"It’s no secret that OPI is the reliable best friend of nail polish. Supporting us through all of life’s epic moments since the ’80s—from weddings, to beach vacations, to nailing that coffee photo—OPI nail polish is tried-and-true for a reason. With long-lasthing, salon-worthy results, beauty lovers swear by the brand’s blend of trendy colorways and smooth application. The brand has had no shortage of cult followings for their witty take on the color wheel—from their soft-pink Bubble Bath to Barefoot in Barcelona and our beloved Cajun Shrimp.
European Wax Center is offering your first bikini, underarm, or eyebrow wax completely free—no strings attached.
If you are a Cajun Shrimp loyalist still grieving their recent formula swap, don’t worry—OPI’s collections are full of new and adored shades to keep you cool and chic all summer long. Across seas of coastal hues, juicy reds, and opaque jelly nails, we have rounded up our favorite OPI nail polishes for summer. Read on for the shades we currently have cart eyes for and where you can buy (or bookmark for your next salon appointment).
From their new ballroom-inspired Make ‘Em Jelly Collection, this blue hue is the perfect touch of summer fun while you manifest that beach vacation.
Any summer weddings on your itinerary? This soft, cloudy pink is great if you love neutral shades, but still want a touch of blush to complement your seasonal wardrobe.
Red is always my go-to color for elevating any look. Simple touches make me feel much more put together, and I specifically love this shade for flirty date nights and summer patio dinners.
Butter yellow is having its moment under the fashion and beauty sun lately. It’s the kind of soft shade that feels lemony fresh and warm-weather ready, but still sleek and easy to pair with your capsule wardrobe.
If you love a subtle and sophisticated look that will go well with every outfit in your carry-on, this gel-like shade is great for keeping you polished and poised for any summer getaway.
A fashionable relative to OPI’s treasured Cajun Shrimp shade, this reef-style orangey-red is rich with tropical undertones and carries just the right amount of spice to liven up breezy summer nights.
If your goal is to feel like a mermaid lounging on sandy rocks at your next beach trip, this shimmery, fast-drying formula is perfect for days in the sun.
This playful pistachio green might be in the running for 2025’s ‘it girl’ neutral. Unexpectedly chic with playful undertones, its color applies as pleasantly as slow summer mornings in an outdoor cafe.
Silver is also experiencing a major moment in fashion for 2025, and I love this cool and sleek shade for summer. It is especially perfect if you have plans to show up and show off at Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour too.
This soft lavender shade is made for the days when you want to feel trendy and seasonal, but are not craving anything overly bold. Pair with a venti lavender matcha latte (we love a theme) and an afternoon stroll at the Farmer’s Market.
Something about these vibrant pink shades always screams summer, and this beet-chic créme is no exception. It’s bold, flirty, and matches my vibe perfectly when holding those strawberry margaritas.
Sometimes, all it takes is a fun shade of pink to liven up my mood, and this sherbet color is sure to do the trick.
This shade’s milky, flawless finish is an expert at elevating that soft linen set, and is great for complementing any skin tone.
This soft, peachy colorway brings just the right amount of sweetness. It’s the perfect shade to accompany the sunset walks and brunch dates we are dreaming of this summer.
