Overview
A busy morning, a commute or a desk break is where this essie expressie clear polish fits, drying in about a minute after two coats. The angled brush works with either hand, and no separate base or top coat is needed.
Quick drying with a brush you can use on both hands makes neat nails possible in a few minutes. As a clear shade it adds shine, not color.
Who it's for

Performance notes
Drying speed comes from a thin, quick setting formula, so two light coats dry far faster than thick layers. The angled brush makes it easier to paint the dominant hand without smudging.
