essie is a nail polish brand with several lines. Their expressie line is in a tall, rectangular bottle and it’s their quick dry nail polish line.
“one-step color and shine formula dries in about a minute so you can grab, apply and dry on the fly. Our first ever angled brush for easy self-application with both hands, including your non-dominant hand.”
Of all of the essie lines, and all nail polish lines tested to date, the expressie line is the only one to include a unique angled brush which makes it easier to apply polish with your non-dominant hand and helps improve the speed of application.
Most of the colors are two-coaters and when using this polish, you can usually have a finished manicure in about 5 minutes, if you skip the base and top coat and truly wear it as a one-step color and shine formula.
expressie colors are shiny enough and dry hard enough on their own, that you really do not need a top coat.
Below are swatches of two essie expressie colors:
