There's only one colour that I've been reaching for this Autumn, and that's the stunning Bahama Mama by my favourite nail polish brand, Essie. This rich deep plum has a beautiful glossy finish and is perfect for the Autumn months. And its mix of red and purples means it matches every outfit.
I started with Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Hardener as a base coat. My nails are quite flaky and since I've started using this as a base coat, they've become so much stronger and I get days extra out of a manicure. I then applied two thin coats of Bahama Mama, but you could easily get away with one coat if you were in a rush, before applying the one and only Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.
I generally get 3-4 days before chips start appearing and I get compliments on the colour every time I wear it. I can definitely see this shade transitioning over to the Winter months and it would be gorgeous for the festive party season!
