essieexpressie, Quick-Dry Nail Polish, 8-Free Vegan, Translucent Pink, Mall Crawler, 0.33 fl oz

The description said this was a deep purple but it's more of a dark cranberry. Gorgeous color! Love the angled brush and that color dries in under a minute. The Expressie line never disappoints.

The color is great and it's easy to put on. The polish doesn't last too long on my nails, most of them don't, but comparing it to others, I like it.

I bought the shade Mall Crawler, which is a sheer jelly polish in light pink. It has a translucent finish. One coat gives just a hint of pink and subtle shine, while two coats are more deeply pigmented but still sheer. The polish really does dry quickly, and it's easy to apply and fairly self-leveling. I love it. If you're looking for a subtle sheer pink shade, this one is great.

The media could not be loaded. I got 4 other colors and haven’t tested the blue or green yet but i’m not loving this 205 mall crawler , it looks beautiful and i thought it would be more vibrant but it’s a very washed out watery looking light pink . It does dry fast but chipped for me in two days with the white color. I had to layer twice with a thick amount to get this color. If your into unnoticeable lightly pink tinged nails, you will like this color. If you expected more of a pop , skip this color

This is by far the BEST polish I have ever used. That being said, if you're new to this - you need to apply two coats, and you need to do so QUICKLY. The express means it'll dry quickly, which is awesome, but if you wait to do your whole hand and then come back, it'll be clumpy and not look cute. I do two fingers at a time, and then go back for a 2nd coat on those two fingers before moving on. That avoids clumps, at least for me. Also, a clear top coat helps smooth it out and makes it look like a professional finish.

Polish is quick drying and sheer, which makes it useful if you don't have a lot of time and want a little shine to your nails. If you are looking for pink, be aware that this has very purple undertones to it and will need multiple coats before you can see color. Unfotunately, it doesn't wear well and you will definitely need a top coat for polish to last a few days.

Normally when polishing my nails, the polish will start chipping within first day-thats why I like the lighter colors. Even when getting a manicure, the next day the polish starts chipping or wearing off. (It always amazed me for others to have their manicures lasting so long!) Now Essie expressie? For me, still looks great after 1 day and no touch up needed even after day 2. Woohoo!! Two coats are the magic number for me. On day 3, I can get by but will usually need to remove and re-apply. I use a plant-based nail polish remover and polish comes off easily. My nails are short and I've started using Vit E oil to help moisturize when not wearing polish. I will be checking into other colors of Essie expressie and looking forward to seeing how they work too!!

I missed the memo that Mall Crawler was sheer, so if you’re looking for mega translucent - here ya go. The photo appeared opaque and bubblegum pink - it’s definitely much more muted, purple-y, mauve. Not at all bubblegum. As with all ExprEssie polishes - dries quickly and moderately sturdy and comes off easily with acetone based remover. However, it’s ultra sheer and not nearly as pink as pictured. Tried to return, as it listed as returnable. It’s a third party seller who ignored my request and denied returns. Buyer beware! I do not recommend this seller.
