Obsessed with this nail polish

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Obsessed with this nail polish! The color is so pretty and it goes on super smooth. I only needed two coats and it dried pretty fast. It seriously looks like I got my nails done at a salon. Plus, it didn’t chip for like a whole week! Totally my new fave!

Beautiful color!

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a very beautiful color, two coats are enough to cover the nail and give it a beautiful shine. The scent is as usual but nothing strong. I’d use this for a fall vibe even though I don’t mind using this color for summer time.

Beautiful Color

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful deep red color of polish, so flattering on my nails! It dried very quickly also. I can’t vouch yet on how chip resistant it is but hoping it lasts.

Perfect fall color

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live the deep darker shades, so banana mama is straight up my alley. It is a plum color that goes well with any season, but I’ll definitely rock it a little in the fall. Had the typical nail polish scent that lessens after it dries down. Classic Essie packaging with a nice shine, which you can highlight further with a top coat. Smooth and easy to apply. I’m happy with this product.

Beautiful color and long lasting

a year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use to use brand for long lasting it lasts about 4 days on my nails. I haven’t found one that last longer than this brand. For me it is one of the best.

Great product and fun color

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Drys relatively quickly and opacity is pretty great as it only takes about 2 coats. Application is easy too. Doesn’t chip easily and wide shade range.

Perfect for fall

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The perfect color for fall! I am a maroon and burgundy lover when it comes to my nails in the fall. Dried super quick. Has the perfect finish and it’s super easy to remove.

Solid option for normal lacquer

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The color is so bold- and requires just too coats to have solid coverage. It’s chip resistant if you aren’t rough with your hands. A go to color for fall and winter!

Fall Color for me

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this color, i added two coats to be sure that it would be dark enough for me. I like the shade but i feel that for me, it would be more of a fall color. The packaging is easy to open and store so I also like that aspect of it.

Love this color!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Essie nail polish never disappoints! This color is so gorgeous and it holds nicely, too! The application is so smooth and I dries nicely after a bit of time. This color is so perfect and not too bright or too dark. It gives the perfect oomph without being too flashy and is such a lovely color.

Perfect plum color for fall

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very deep plum color that's going to be a staple for me in the fall. There's great color coverage with just one coat and it lasts for a few days. It also dries quickly as well which is a plus.

Classic

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this color! It feels so classy and elegant. I’ve always liked Essie’s applicator brush; I feel like it makes the process even easier. I painted this on my natural nails, and with a top coat, this lasted a while!

Timeless shade, great formula

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a beautiful, timeless shade. The formula applies smooth, dries pretty quick, and is relatively resistant to chipping. I absolutely love the overall look this gives my nails. It’s one I’ll be reaching for again and again. A must have!

Fantastic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this and I want to pay attention to them. I will start by saying that the color is spectacular. I always say that this type of color makes hands and feet look perfect. I liked that with just one swipe you don't need anything else. The drying is super fast and the duration is This is quite a lot for me it's a 10/10

pretty fall color!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really pretty color for fall and opaque even with just one coat. Goes on smooth and shiny. If you follow the proper nail application it does last longer and is more prone to not chip but I never do follow that so I’d say it still lasted a decent time for me.

Perfect for fall!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The perfect fall color! This is a gorgeous deep red. A few layers of this and you’re ready for a fall night out. The brush did make it a little harder to get a thin streak-less coat so I needed at least 3 layers

Not gel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This color turned out a lot prettier in person than I thought it would when just looking at photos. Drying time is annoying to me because I'm used to gel but it's still okay

Great color!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Essie nail polishes! They always have the best shade range. The drying time on this polish is very fast. The color pay off is great! Two coats is all that’s needed. I really love this deep berry color!

Exactly the quality I expect when using an Essie polish!

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always loved Essie polishes and this one is no different! It dries pretty quickly, I don’t get too much chipping the first few days, and the finish is nice on its own but even better with a top coat! The shade is a more purple than it looks on the bottle but I’m not complaining. I love more purple toned reds!

Great Quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This nail polish was super easy to apply and incredibly long wearing. Drying time was average. I love the dark shade and think it’s prefect for the toes. The finish is glossy and deep in color. Super impressed with this formula.

Easy application

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had tried a lot of nail polish before, surprisingly, Bahama mama nail polish did an exceptional job. It is easy to apply and it quickly dry. It is been 2 weeks now since I used it on my nailtoes. The color does not faded immediately.

Bahama mama

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful plum color that is also deep great for people who like dark colors I do not like the color combination of this with the green affect but I love it alone. It drives quickly it stays on a long time and it has a nice shiny finish. Easy to apply and gorgeous coverage

Nice fall color

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent this product in exchange for my honest review. I like that it’s a plum color, suitable for fall, but I don’t get a cream finish as it states in its description. Nonetheless, it is very nice and it longer than I expected without chipping for four days

Great Essie product

2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As expected from Essie, this nail polish has great color and the right viscosity. Easy to apply with a flatter brush. The color is more fit for fall/winter but when used with the special effects color, it transforms even more beautifully.
