Choosing a favorite OPI nail hue is a futile argument, even when limiting the selection to the enduring classics that the brand has refined over the years. Yet, OPI shared a compilation of their top 10 most sought-after nail shades on social media, and it was no shock to see a mix of understated tones and vibrant splashes that are easily identifiable in any salon.
These bestsellers have earned their place at the top for a very good reason—they consistently exceed expectations when selecting a shade. Below are OPI’s top 10 most sought-after nail colors.
Since its introduction in 2001, this delicate nude-pink has rocketed to the top of OPI’s best-selling list, with millions of bottles sold. Any nail technician will recognize it upon request. Its adaptability is unmatched; it straddles the line between pink and nude without leaning too heavily on either side.
OPI’s legendary Funny Bunny collection has cemented white nails as a timeless trend. Introduced over 15 years ago, this hue is not an unyielding paper-white but a soft, milky alternative. It’s a staple for pedicures and complements a neutral palette that isn’t confined to pink.
This translucent, beige-pink is the epitome of understated elegance. It mimics the appearance of natural nails but with added shine and a hint of warmth. Debuted a decade ago, it swiftly became an integral part of the brand’s core collection.
White nails are a staple, favored for their versatility as both a classic pedicure color and the perfect touch for French manicures or nail art. Alpine Snow, a pure white that resists warmth or a cool blue hue, is a member of the original OPI collection launched in 1989.
Big Apple Red is a color that transcends fame, living up to its reputation as the quintessential true red. Since its launch nearly 25 years ago, it has remained the go-to for the perfect red shade, balancing Old Hollywood charm with year-round appeal, from Valentine’s Day to festive gatherings.
Neutrals dominate the list of popular OPI colors, and for good reason—they are as diverse as they are timeless, allowing for a signature shade to be found with ease. This particular sheer pink is delicate and sweet, offering a subtle hint of rose that stands out slightly from Bubble Bath and Put It In Neutral. It’s particularly sought after in gel and dip powder formats at salons.
This warm, sheer pink that leans slightly toward the colorful end of the neutral spectrum is a bestseller, peaking in popularity during the spring and summer months.
Originally a limited-edition color in OPI’s Hello Kitty Collection in 2016, this true pastel pink with its opaque finish became a permanent staple due to its popularity. It offers full coverage that extends beyond the realm of sheer neutrals, making it ideal for pedicures.
Launched in 2019, this sheer beige neutral is a nearly invisible shade that resembles “your nails, but enhanced.” It’s a perfect choice for those seeking a subtle option or a base for nail art.
Among OPI’s neutrals, this opaque hue appears almost like a cream white with a delicate pink hue. It strikes a rare balance that avoids the pitfalls of bright seasonal pastels.
