i love the color, but the formula is really bad. you need _at least_ three coats for it to look decent. i won't buy this again, because i'm hoping to find a good dupe for it, since life's too short...

Essie Bahama Mama is a beautiful plummy burgundy. I had no problems with the application, it was perfect in 2 coats. Topped with a top coat it lasted until I changed my nail polish a week later.

The color is pretty basic and quite boring. Would no repurchase,

Beautiful color, but this chips like none other. I know a lot of people have problems with essies chipping, however I have not had the same issue EXCEPT with this ONE. I can't even get 24 hours of...

Just love this. The shade is do flattering, it applies well & lasts well. A bit thin maybe? Sometimes I feel it needs 3 coats.

It's a medium-dark purple polish that looks so classy on – I believe – every skin type. The formula is classic Essie and it dries superfast to a glossy finish. It looks perfect even without a top...

My favorite fall color. I use 2 sometimes 3 coats to get a rich deep plum color. The consistency, at least in my bottle, is pretty good. Also, using seche vite over top will prevent chipping and...

Such a beautiful color but on my fingers, it chipped way too fast!

Horrible formula, I love my Essie NP's but this one chips too easily. Also it doesn't look as nice as it does in the bottle.

I really like the colour, but the formula (at least my bottle) isn't great. I find it very thin and almost watery.. It tends to flood my cuticles unless I'm veryyyyy careful. It's not a unique...

This is one of those colors everyone needs to have in her arsenal. It's such a sophisticated deep wine that is so flattering on so many different skin tones. The finish is creamy and I didn't find...

I honestly don't get the bad reviews at all. It's a perfect fall colour, easy to apply and no streaking. It goes on really smooth and one layer could be enough but i like to apply another layer...

Beautiful plummy burgundy shade. This polish is extremely flattering and looks excellent for fall. I recommend 3 coats for opacity. I do find it a tad streaky, but usually it looks so beautiful on...

I had a pedicure done with this a while ago and I loved it. It's gorgeous on - a very dark plummy berry shade. It has a creme finish and is vampy without being too dark for my fair, cool-toned...

The picture above looks nothing like it does IRL ^ It is a deep purple with a berry undertone. This was my first nail polish from Essie and I like it but I don't love it. It can be quite streaky...

Great colour, but slighyly darker and more purple than it looks in the bottle. Lovely consistency and so shiny, especially with Seche Vite top coat! Although needed three coats for solid coverage....

I am an Essie nail polish fanatic, and this colour was on my short list for a long time. I resisted buying this polish due to the bad reviews I had read on MUA. A friend recommended it to me and I...

I agree with the other reviews----the consistency and application of this polish is pretty poor. I gave it three lippies for the color alone, which is gorgeous. But my brand-new bottle applies...

My 2nd favourite colour of all time!! This dark berry plum has so much dimension once painted on. On the edges it just looks like I've dipped my nails into some delicious berry blood LOL I love it!...
