Elle writers claim essie geranium is one of the most perfect red nail polishes to exist. 

Southern Living Magazine writes essie geranium was one of the first 10 essie nail colors to hit the market in 1981 and it also is one of the best essie nail polishes of all time.

For summer 2023, in the “Poppy Power” category, Marie Claire ranks geranium as one of the top orangey reds for the upcoming warmer season.

To get an idea of what this color looks like, below are four geranium swatches - 

The formula:

• Glides on smoothly, it’s not too thin or thick

• Is self-leveling, for totally smooth lines out to your nail’s edges

• Even coverage is achievable in 1 coat, albeit more of a jelly finish

geranium is a bright, punchy, red-orange cream that’s a tiny touch translucent. If you have nail tips, they may peek through at certain angles and lighting situations. 

If you love geranium so much you need to expand to another shade for joy-promoting reasons, a similar color to essie geranium is OPI’s Cajun Shrimp. 

They are both coral reds, yet Cajun Shrimp has more pink tones and geranium has more bold, bright orange-red tones.

To end, geranium is a perfect warm summer red, and whether you call it coral, poppy or any other color name, it is positively eye-catching. 

It is a beautiful, bright red. It’s chic, charming and cheerful.

All the hype is justified - it’s a winner.
