Essence Nail Art Express Dry Drops Review

By Maychiri's Thoughts - March 30, 2023

There’s a ton of reviews for this week, and I will start with a product that has been for sale for years, which is surprising for Essence. These are Essence Nail Art Express Dry Drops
 
 

I figured early on when I started applying nail polishes more frequently that I needed a solution that would make polishes dry quickly. I searched all over Google and found these drops in our drugstores, which had stellar reviews, so I thought that I could start with them.
 
 
 
 
 
 
First, the packaging. This is a small round glass bottle with a white cap with a dropper. The cap thankfully screws tightly so there is no risk of the oil spilling out. The dropper is super precise, and very easy to use. I have no problems dispensing just a single drop on my nails.

Ingredients: sweet almond (Prunus amygdalus dulcis) oil, vitamin E for nourishment. No parabens. So these drops aren’t just useful for drying nail polish, they also help keep the nails nourished. The scent is almost non-existent, being perhaps a tad oily. The expiration date is 30 months after opening.
 
These are colourless drops so that they don’t affect nail polish. The formula is very oily and greasy. It is a bit annoying how oily it is because it doesn’t really dry when it is on skin and stays greasy until you rub it off with a cloth. Although that oiliness does mean that it is nourishing, so it’s both bad and good.
 

 
 
The drops claim to dry nail polish within seconds. I don’t know if it really is within seconds but they definitely do dry polish extremely quickly. A minute after applying them and polish is dry enough that it doesn’t get fingerprints on it when touching it. And about 5 minutes later nails are totally dry. So it works exactly like advertised.

It is really easy to remove with water; just wash it off with a bit of water and that’s it!
 
 
 
 
All in all, these are perfectly good drops to help nail polish dry quickly. They don’t cost a lot and are available pretty much everywhere. They dry polish extremely quickly and at the same time care for nails with the almond oil and vitamin E. The dropper is also really well-made. I have nothing negative to say, really. Recommendation!
