essie expressie is essie’s quick dry line.
expressie polishes do not require a base or a top coat, however, you can always add a base coat, for increased wear time and smoothed ridges, or a top coat, for increased wear time and shine.
expressie nail polishes come in taller, more rectangular bottles than the standard essie polishes, which are more squat in shape.
They also come with a slanted brush inside the expressie bottle, which can improve the speed at which you can apply polish with your non-dominant hand.
The slanted brush does allow you to get closer to the sides of the nail, without touching the skin, reducing the amount of time you spend doing cuticle touch ups.
These polishes are truly colors you can apply within thirty minutes of having to get going. You can also throw them in your purse to do your manicure or touch it up once you get to your destination.
We have covered other expressies before on Lots of Lacquer, including now or never, desk mani, precious cargo-go! and don’t hate, curate.
Below you will find swatches of five more expressies to give you an idea of their wear and look.
