I've been lusting after Essie Cantaloupe for a while, tried to swap in vain, and finally pulled the eBay trigger. So glad I did! I've never liked cantaloupe the fruit - I call it 'the icky orange melon' - but I am loving Cantaloupe the polish!
I never thought anything so orange could look this decent on me! I feel like this should be a part of my "Quest for Coral", but what it really is is a soft melon - it is a little bit muted, but bright and punchy enough to stay out of Grandma territory. It's a juicy summer colour and definitely has that zest I've been craving recently. Plus, I got more than a few compliments on it! (Hi Eleanor, if you're reading this!)
I think I've changed my mind on this 'icky orange melon' - it's quite delicious!
Are you supporting your team with a mani right now? Are you cheering for Holland (Yay!) or Spain (Boo!)?

Tkank you for writing about this color!
I am rooting for Spain in the final (longtime fan here) but I am very very glad and happy for the Netherlands - they've truly gone beyond everyone's expectations.
Lovely colour, I like this on you. This is untried for me but I'm tempted to break this out after seeing your photo. :)
This looks really pretty on you! Oh, and Hup Holland Hup! ;)
I am Austrian but before I moved to the US I lived in the Netherlands for 7 years, so I am all team Holland. I am wearing Orange Marmalade on my toes and I will also be wearing OPI Atomic Orange for the final.
I think you need to go much more orange!!
I really love this color! looks fab on you!
Ahh, I hate sports but most of my family is from Spain so I guess if I were following I'd be going for espannaaa ;P
ah I'm also on a request for the prefect coral.
But this is so cute. it's not a discontinued color is it?
I think you've found the coral! This one is perfection!
hahha i read dutch as easy as english, but oranje boven is not really a common saying :)
hup holland hup!
nice color ;)
Cute color! Most of my friends here lost interest in the world cup after Brazil and Argentina lost!! Being half Dutch I hope Holland wins ;)
Netherlands all the way!
I was so very disappointed that Germany lost to Spain. I was hoping for a Netherlands-Germany game. I lived right near the border for almost four years, and have a lot of love for both countries.
@sonidlo - You're most welcome - I am really loving it!
@bellebathandbeyond - Blasphemy!! However, I have to respect long-time fans :) Definitely break out this colour - its a winner!
@Michelle - Wooo! Go Oranje!!!
@Aline - Where in Holland did you live?? This is sadly the most orange polish I have! My lucky polish for the Dutch is DS Glow so I'll probably be wearing that again for the game...but I will also be in a crazy orange outfit from head to toe!!
@Oh my Polish - Thank you!! And I highly suggest you change your allegiance! If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much!
@milan and vanaily - I haven't seen this colour at Ulta, but it is on the Essie website so I don't think its discontinued!
@Piff - Yes!! The more I look at it the more I think the same thing! I am so happy I have this one!
@Crystaliciouss - Oranje boven definitely isn't a saying - imagine I was singing it in the title!! You know the song everyone yells on Koninginnedag? Woo Hup Holland Hup!!
@tasha - Yes! Another vote for Holland!! :)
@Apriltini - I was so disappointed as well - my mother is German and she was very sad! But a Dutch-Germany final would be very hard for my family to deal with!! So you speak Dutch and German?

I lived in Amsterdam and later in Delft. I miss it a lot. Also my dad is German so I was rooting for Germany too but more for Holland.
wow wow so pretty a color..!
I think I'm probably going to go for Amsterdam.. I have an aunt that lives there.. and although it's not Amsterdam.. I lived in Copenhagen for a summer.. and it was awesome... I love that northern euro city life. Trying to figure out how to move/live over there.
@Aline - You and I have similar allegiances!
@Pretty - Thank you! I also really miss northern euro city life...badly...

Hup Holland Hup! Congratulations Oranje! Total Football!
I used to understand a bit of German, but never took the time to learn. Hanging around military bases in Germany, often I'd start off in German, and the shopkeeper would answer in English, so I gave up. :D You can always spot the American. lol
Hup Holland Hup! I´m rooting for the Dutch, being Dutch myself :D And it's a lovely colour :)
@April - Yay!!! Thanks for the support!!!
@Apriltini - Ahhh so you're an Ami! Didn't know that! I always think its hilarious when they answer people in English...I was in France with some American friends once, and my French is *horrific*, but they answered me in French in stores. My American friends who spoke beautiful French were greeted with English responses. The difference? Clothes. I wore nice pants, a trench and a handbag. Them: white sneakers, jeans, hoodies and backpacks. Easy marks!
@caligoangelus - Woo another Nederlander!! And thanks I love this colour!

Lovely shade. I also love the fruit. Sorry you didn't win.
