This Essie Expressie nail color is gorgeous! It's a bright blue - that honestly reminds me of a rival school to my team in college - and it's completely outstanding and beautiful. I wish, though, it didn't chip so easily.

Not great
2 years ago
I normally enjoy Essie products, but this formula is awful. I tried numerous times to apply the polish evenly and every time it looked splotchy. It was a waste of time and effort. Totally shocked because I thought the brand could do no wrong. I couldn't even wear it out in public. Would not recommend. Did like how the applicator felt in my hand.

Easy to use

I love how easy it is to use. I did shake the bottle a little bit to make sure it’s all mixes great. I then applied one coat to my toes. I did dip a few times while doing my toes. I did apply another coat after the first one dried. Overall; very easy to use.

I loved everything about this nail polish. From the shade of blue to how jncredibly fast it dried. It only took 2 coats and my nails looked perfect. I've had this same polish on for over a week now and not a single chip or smudge in sight...it's as if I just painted them minutes ago. I will be purchasing other shades of Essie's Expressie nail polish, but especially this lovely shade of blue (Word on the Street).

This dries fast but doesn’t stick to my nail as I like. As soon as I do a minimal thing of cleaning or anything it peels of. I don’t recommend it.

I received a free nail polish from #sopots the color I chose was like a powder blue. The color was very vibrant but light and so beautiful. I love that it dries quick and for a light blue it was light and pigmented. I will definitely buy this nail polish from Essie called Expressie.
