For its chip-resistant, long-lasting polishes, expansive shade range and cheeky names, OPI is one of the, if not the, most well-known and popular nail polish brands in the world. I can stare at the nail polish shelves that line a salon wall for easily 10 minutes. But about 95 percent of the time, I'm picking an OPI nail polish—the formulas simply never let me down.
Since 1981, OPI has churned out best-seller after best-seller. So many OPI collections are still iconic to this day. Even so, some shades have a longer shelf life than others. If I had to beg (and I would), these are 13 OPI colors I hope are never discontinued.
