They may not realize it yet, but I do—this is set to be the coolest nail color for summer.
Let me set the scene. It's a bright Saturday in London; you're enjoying the outdoors at your favorite bar with friends, a spicy margarita in hand, and your nails freshly done. It doesn't get much better than this, right? So, what nail color did you choose? Did you go for a timeless French tip, a fashionable milky nail art design, or something else? Typically, I would lean towards the French tip, but this summer I'm bidding farewell to neutral shades in favor of an OPI nail polish that I believe will be the standout color of the season. Yes, I mean OPI Cajun Shrimp.
This spicy coral shade is a beloved choice for a good reason and is ideal for the upcoming season. When paired with a tan, I can almost promise you'll receive endless compliments. It's no wonder that expert nail artists appreciate it. In fact, I've seen celebrity manicurist Iram Shelton blend this OPI color with Big Apple Red (£15) to create the ultimate eye-catching shade.
I tried this polish myself, and it’s hard to imagine wearing anything else this season. Not only is it the most vibrant coral I've encountered, but the polish applies smoothly, and two coats provide a richly pigmented color with a high-shine finish that would make anyone think I’ve spent hours at the salon. Since painting my nails, countless people have inquired about the color.
With maximalist beauty trends making a resurgence this season, I believe this will become the top nail color of the summer (and a favored choice for pedicures as well). Stay ahead of the trends and get this polish added to your shopping basket right away...Shop Now:
