Dries FAST and looks great
3 years ago
After my first try with Essie’s quick-dry line, I’m never going back to regular polish. I was suspicious of the quick dry claim, but it really did dry COMPLETELY in 2-3 minutes, if that. Essie is my favorite brand of polish, but I don’t paint my nails as often as I’d like because of needing to wait for regular polish to dry. No more waiting! My one concern with this particular shade is that it has a hint of orange compared to how it looks in the bottle. However, still no complaints since it’s such a breeze to use. And maybe I’m just used to cool tones for polish, rather than warm tones. Overall I love it!

Love this neutral pink!
5 years ago
I did my nails and toes in this color yesterday. Love that it went on smoothly and quickly and today it looks so nice! This formulation is quick and easy. Just the 2 layers and not base coat or top coat. I did allow 30 minutes before doing much. The color is a beautiful neutral pink. Depending on how you look at it, it can skew to the warmer peach spectrum or to the more blue pink spectrum. It is a polished soft look for my ivory skin tone.

Pretty color but gooey
6 years ago
I was excited to try this because I’m so impatient to let my nails dry and I’m always needed when my nails are wet. The color is pretty, I’m a warm tone so it looks nice on. I didn’t like the formula, it’s thick and gooey so didn’t go on very smoothly. Not sure if how long it last yet because I just applied it but overall not sure if I’m running out to buy another color just yet.
