OPI nail polish is widely known for fun and playful shades and has long dictated nail trends. A fun fact about OPI is that it stands for Odontorium Products Inc. and, until 1989, it used to produce dental products. However, they changed to nail polishes and quickly became known worldwide. The company has already collaborated with several celebrities such as Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Gwen Stefani, and Selena Gomez. In 2021 Kerry Washington is the brand ambassador, and you can check for a fun fact about this collab below. Besides celebrities, OPI has also collaborated with several companies, producing collections with The Muppets, Coca-Cola, Dell, and many others.
That being said, which are OPI‘s most iconic nail polishes? They are all very different, and every one of them comes with its own story.
OPI I’m Not Really A Waitress

This has now inspired her to create the shade I’m Really An Actress in her own OPI collection.
OPI Lincoln Park After Dark

Nowadays it’s actually unthinkable to imagine a fashionable office without dark nail polish.
