Maybelline Express Finish Nail Polish

I brought a beautiful limited addition Cobalt Blue 2 days ago. The first coat dried super quick, I needed a second coat to obtain the darkness that I wanted and that coat dried quick too. I did not have any issues with smudges at all which is a new thing for me! I have had this colour on for 2 days now and only have one tiny chip which only occurred after i tripped and smashed my fingers against the deck lol I did not use a top coat as I like to test me new polishes out without a top coat first to see how long it will take to chip. I will defiantly buy more as I so far very happy with my experience with Maybelline Express Finish. Would recommend as well :)

I have an active toddler who doesn't sleep much, so I need a quick drying nail polish just in case I have to drop what I'm doing and run! This is the fastest drying polish I've tried and yes, it did dry within 50 seconds, even with two coats. It goes on easily and gives a smooth, shiny finish and has a great range of colours at a reasonable price. Lasts without chipping for a couple of days with my workload e.g. housework, toddler, etc. I just love that I can use this and go, without having to set aside specific time to paint and dry my nails.

I have this in many different colours and am quite impressed. It does dry much quicker than other polishes however it is definitely longer than 50 seconds. It goes on easily, and its chip rate is about the same if not marginally better than most other brands.

This polish provides a really nice finish and has some really delicious colours. It definitely dries fast which is good when you want to add some embellishments on top!

Loooove this nail polish!!! Dries super fast which is handy when I'm running around after a toddler and caring for my newborn. Seems to last a lot longer before it starts chipping. Gorgeous colors too

This nail polish definitely dries quicker than most other polishes I have tried. Though it needs a bit longer than 50 seconds to fully dry and prevent a textured look when you accidentally touch your clothes. It is hard wearing however and I can go 4-5 days before it starts chipping.

The downside is that it is quite thin so you can see the brushstrokes - so three coats is better than two.

I have this nail polish in the "Ruby Star" shade which is a lovely reddish purple colour, with a metallic finish. I would buy this nail polish again in another shade if I saw it on special.

I grabbed a couple of these during my last clearance bin rummage $4 each couldn't resist.

My first thought when I began to apply this polish was I don't like this brush, the bristles seem a little stiff & small. I can't get an even first coat without a base coat, this polish formula is a little on the thinnner side and likes a smooth surface to begin with otherwise the first coat is patchy.

This polish does dry really fast, the first coat I find dries in around about 1 minute while a second coat takes a few more minutes to dry. The pigment of these polishes is dense and wear-wise I think it's pretty standard 2-4 days before obvious chipping occurs.

Overall quality I would say this polish is on the better side of average, I wouldn't pay the RRP $12.99 for these but I would grab a few more if I spotted them on sale again.

I purchased this from Postie plus a while back and ever since it has been my favourite nail polish! It definitely dries a lot quicker than my other polishes, and I love the colour range! Currently I just have this polish in the shade 'pink shock' but it's such a lovely shade of pink, probably one of my favorites by maybelline. I find myself quite often thinking my nails are dry with this polish, and then accidently smudging them on my clothes or something else :(

Waiting for my painted nails to dry was the most boring task ever because if it wasn't dried completely, it may smudge and go all over the place. Maybelline Express Nail polish is my go to whenever I'm in a hurry as it dries out really quickly and I can get on with my daily task. It comes in a wide range of color selections and the color pay off is extremely good. The greatest thing is that the polish stays on and doesn't chipped for at least two weeks. Painting my nails has become a breeze after discovering this amazing product.

I was lucky enough to receive this in a parcel from a friend. The Mocha Blast shade is a great deep burgundy red, almost black which I really love.

The bottle is a glass bottom with a grey top. The lid is quite short so it makes it hard to hold onto when using it. The brush itself is quite thin and flat. I find it quite difficult to use as it doesn't spread on the nail. That means that I end up doing more passes on the nail to get the colour across. It does dry quite quickly though which is a plus, especially when I needed to do three or so coats. The finish is quite glossy which is great. I don't know if the 50 second claim is completely true but I do think it is super quick compared to some of my other products (heres looking at you OPI). I'm a lot more impressed with this than I thought I would be.

The lasting power of this is pretty good. It lasted on me around three days until I started to notice wear on the tips, this was without top coat which I thought was pretty impressive.

If I saw a good deal on these I would be tempted to buy more!
