OPI Cajun Shrimp is a best selling OPI color and it’s the best loved coral nail polish color by our readers at the moment. The most popular blog we have featuring this creamy reddish coral is: OPI Big Apple Red VS Cajun Shrimp.

Coral nail colors are one of the prettiest summer nail polish options out there. 

Their warmth, with hues between orange, pink and red, give a very flattering look to any warm season manicure or pedicure. Wearing coral nail polish is like adding summer’s glow to your hands.

If you’re looking for a little bit of coral nail inspiration, below you’ll see swatches of two coral nail polish colors from OPI that are similar to OPI’s best selling coral, Cajun Shrimp.

These are both orange corals, however I Eat Mainely Lobster has a shimmer finish and pink undertones, where Aloha from OPI is a cream finish and it is more dominantly orange.

They are also both so distinctly different from OPI Cajun Shrimp and each other, that it would warrant adding them to your collection, especially if you already have any of these colors.
