gel couture

This is such a pretty color !! And this polish dried instant as long as you have the top coat !

Wow. This stuff is legit! Day 10 & still going. Gel manicures ruined my nails so I will never do them again. But regular polish, even expensive enamel, never makes it to day three. By the second day, it’s chipping and peeling, and looks horrible. I’m just in water too much, using my nails for everything, so it is not worth the trouble. BUT… I put this stuff on and 10 days later it still looked pretty good! It’s unbelievable. It didn’t start really coming off until I took it off. In the picture you can see a little wear at the ends of my nails and around the cuticles, where I picked at it. Also, the color - Perfect Posture, was a little too shockingly white-ish purple (Halloweenie, according to my son and friends), so I mixed in a little of a mauve Essie color called Take Me To Thread, also an Essie gel couture color. Other than prep my nails really well, the only other thing I did was add an extra topcoat on day three, thinking I might be able to get four or five days out of it. I never imagined I would get 10 days! No lie, people. This stuff is a game changer. For the first time since the start of the pandemic, I’m wearing polish again. My new favorite right now is a color called Tassel Free. Also including a picture of that on day 3 after application. (No 2nd topcoat).

Love this stuff! Glossy finish, dries fast, has good staying power!

Perfect green

This is fine, but less pink than the ballet slippers color I'm used to. This one is more white and, curiously, doesn't have the same number as the usual ballet slippers (unless they changed it recently). Still, fresh polish, so does the job.

The color match prefect for what I needed

Not Returnable! Terrible quality. 2 coats of color and 1 clear top coat and every nail tip was chipped by the next day. DO NOT BUY!

I LOVE this nail polish. Firstly, the color was amazing and came out very nicely, secondly I love how long this lasts (with the Essie top coat part two of course). I have been having a hard time looking for a great nail polish that lasts long and wasn’t damaging to the nail and this was perfect. I also absolutely LOVE the brush of the polish. I know that may sound weird but, the brush was amazing and very easy to use while being able to paint the whole nail with color! I do have to say make sure the layers are thin and completely dry before moving on to the next layer ESPECIALLY before putting top coat to avoid smearing.

Absoluter Lieblingslack (nicht nur diese Farbe) Macht die Nägel nicht kaputt, hält super lange und trocknet schnell

The nail polish is really thick ( old?) and does shades. I had another colour from this brand and I keep coming back. Very disappointed with quality of the product.

I have become such a fan of Expressie as it goes on easily, the colours are amazing and it lasts quite well. It may not last as long as some others (base coat, nail polish then top coat) but you need one product and that's it. It doesn't get any better than this. This colour is more transparant that others but I quite like it and will look for more of these.

nice color, fast dry

Diese Reihe von Essie ist für mich der perfekte Nagellack. Ich habe leider hin und wieder brüchige Nägel, die absplittern. Die Nagelhärter aus den Drogerien haben nicht geholfen. Also war ich gespannt, was der von Essie leisten kann. Das Ergebnis ist perfekt ich benutzte keine anderen mehr. Der Nagel wird fester, stabiler (er wächst sogar wieder was vorher durch das permanente Absplittern kaum möglich war) und die Farbe sieht auch gut aus. Man muss sie allerdings 2 mal auftragen, um ein wirklich gutes Ergebnis zu bekommen. Im Freundeskreis wurde ich schon öfter gefragt woher ich den tollen Nagellack hätte.
