Festive Holiday Red that was ready in a flash
2 years ago
This is a great festive holiday red with a nice shine. I was please with the application and the dry time, especially since I did my nails moments before my company holiday party. This was a hit!

Great colour, bad formula
4 years ago
I bought this Expressie nail colour a few months ago and found it to be a very thick lacquer, making it very difficult to get a nice and smooth application of colour. This also meant that the end result wasn't smooth. At the time I thought that it must be a "dud" and that I was just unlucky to get that one.
2 Days ago I decided to chose to buy a different Expressie nail colour, hoping that it wouldn't have the same issue. Unfortunately I was wrong and I find the Expressie nail colours to be a complete disappointment.
In both instances of buying the Expressie nail colours, I very much loved the colour of the nail polish, but I won't be purchasing any Expressie nail colours again and I certainly don't recommend it.

Hi there MargeauxB! Thanks for sharing your experience with the expressie quick dry color 'seize the minute'. We can see this wouldn’t be the result you were hoping for. In fact, the description of the texture for your 2 polishes sounds wrong. The expressie colors should flow onto the nails as easily as any nail color. By the second coat your color should be perfect and your manicure dry in about a minute.

Great for on the go!

Bought this on my lunch break and was able to paint two coats and let them dry before going back to work. It chips easily but dries so fast that you can easily touch up. Perfect for last minute or on the go. The brush is awesome too!

Long Lasting
6 years ago
I received EXPRESSIE - SEIZE THE MINUTE nail polish from PINCHME for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I was quite impressed with the smooth application and coverage achieved with only one coat. When the polish lasted 5 whole days before beginning to chip, I was totally converted. I have since purchased several different colors in this polish. I completely recommend it.
yes, I recommend this product.

Very vibrant
6 years ago
This color is not only beautiful, but also vibrant. It applies with ease, and is easy to remove. To avoid staining your nails I suggest applying a clear coat and allowing it to dry before adding your red. The brush is soft which allows even coats to be applied.
yes, I recommend this product.

AMAZING, PLEASE MAKE MORE COLORS!
6 years ago
I am going to spam every color with a 5 star review to make up for my first 3 star review:
I originally bought a very light color that needed several coats to get the desired effect. I ended up loving the wider angled shape of the brush and the quick drying effect so much that I went back and bought every color. This is the holy grail of nail polishes. Perfect for folks who want to get a quick mani in before work or a night out. Please forgive me lovely Essie people for my previous 3 star review. This product get all my love, please make more colors and I will continue to shout my adoration for 'Expressie' from the mountaintops!

Love/hate
6 years ago
I was so excited to see a quick dry polish. I’m horrible at waiting for polish to dry and always end up with smudges. It did dry in under 2 minutes but sadly it chipped within hours. The color selection is very limited and I’m hoping they add more colors soon. Despite the chipping issue I’ll definitely buy it again.

Hi there NIkk! Thank you for letting us know what you found when using the new essie expressie in the shade "seize the minute". We would be unhappy too if our beautiful manicure did not hold up as it should. This quick dry nail enamel needs no base coat or top coat. Just do 2 coats of color and your mani dries in about a minute. Be sure to apply to clean nails that have not been near water in the past 30 minutes and have no residue from oils or moisturizers. For now its available in 40 unique, fun colors but we hope to have more shades to choose from soon!

Formula needs improvement
6 years ago
Essie is one of my favorite brands of nail polish so I was super excited to try their new line of fast drying polish "expressie". I recieved the color "seize the minute". It is a beautiful deep red with blue undertones. The color is a flattering red that would work well with all skintones.
Application was super easy, the angled brush really helps in applying the polish quickly and efficiently as it hugs your nail. Drying time is super fast. 2 coats and 30 to 60 seconds and you're good to go.
Unfortunately, the formula needs work. My polish chipped that same day. I had to use a top coat to prolong wear time but even then, by day 3, it began to chip again.
I don't want to trade wear time for dry time.
no, I do not recommend this product.

Hey there Brianna! We appreciate you giving the essie expressie in the shade "seize the minute" a try. We would be unhappy too if our beautiful manicure did not hold up as it should. This quick dry nail enamel is a one-step color and shine formula. No base coat or top coat is needed, just 2 coats of color and your mani dries in about a minute. To avoid chipping, be sure your nails have not been in water the hour before you do your mani and be sure all residue from oils and moisturizers are gone. Going over the nail bed with your remover is the best way to be sure the surface is perfectly clean and ready for nail color.

Dies dry quick but also chips quickly
6 years ago
I tried Expressie nail polish in color Seize the Minute. I like the color, it's a deep tones red. I do love how quickly this polish dries. I have used it only for that reason because I was in a hurry. But this stuff chips the same day you apply it. I have tried both with and without a base coat and either way it chipped badly. I'm in the fence because I really do love that it dries so quickly. But is it worth it if I have to re-apply daily.
no, I do not recommend this product.

I recieved this from PINCHme. So glad that I did! I've tried this off and on for a while now and really like it. I keep going back to it. The color is beautiful and doesn't fade. This lasts me about a week, whereas regular polish lasts about a day or two. I filed my nails, cleaned/dried hands, and applied. Dried super fast!
no, I do not recommend this product.

Super speedy drying

Ok so...upon opening the bottle I love the angled brush. And as I brushed the beautiful color on my fingernail (it only took one coat) it dried soooo fast. I was totally blown away. I’m so impatient and I freaked when I touched something...no worries it was already dry!

I was really happy with the new Expressie nail polish. The color I tried was seize the moment and it is a true tomato red. I don't normally go for red nails but I really loved this shade! The nail polish has a nice shine to it, drys fast and is actually chip resistant.

I received a free sample of the new Expressie nail polish from PINCHme. I tested it on my daugherts nails mixed with a different brand of polish (she wanted rainbow nails). The Expressie polish dried the fastest and has held up the longest. The other colors have already peeled on while the Expressie polish has held on. Highly recommend this product.
