Quick-Dry Nail Polishes

Essie's Expressie Polish is Designed to Dry in 60 Seconds Flat

The newly launched Essie Expressie is a collection of quick-dry nail polish products that are designed to dry in 60 seconds. The colorful nail polish products are packaged in a brand-new bottle style that's slim and paired with a new patented brush design that's wider and angular to support fast, precise product application.

The quick-dry nail polish colors are made with solvents and dry to a finish that's not quite glossy or matte. The 40-shade nail polish collection is full of Gen Z-targeted shades like the sparkly magenta Mic Drop-It-Low, mocha Cold Brew Crew and pink Crop Top & Roll. Essie calls its newest collection of nail polish products a selection of "Season-less, unconventional colors [that] create a broader reach in gender neutrality."
