As much as I wish I could be one of those chic, cool girls who can’t even name most A-list celebrities—the kind whose personal style was formed in the aisles of vintage shops rather than on Pinterest boards and Instagram pages, and who has no clue what Rhode, Rare Beauty, and Fenty Beauty have in common—that could not be further from who I am. I’ve been celebrity-obsessed since One Direction completely charmed me as an impressionable tween watching The X Factor. As I’ve gotten older, celebrities on glossy magazine covers, in Vogue Beauty Secrets videos, and on red carpets have become my blueprint for what’s “in” when it comes to style, skincare, makeup, and especially nails. In my mind, every awards show is an opportunity to spot the nail polish shades my favorite celebs are wearing. And the number one finding in my sleuthing? Celebrities love OPI nail polish.
Looking for a manicure that celebrities swear by? This is the ultimate celebrity-approved nail polish list: here are the top celebrity OPI nail polish recommendations.
1. Kaia Gerber: Samoan Sand and Bubble Bath
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a photo of Kaia Gerber not looking incredibly put together, and from her red carpet looks to her fabulous street style, there is one constant: a chic nail polish color. One of her favorite OPI nail polishes is Samoan Sand layered with Bubble Bath. It creates the most beautiful, barely there nude that is perfect for everything from brunch with the girls to galas with her beau. If you want a manicure that’s truly on-trend, try this celebrity-approved nail polish combination. I may not be heading to any awards shows soon, but I definitely will be wearing her OPI nail polish combo.
2. Hailey Bieber: Funny Bunny
Hailey Bieber could wear crackle nail polish, and it would immediately be all the rage once again. No one sets a trend like her, especially when it comes to nails. Glazed donut, blueberry, strawberry girl, she’s pretty much covered every aisle of the grocery store with the somehow always food-related nail trends she sparks. We already know from her chrome nails that she loves OPI nail polishes, Funny Bunny being one of her go-tos. Whether she’s wearing it mixed with Bubble Bath and topped with chrome powder, or mixed with a top coat to sheer it out like she is here, all I know is her OPI manicures always look amazing.
3. Jennie: Black Onyx and Big Apple Red
After seeing this celebrity-approved OPI nail polish color, I can confidently say the answer to “Who wanna rock with Jennie? Keep your hair done, nails done like Jennie?” is absolutely “me.” Her cherry cola color combo is perfect for fall manicures. Made with the iconic OPI colors, Black Onyx and Big Apple Red, it’s so easy to re-create at home.

Celebrities love a chic, simple nail, and OPI nail polish always delivers on that. To create a seamless, natural French manicure, Tyla used Put it in Neutral and My Vampire is Buff. It’s perfect for the girls who love a super subtle polish that still looks stunning.
6. Addison Rae: Kyoto Pearl
Chrome nails are one of my favorite nail trends, and OPI has just the color for it. Even better, it’s approved by the It girl living rent-free on our social media feeds, Addison Rae. Personally, I’ll be channeling Aquamarine well into fall with this OPI nail polish.
7. Rachel Zegler: Complimentary Wine
In my book, Rachel Zegler can do no wrong, and her OPI nail polish inspo proves my point. Complimentary Wine is just the moody, fall OPI shade I want to wear the second the temperature drops below 80 degrees. Everybody say thank you, Rachel, for putting us onto this OPI polish.

8. Tracee Ellis Ross: It’s a Girl!
The search for the perfect pink nail polish is officially over. Honestly, I owe Tracee Ellis Ross for introducing me to this OPI nail polish because I’ve been wearing it nonstop lately. It’s just the right amount of color, while still feeling neutral. This soft pink is understated yet chic, a perfect example of celebrity-approved nail polish.
9. Sabrina Carpenter: Alpine Snow
Sabrina Carpenter is keeping her nails short n’ sweet with her OPI favorite polish, Alpine Snow. It’s a classic white shade that, if you want to zhuzh up, you can add some rhinestones, like Sabrina. Either way, this OPI manicure will turn heads.
10. Cardi B: Suzi The First Lady of Nails and Ozitively Elphaba
It may be a few more months until we get to enjoy Wicked: For Good, but courtesy of Cardi B, I’m channeling the Elpheba vibes already. This green OPI manicure conjures visions of fall rainy days spent curled up with a book inside. And with Cardi’s stamp of approval? I’m sold.
