Essie expressie, Quick-Dry Nail Polish, 8-Free Vegan, True Black, Now Or Never, 0.33 fl oz

I love this! It is easily applied and looks like a real manicure. It lasts for a few days for sure. I really like the color and will buy other colors as well. It dries in a few mins

It's a very pretty shade of blue - not as dark as a true navy, but not a bright royal blue, either. Decent gloss, and it dries every bit as quickly as they say. I put two coats on and I did start to see chips within a few days, but I'm notoriously hard on my nails and even a professional mani won't last a full week on me, so I don't think it's a fault of this polish. I think I'm just a brute.

Crop top is the perfect nude color! You definitely want to do 2-3 coats to achieve the opaque color. I didn’t use any base or top coat and this is how my nails look on day 5. Impressed at staying power and the nails haven’t chipped at all. It does dry fast as advertised. I will definitely purchase again and try other colors!

This is more of a review on the color, to help others not make the same mistake I did since this is not returnable. This red first of all is more of a maroon than a red. Secondly, it doesn't seem very blue-toned, just more of a "muddy" maroon color. I have now ordered OPI Big Apple Red since I was looking for a classic, blue-toned red, which this was Essie Seize the Minute color was not.As for the nail polish, I can't really say the staying power, longevity etc. But I love Essie nailpolishes and have this style in other colors and love it! This review is only for the color, not the nail polish.

This express version is fantastic . It dries so quickly and looks professional. Easy to remove.So many people have asked me what color I am wearing . It really is a pretty color in winter or summer .

This polish meets all expectations. It dries shockingly quickly and the color payoff is so rich that you could get away with doing a single layer. I’m hard on my hands so I wanted a polish I could quickly touch up and this is precisely what I was looking for.

I have to use more than one layer of nail polish the color is just like the picture and it's really cute color but what I mean that it doesn't last is because yes you will have chipping off from nail polish fast specially for me at least because I do chores on a daily I'm pretty sure if it's on the toe nail it I'll last a little longer

Awesome and beautiful product!!!

I am very familiar with this Essie brand primarily because it is vegan. That is a huge bonus and precisely why I use it. This has always been my go-to nail polish. In addition, this product boasts of its 8-free formula - not knowing exactly what that means, I think that it alludes to the fact that it lacks harsh chemicals so pronounced in other polishes. For, example, aside from being animal friendly, it is also formaldehyde free, also making it a go-to product for those who are eco-conscious. This particular colour is a midnight blue and has all of the intensity one would care to find in a colour this dark. I have found that I need two coats to derive the dark and dramatic colour that I always seem to prefer. Aside from colour, texture, as usual, is smooth, even, and uniform. I've always noticed that the Essie brush too, enables good precision. In this particular case, the product description boasts of its first ever angled brush for easy application - including use of the non-dominant hand. I can attest to this. This is an innovative move on the part of Essie. I am a lefty and, with this brush, as stated, you just flip it around and angle it down for easy application. Makes application so much easier. Just another point in favour of Essie. This particular polish is definitely quick drying - making it a breeze to apply and dry in no time at all - as compared to other polishes where drying can take forever, especially if applying more than one coat. The price point, although a bit higher than some other products, is well worth it. Even if it is only 10mls, look at every descriptive point of this brand and this nail polish in particular, and invariably nobody can doubt the overall benefits of opting for this. If possible, I would rate above 5 stars.

i have always loved essie products so i was really excited to see this quick dry option!i decided to try out the take the espresso colour from the expressie line - and absolutely loved how rich it was & how fast it dried.the best part: 1 coat was fine, but the 2nd coat added the gloss and shine that i love of all essie nail products. i found it very easy to use too. the brush is thick enough that it coated my nails easily and i also enjoyed the colour with one coat. i had my nails done for a week with minimal chipping - so i did rate it high with longevity.this picture is without top coat and i wouldn’t say it applies for a sheer look. this polish is thick and i like that look - i don’t like sheer nails so it was perfect for me.i’m excited to try more colours and really mix up designs next time i paint my nails .ps in terms of time: about 20 seconds flat for nails to dry!

This Essie nail polish is vegan and has a thin consistency. The colour matches the navy blue shade shown in the product photos. I only needed 2 coats for full coverage and the brush applies the polish easily. There are also no streaks after drying. By the time I was done applying 1 coat onto both hands, it was already dry enough for me to start applying the 2nd coat. It claims that no base coat or top coat is needed, but I applied them anyway. This nail polish also doesn’t smell as strong or acidic with less listed harmful ingredients, especially formaldehyde, so I feel more comfortable using this more often. My only gripe is that it started chipping within 4 days, quicker than some other nail polishes I’ve tried. This is particularly bad since it’s a dark colour and chips are very noticeable and I’m too lazy to redo them that frequently. If you don’t mind this, then I recommend this product.

The colour looks exactly as advertised (for once! I haven't been very lucky with that on Amazon) and application was easy. However the product itself doesn't last long and my nail polish was coming off just a day after :( I got another polish from this line, but in person, and had the same issue so I don't think I got a dud.

I purchased the colour “340 - “Air Dry”. Beautiful colour and amazing pay off. If your picky like me you will add a 2nd coat for a try opaque finish on the nails. It did dry well but I found when I started moving around it wore way within a few hours at the tips. Over all - last a good 9 days before I felt a need to freshen up my nails! I would love to try out other shades and see how I get on with this formula! I used this with the Essie “No Chips Ahead” top coat.
