How fast will this polish dry?

expressie is engineered to dry rapidly so you can get back to your day. Under typical conditions, two thin coats of the clear formula set in roughly one minute, reducing smudges and waiting time.

• Quick-dry formula designed for about one-minute set time
• Two thin coats recommended for optimal shine and evenness
• Works well as a finishing layer over other expressie shades

Do I still need base coat or top coat?

No separate base or top coat is required for essie expressie Clear 390; the product is formulated as a one-step system that provides coverage and shine on its own. That said, you can layer it over other colors to boost gloss or protection.

• One-step application—no base or top coat necessary
• Can be used over expressie color to enhance gloss and durability
• Ideal for quick touch-ups and minimalist manicures

How does the angled brush improve application?

• Angled brush follows natural nail curve for fewer strokes
• Flip-and-angle feature for easier painting of both hands
• Helps achieve even coverage with less cleanup

Is this product cruelty-free and suitable for everyday wear?

The expressie line is vegan and formulated without animal-derived ingredients. Its quick-dry, wearable finish makes it a practical choice for daily polish use, layering, or touch-ups between salon visits.

• Compact 0.33 fl oz bottle fits makeup bags and travel kits
