Pretty

this is the BEST quick drying nail polish i’ve ever used! it dries so fast and that’s why i love it. i always hate wearing nail polish because of how much of a time consuming commitment it is to paint my nails but i put two coats of this on and it’s dry within 20 minutes. this is the only black nail polish that i use!!

So let me open this by saying: I love this new like of fast dry polish. It does exactly what it sets out to do. Pros: one layer dries in FAST. I had a job interview in person [which was very strange in these pandemic times lemme tell you] and wow my nails looked gnarly and I did NOT have time to waist. I slapped on one coat of this and it was dried in 65 seconds [yes I timed it] One sheer layer lasted about 5 days with no top of bottom coat without major chipping. Cons:one layer is pretty sheer;you can somewhat easily see the bail through one layer of black polish. two layers dry slightly slower, but if you're used to normal nail polishes, it's still MARJORLY faster. The problem comes with that second layer, sadly. For some reason, the longevity of this polish was cut in half when I tried doing a double layer. I'm talking I chipper badly the same day I painted them. A little disappointed because in order to get that lovely black, you need at least two layers. The angled brush is a gimmick, truly. I paint my nails often and very literally nothing was gained by having the angle, even for my right hand [I'm a lefty] Tl;dr its great if you're bored and want to feel cute for a little while without having to wait 80 years for polish to dry. Just dont expect it to hang around for long.

I really liked this Expressie Quick Dry on the Fly with an angled brush so it's easier to apply with both hands. I picked it in the black polish called Now or Never and it has lasted on my nails for 2 weeks now. I did not use a base or a top coat with this polish. There's a few chips on the edges but nothing I can't touch up. I used 2 coats which only took about 1 minute for each layer to dry. It was enough and very opaque. The angled brush is amazing and it makes it so much easier to apply. Usually my left-handed painted nails are a mess and look like a 3 year old painted them! I'm very happy with this Essie Expressie.

Very opaque color!! Doesn't chip or peel easily!!
