essie Nail Polish, Expressie Quick-Dry Nail Color, Vegan, Word On The Street, Blue, Word On The Street, 0.33 fl oz

Second Hand First Love is a really nice color. It’s a neutral that will go with most other colors. It’s not the vibrant pink displayed, but does lean more pink when seen in natural light (outside). Inside, it reads more pinky-beige. Dries fairly quickly. It takes more than 1 minute, but no more than 5 minutes which is drastically quicker than regular polish. The polish I received is fresh - not extremely thin and not thick. It’s the sweet spot in between that goes on very smoothly. Coverage is good. For a lighter color, two coats did the trick. It also has a nice shine. My pictures show only the polish, no top coat. I’ve used Essie Expressive Nail Polish for years and love it.

Love the shade, good price, good coverage, low odor, easy to use, fast dry time, glitter is nice,

Such a beautiful color! It’s giving the perfect clean girl fall vibes. Matches the description perfectly! It also dries very quickly. I was literally able to put it on and then immediately go cook dinner and I have zero smudges. Will definitely purchase more colors.

Love this nail polish, but the color is not as bright as pictured. I was wanting a brighter blue, but overall love all their polishes.

Superb quality! Easy application, opaque color, long wearing and super fast drying! I need to order more from this "expressie" line. I'm just now discovering it.

Good color, thin texture, very nice consistency. Fast drying.

Color is not as expected. Not as vibrant of orange. Disappointed, wish I could return it.

Great color

The performance of the polish is awesome. It dried pretty much instantly and still looks good one day later. But the colour is NOT accurate on the photos. I thought I was getting a brightish raspberry red that would look good on my cool skin. It ended up being like a dark, flat red with a brownish tone to it?! And I can’t return it :(

This is my favourite Essie colour. I love this old blue shade, it’s classic and easy to wear. It applies really smoothly, dries fast, and doesn’t streak. I always use it with the Essie clear top coat and it lasts about 1 to 1.5 weeks on me without chipping, which is great for regular nail polish. I’ll definitely buy it again.

very easy to apply and express to impress (fast dry) is the perfect mint green in only one coat. I will be trying more colours.

i have always loved essie products so i was really excited to see this quick dry option! i decided to try out the take the espresso colour from the expressie line - and absolutely loved how rich it was & how fast it dried. the best part: 1 coat was fine, but the 2nd coat added the gloss and shine that i love of all essie nail products. i found it very easy to use too. the brush is thick enough that it coated my nails easily and i also enjoyed the colour with one coat. i had my nails done for a week with minimal chipping - so i did rate it high with longevity. this picture is without top coat and i wouldn’t say it applies for a sheer look. this polish is thick and i like that look - i don’t like sheer nails so it was perfect for me. i’m excited to try more colours and really mix up designs next time i paint my nails . ps in terms of time: about 20 seconds flat for nails to dry!

Love expressie, but i would advise to look up pictures of the shade you want online before ordering. I always do that so that I’m not negatively surprised. Sadly, a bunch of Essie shades don’t match their online photos, but they’re very nice if you pick them knowing what they’ll be!
