The most beautiful nail color ever created

12 days ago
The most beautiful muted berry pink I have ever seen. I’ve been looking for a color like this for years and years. However, the formula is not easy to work with. Essie, please make this color in the regular or gel formula, I’m begging you! The “similar” colors suggested are not similar, and are too bright. If anyone knows of similar colors, please share!

Finally a perfect application!!!

a year ago
I have been waiting for this polish my entire life. Every other brand goes on streaky, uneven, and the brushes are terrible. This is the first and only polish that applies perfectly and evenly. The brush is angled just right and isn't super thick. Not to mention it dries very fast making gorgeous manis a breeze. I will not buy another brand! This stuff is the best!

Love the polish, hate the brush!

I have 3 colors of the expressie polish. I love everything about this formula, except the brush! It's oddly angled and makes it very difficult to get good coverage on both sides each nail even. I don't know why you don't use the awesome wide brush like the ones in your gel couture line. For a quick drying formula, you need to get the paint on the nail quickly but the brush makes that impossible so I'm always left with clumpy, uneven coverage on nails when painting with my non-dominant hand.

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience with the expressie quick dry nail colors. We just wish you could see all the results you were hoping for! Believe it or not, the angled brush was actually included because most users found it was easier for getting the color on fast. (as you note, important for this fast dry formula) We do appreciate hearing that you think the original wide brush would work better for you!

Goes on Smooth, Dries Fast!

I had seen an advertisement for essie's quick dry nail polish and wanted to try it. I was at a store that I thought would carry it and although there were not many colors left, I was drawn to the last "crave the chaos"! I returned home, tried the polish, and I LOVE everything about it!! Love this color!

Perfect bubble gums!

I bought this nail polish yesterday and I am completely amazed. Unfortunately, I did not read the instructions before the use, so I used the bottom coat "Here to stay", then applied 1 "Crave the caos" coat. However, the result was beyond the expectations. Good coverage with only one coat, super quick dry and beautiful color. Just ready to go! Ps. With two coats the nail polish become ticker over the nail. It is preferable to use only one coat.

Great color, AWFUL polish

5 years ago
Picked this up on a holiday weekend, thinking I'd do my nails and be cute as heck at the pool and outdoor dining. Nope. I tried this disaster every possible way: alone on clean, dry nails, with a stick-to-me base coat, with a try-chipping-this top coat, with both, and every. single. time. this nonsense was chipped within an hour. Y'all, I was doing NOTHING. I wasn't washing dishes, I wasn't changing diapers, I wasn't tuning a car or anything. Literally was on the treadmill, no nails involved; went out to dinner, no nails involved; read a book, no nails involved: no matter what, color chipped and flaked. Expressie either had a bad batch or this is trash. Do not buy, save your money and even what little time it takes for express polish!
