How fast will this polish be dry and ready to wear?

expressie is formulated to dry in roughly one minute after application, making it ideal for busy routines and quick mani refreshes. Dry time will vary slightly by ambient temperature and coat thickness, but the fast-dry chemistry minimizes smudging compared with traditional lacquers.

What makes the angled brush different and easier to use?

The bottle includes essie’s first angled brush designed for ambidextrous control, so you can paint both hands neatly without struggling. Flip the brush to change the angle and reach cuticles and edges more precisely, reducing touch-ups and clean-up time.

• Angled shape conforms to nail curvature for smoother strokes
• Designed to assist application with your non-dominant hand
• Flip-and-angle feature for customizable precision

Do I need a base coat or top coat with this formula?

expressie is promoted as a one-step color, so you can use two coats on clean nails without applying a base or top coat. For extended wear or added shine, you may opt to add a compatible base or top coat, but it isn’t required to achieve full color coverage or quick dry performance.

• Two coats over clean nails recommended for best opacity
• No base or top coat required for everyday use
• Add a top coat if you want extra gloss or longer wear
