Pantone's Color of the Year Tangerine Tango has taken the fashion and beauty world by storm. This firey red-orange hue is fantastic for summer manicures and pedicures and has made my top 5 summer nail polish trends list for the second year in a row! While I try not to buy colors that are similar, I adore this color and actually have 5 (!) polishes that are Tangerine Tango-y:

CND Poppyfield (review here)



Essie Olé Caliente (review here)



OPI OPI on Collins Ave



Orly Haute Red (review here) - this color is more red than the others, but I've included it because it's a warm red.

Sephora by OPI Already Famous

Comparisons! OPI On Collins Ave is a touch more orange than Olé Caliente.

Olé Caliente is creamier and more coral than Haute Red. The difference is subtle but if you saw this in person there's no way these colors could pass for dupes.

CND Poppyfield and OPI OPI on Collins Ave are so close my eyes could not tell the difference - I'd call them dupes! Both have excellent formulas.

Some other great polishes that could fill your Tangerine Tango craving are Chanel Holiday, NARS Lal Mirchi, OPI A Roll in the Hague, the Sephora + Pantone Universe Color of the Year collection, and Sonia Kashuk Tango Mango.

Were you Tangerine Tango crazy before we were calling red-orange Tangerine Tango? What is your favorite Tangerine Tango-toned polish?
