Awful. Avoid!

essie.co.uk/Why did this make my nails take way longer to dry, to the point I just took it off and started again? The oil is a sensory nightmare too if you have sensory issues. I'd avoid altogether and find a quick drying base coat instead.
Buy It - It Works!

essie.co.uk/First time trying the drops - huge fan, highly recommend! For me to leave a review, that means the product genuinely blew me away. I usually use the essence nail spray and wanted to try these drops as I couldn't understand how this could possibly work and while I love the essence spray, I think I might love this even more... I should say I get my nails done every 3 weeks so I'm not using this for your usual at-home manicures, but I might add on a little decoration at home which I then seal with a top coat & also apply the top coat to the rest of my nails, or I might do another top coat if I feel like I need more shine. All this to say, I am starting with very dry nails. I have also used these drops on my toes, which I do myself - from scratch - and it worked just as well. But toenails are easier to leave to dry because we're not using them to do anything after they're painted so they can be left alone. I don't recommend the application method on the box/bottle - do not apply after every layer. Apply your base coat, nail polish coats, top coat and leave them for about a minute to 'dry' in between layers and then apply this at the end. I applied as a cuticle oil and positioned my nails so gravity can pull the oil down onto my nails, and also applied it as a cuticle oil and a few drops on one of my nails to see if it made a difference - made no difference, both methods still dried my nails so quickly! I checked ~1-5 mins after application as I was nervous but had to see if it worked and my nails were DRY. Not tacky whatsoever, completely smooth. I also love the shine it gives my nails after application, makes me feel salon-fresh!
Not what I expected

essie.comI love Essie Products! The nail drops intrigued me as I am often impatient when it comes to allowing my nail polish to dry. Although I was slightly disappointed as it didn't seem to make a difference (I followed the instructions).
Not sure how I feel about it

essie.comI never write reviews but I've had to paint my nails twice in the last two days because literally in a day my nails are already chipped with using these drops. I've never had that problem before. I used the top coat and red polish from Essie and didn't use the drops today and will see if they hold up longer (as they should because I've never had this issue). For the price of all the products I have from Essie this is disappointing, it's not cheap. I was applying it to the nail after the top coat so next time I'll use them before the top coat.
Amazing

essie.comI love this product so much! I'm glad I bought and tried this because I wasn't too sure they worked. The drops actually dry your nail polish immediately. 5 out of 5!
Meh

essie.comIt would quick dry, but it would always cause my color to bubble. Once I stopped using the oil I switched to one of the quick dry top coats and it works much better. I also wasn't a fan of how the oil would get everywhere and smudge on furniture. Didn't finish the bottle, wouldn't buy again. Speed Setter and Good to Go are much better alternatives.
Confidence after drops

essie.comLove these drops. I haven't tried to apply drops between each coat as the drops are oily and goes against everything I know bout painting nails. But I applied my Essie all in one base and top then my Essie polish then my top coat and drops I waited 5 min and they are still a bit tacky but hey better then nothing. Also my drops did NOT come with dropper I called customer service and they hung up or call was disconnected I'm not sure. Any help with a dropper would be great. Over all Essie is my go to and only polish I use.

essie.comThis will be my first time using Essie Quick-e. I've been using Sally Hansen which comes with a brush by the way. After reading some of the comments I get the impression that this product needs to applied after EVERY coat of base coat, polish and top coat. Is that correct? It doesn't specify on the box.
Works well

essie.comThis quick drying drop is easy to use and works well overall, it does help my nails dry faster than normal. However, the application was a little messy since it is a dropper so you have to aim it well and hope it'll run and cover the entire surface of your nail. Also, it's oil base so you will need to put a tissue under your fingers to prevent it from getting all over. It's still a good product when you want your nails to dry fast.
happy nails
