nice polish, color not as shown

3 years ago
This color went on well & needed the standard 2 coats for most nails, maybe 3 for a few nails that have more texture. It dried quickly & has average wear & tear. I was disappointed to discover that the color is very different from the product photos shown. The pictures show a vibrant purple color both in the bottle and on the models' nails. In the bottle in real life, it appears to be a much lighter and more muted shade of purple, having more blue & grey tones than pictured. On my nails it isn't purple at all, it's a muted periwinkle blue. It's extremely similar to Bikini So Teeny for reference. I was looking for a purple & would not have bought this if the photos were accurate, so that's annoying.

Hi there Marie5520! We wish you could see the results you were hoping for with the expressie quick dry color ‘sk8 with destiny’. We describe this color as a bright lilac. The appearance of colors on device screens can vary widely, making it more difficult to determine the actual color (always look for a written description of the color if possible). A muted periwinkle was a very good description of this color, and yes, kind of a slightly more lilac version of ‘bikini so teeny’.

Pretty color

4 years ago
The color itself is pretty and the bottle is a good size, I like both, but the nail polish itself chips really easily, unfortunately. I wonder how many uses I will get out of it. I'm glad it's a softer/brighter color, you know?

yes, I recommend this product.

Hello Summer0528! Thank you for sharing your experience with the expressie quick dry color 'sk8 with destiny'. We wish you could see all the results you were hoping for.

Pretty color.

4 years ago
I am impressed with the color quality of this nail polish. I find that two coats of this polish often leaves my nails looking like they have gel polish on. I do not like how easily the polish chips, so I would recommend using a good top coat.

yes, I recommend this product.

Beautiful color

Such a nice color I actually went to the salon and took this color for my toes! I loved it. Only downside its a bit watery and definitely needs to be coated over and over again. But it doesn't clump or leave a thick chunky finish which I was okay and glad with! It's an over all season color. Summer winter fall ect it's a nice color my recently fav!

yes, I recommend this product.
