Geranium

Lovely. Vibrant. Fun. This award-winning red-orange nail polish is playful and simply gorgeous. Go ahead, try not to smile. It's impossible.

  • FLAWLESS COVERAGE: Achieve a flawless manicure by applying 2 coats of polish. Apply a thin 1st coat, and while the polish is still tacky, follow with a 2nd coat.

    SALON-QUALITY FORMULA: Essie original nail polish provides a salon quality, vegan formula for flawless coverage.

    EASY GLIDE BRUSH: Our exclusive easy-glide brush allows for quick, even professional application on nails.

    ENHANCE YOUR MANICURE: A base coat and top coat are recommended to enhance the wear of your manicure. A base coat can prevent chipping and nourish your nails. A top coat will make your manicure dry faster, last longer, and create a shinier finish.

    - First, apply 1 coat of your favorite essie base coat.
    - Then, apply 2 coats of essie nail polish.

Best Summer Red Ever!!!

11 months ago
Essie Geranium is the best red for summer days. An orange red that is the right amount of brightness for summer pedicures. I wear it on my toes from Memorial Day thru Labor Day. It's beautiful on fingernails as well. I never get tired of it and have worn it for years....over twenty. It's a classic.

This is my perfect classic red

2 years ago
If you're looking for a red that's bright but not too bright, doesn't pull too orange or too blue and makes you feel like you're both on-trend and old Hollywood classic at the same time, this is it. Bonus: It's an instant mood booster.
Q: goes great with this shade
A: glossy top coat is a must
