According to Essie this is a "glam red meets shimmery tangerine," which to me looks like a bright orange-red but definitely tangerine! In person this polish color is even more beautiful than the picture suggests (although this picture is very true to life for the color on me). If you are afraid of joining in on the Orange Nail Trend, this is a more universally flattering and subtle way to do it!
This shade does look quite a bit lighter in direct sunlight (as you can see in the inset above), but then you can see the same color shimmer!
