Ranked and Reviewed: The Top 10 OPI Nail Colors@OPI / @ellzabethm
When it comes to iconic nail polish colors, OPI is in a league of its own. Their shades have sparked entire nail trends (hi, bubble bath and juicy apple nails), and are constantly spotted on the fingertips of our favorite celebrity nail muses—like Hailey Bieber and her glazed nails, or Kendall Jenner’s classic red.
So, I took on the beauty challenge of ranking the most iconic OPI colors based on shade, cultural impact, and popularity. Over the last 45 years, millions of people have coated their nails in these hues, whether DIYing them with a bottle from the drugstore or sitting in a salon chair with a manicurist creating a custom concoction of colors.
Ahead, the most iconic OPI shades of all time.
