schnelltrocknender Nagellack
2 years ago
Ich konnte einen Nagellack von Essie ausprobieren.
Die Farbe heißt “Send a message” und ist ein helleres Rot, schon ein bisschen Rot-Orange.
Der Nagellack lässt sich super auftragen. Der Pinsel ist nicht zu breit, man kann aber trotzdem fast den kompletten Nagel mit einmal erreichen.
Gut aufgetragen reicht schon eine Lackschicht für eine gute Abdeckung. Wer mehr möchte, kann natürlich noch eine zweite Schicht auftragen.
Der Nagellack trocknet wirklich schnell, nur einen kleinen Moment warten und schon kann es losgehen.
Ich finde die Anwendung und den Farbton sehr schön. Diesen Nagellack werde ich auf alle Fälle immer mal tragen.

Love the color

I absolutely loved this color. The polish drys so fast and I only needed one coat. I’m sure with a base coat and a top coat it would last much longer, however without it cracks and chips within a day.

Hi there Rad2014! Thank you for trying out the expressie quick dry color ‘send a message’. We’re delighted to hear this classic, fiery red dried so quickly for you. We just wish you could see all the results you were hoping for. Applied on clean, bare nails, this quick dry nail enamel should look perfect by the second coat (we recommend 2 coats). No top coat needed for a shiny mani that lasts for days.

Classic Red
3 years ago
If you are looking for a classic red polish that will match your classic red lipstick this is the one. The coverage was about 2 coats for a nice full coverage. I did use a basecoat too. The red is a true bright red perfect for the holidays. The polish goes on smoothly and dries in average time. I'm very pleased with it. No clumps or streaks. Just the perfect red manicure.

Nice color

I got this because I needed a nice red polish for a concert I was going to. It’s a good price, but maybe not the highest quality. Would be good for someone new to polish or someone younger. The color was very nice, but it did chip off pretty quickly.
yes, I recommend this product.

Hi there Kylynn18! Thank you for giving new expressie quick dry color ‘send a message’ a try. We wish you could see all the results you were hoping for. This classic, fiery red with black undertones should go on bare nails, no base coat or top coat is used. Each coat should take only about a minute to dry.

My niece and I love this polish! She's only 3 so the fact that it dries so quickly is a plus since she gets distracted easily. Plus you don't need a base or top coat and the polish looks fantastic. I love that they don't test on animals and its a vegan formula. Super easy to apply with the brush. I'm excited to use this red throughout the holiday season! Highly recommend!

Orange red quick dry

Not a fan of the color, it’s a pretty orangey red. Took multiple coats to get full coverage and is very thin, so difficult to apply.

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience with the expressie quick dry color ‘send a message’. We wish you could see the results you were hoping for. This fiery red with black undertones should look perfect by the second coat. Your description of the thin texture does not sound right for this polish. You should be able to swipe on 2 coats easily to get perfect color. Be sure to skip any base coat, and apply the expressie colors to bare nail. Each coat should dry in about 1 minute.

Actually dries quick
3 years ago
I was very happy with this mail polish. It says quick drying on it but most of the mail polish types I have purchased don’t really dry quick with multiple coats. I used this polish and put two coats on. The polish dried quickly, quick enough so that my four year old actually didn’t ruin her nails for once by touching things! Both our nails turned out looking fabulous. Very happy with this polish.

I used this to paint my daughters nails because the quick drying of the nail polished got me hooked!! This stuff dries so fast but still looks great!! It goes on smooth and has a nice shine! I don't think the color depicted online matches as this looks more like a fall colored red. Still a wonderful nail polish color though.

Great Application and Lasts!
3 years ago
Love the color and the application. It’s a true red with a hint of darkness. The application brush has a little curve to it. It makes it easy to paint your nails without getting it on the sides of your finger. It does dry fast so that can be a good thing or bad thing, depending on how fast you apply it. I do 2 to 3 coats but you could only use two coats and be fine. I decided to do dots, so I kind of let my polish dry a little bit on the one I gave do you dots all over my fingers for a creative design. The dots do you take a few minutes to dry of course but that’s OK. As far as how long the polish last on your nails, for reference, I’ve had it on for 24 hours and it has not peeled or scraped off at all. For me that’s a big plus because Finna polish normally doesn’t last long on my nails , no matter how quick drying it is. I love that has not been polish and I’m able to put the layers that I need on it. Definitely be creative with this final polish and take a vantage of the quick drying when you’re thinking about a design. It definitely add texture, tear nails when you do different designs.
yes, I recommend this product.
