Dries quickly which I liked.

Super cute color

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a beautiful white pearlescent finish nail polish. Easy to use and dries quickly as stated on the packaging. Overall a pretty and put together color that could be worn all year round. Would even be cute as a wedding polish. Has a very strong nail polish scent which is normal but can possibly bother someone with a sensitive nose. I would use it in a well ventilated area. Took me three coats to build up the opacity.

Dried quickly

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this nail polish was very nice. It dried quickly and stayed on for awhile. I like that it’s more clear with a little bit of color. It’s pretty neutral. I would by again!

Cute nail polish

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] "Essie Expressie in 'Pass the Fit Check' is awesome! The shimmery white with a smooth pearl finish is super chic and elegant. It dries quickly, which is perfect for a last-minute nail fix. Plus, it's vegan, which is a great bonus. Definitely loving this for a clean, polished look!"

Peeling

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was different from all the other nail polishes. First, it looked clear and took a minute to realize it was a pearl color. It made my feet look classy. When it dried down and was exposed to hot water, the parts on my skin peeled right off. It was more enjoyable than I thought.

Quick Drying Bridal Mani Must Have!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Essie!!! Their expressie line is so awesome for a quick mani. I LOVE this pearlized shade in Pass The Fit Check. The name is perfect and it’s SO perfect for a bridal mani!!! It gives that glazed donut gorgeous white finish. I can’t wait to try it as a topper over different colors. I’m obsessed

Bridal must have

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I feel like I’ve never found a nail polish that hasn’t chipped pretty much instantly on my nails and unfortunately this one is no different. The color is BEAUTIFUL and stunning for a wedding or bridal events!!! Fingers & toes but I always choose gel over polish for longevity so I probably wouldn’t buy it again but would definitely wear for a special occasion.

I most likely wont buy

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So to be honest I wasn’t as impressed as I thought I would be it was pretty thin so thin I had to do like 4 coats just to have it be the same color throughout the nail I’d say quality is sub par to say the least the bottles are good size the color are good color but not the greatest product honestly.

Hello tylerw4201! We are sorry to hear this expressie color 'pass the fit check' is not your new favorite. The results should be sheer but by the second coat there should be no streaks, and your results should be even.

Gorgeous white pearlescent with no streaks

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pass the Fit Check is a gorgeous pearlescent white with a slight orange tint but it would still be perfect as a bridal color. My favorite part is that it’s full coverage with no streaks in just two coats, which is so hard to find in a white shade! It’s mostly set after ten minutes so I can start typing or working but give it an hour to fully set.

Not my favorite color

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Pass the Fit Check by Essie did fall a little flat for me. I am not a huge fan of translucent polish and this was more white than I would have liked. The polish went on smoothly and evenly. The polish also dried very quickly

Hello alexisf156! Thank you for trying out the new essie experssie in the shade 'pass the fit check'. Love the pic! We know its fun to get new colors to try, but's disappointing, to get a shade you don't love. Your comments on the colors are still appreciated and did we say great pic!!?

Subtle but pretty color

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This color nail polish from expressie is very subtle but pretty. I love how fast it dries after I apply it on my nails. I love how well the color stays on after washing my hands and doing things that may chip the nail polish. I will be buying more colors.

Shimmery and quick drying

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shimmering white summery shade was gorgeous in both two and three coats. It went on easy and was opaque. The sideways brush was a little weird at first but then was easy to paint with. Dried FAST!

Pretty color!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this product for free in exchange for an honest review. This color is so pretty and it’s very easy to apply. It lasts a long time too. Maybe do 2-3 coats to prevent chips and you should be good to go!

Chrome effect regular nail polish

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This one gives me the exactly chrome powder effect but it’s regular polish. I layer it on my jade green nail color and it looks sooo cute. I like how they change the brush which makes it really easy to apply. I hate the old brush so tiny you can barely cover the whole nail in 1 swipe. It dries fast too. I’m kinda impressive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail polish color is giving late 90s/y2k and I’m obsessed!! I had a color like this years and years ago and I’m happy to have one in 2024!! The duo chrome color is my favorite. It didn’t take long at all to dry and it applied so evenly. I think I have a new favorite nail polish brand.

Dries fast, durable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a pretty pearly color just in time for summer! In the photo attached below I painted my ring finger. I was surprised how fast it dried. 2 layers create an even coat. Application brush is so comfortable and polish does not chip away. It’s vegan too!
