Painting nails requires a lot of practice and patience. In addition to applying the nail polish precisely, you must also wait (it feels like a few hours) for the nails to dry out. If you are a person with a busy schedule, such as Hilary Duff, you probably don't have a lot of time to sit down and wait for them to do so. This may be the reason why the actress, singer and mother of three children have been using Essie Expressie nail polish.
She shared a photo on Instagram showing her two-tone nail art made with the brand's quick-drying nail polish. Duff chose We Don't Mesh (a vibrant lime green) and Millennium Momentum (a soft neutral beige from the Dial It Up series). Obviously, she really likes lacquerware and even collaborates with Essie.
"These @essie expressie nail polishes are important 💅🏻🤍💛 #essiepartner I have been wearing the shades of the'dial it up' series, and it dries in about a minute!" She captioned the photo.

The vegan eight-free formula is a one-step nail polish, which means it does not require a primer or top coat. Just apply two coats of color and let it dry for about a minute or so and voila! It uses a taller and thinner bottle than ordinary Essie nail polish, and is equipped with a slanted brush, making it easier to paint even with non-dominant hands. Essie Expressie nail polish can be purchased at Ulta, Target, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and Amazon for $9 per bottle.
Duff is not the only celebrity who likes Essie. According to reports, Queen Elizabeth has been using the brand's pure pale pink ballet slippers since 1989, and even Kate Middleton became obsessed with it-the Duchess of Cambridge put it on her nails on her wedding day. Blake Lively also wore several different Essie colors during the 2018 film news tour.
In fact, more than 5,300 Amazon shoppers gave Essie Expressie nail polish a five-star rating, and critics praised its drying speed and duration.

A customer wrote: "This is the only nail polish I have used that makes me feel successful." "It dries very fast and is very hard, so I can apply nails quickly without breaking after half an hour They. Shiny shades require some effort to remove, but I find all polishes are the same. In general, I highly recommend anyone who works hard to make nails on their own, or just can’t sit down and use their hands when the nails are dry Be a man for an hour."
Another person interrupted and said, "I can go from just applying nail polish to changing diapers in five minutes. It does not chip more easily than ordinary polishes, it is super easy to remove, and most importantly, for busy moms like this. In terms of this, it's just a step "I." My only criticism is that the colors on the Internet are indeed slightly different from the actual ones, but I am happy to polish my nails again, so I really don't care. I will definitely order more colors! "
