Hailey Bieber's nail artist shared with me that *these* are the trendiest OPI nail colors to sport this summer.

      Celebrity nail artist Zola Ganzorigt is renowned for some of the world's most fashionable and trend-setting manicures. Her clientele includes stars like Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner, and Sabrina Carpenter, for whom she has crafted custom nail designs for various brand campaigns, product launches, award shows, and even for headlining performances at Coachella. She is also the mastermind behind one of the most popular manicures in recent years—glazed donut nails. It goes without saying that Ganzorigt is a leading nail expert and the ideal person to curate the hottest nail colors for summer 2026. As an OPI Global Ambassador, she is perfectly positioned to choose shades from their extensive range. Below are her top five selections for the trendiest OPI nail colors this summer.

      #1 Funny Bunny

      Ganzorigt's first choice is the original Funny Bunny nail polish, which serves as a key component of her famous glazed donut manicure. The other half is the original Tin Man Can Chrome Effect Powder (which has recently been reintroduced by OPI under the name Tin Man Can Glaze Chrome Effects Powder). "This clean, effortless, and incredibly versatile soft white is ideal for a minimalist summer manicure," Ganzorigt notes. "I also enjoy using it for layering (especially with neutral pinks) or for creating French tips. It pairs beautifully with Chrome Effects in 'Tin Man Can Glaze.'"

      #2 Alpine Snow

      Ganzorigt also suggests OPI's classic bright white polish: Alpine Snow. This is another adaptable shade that can be worn alone or mixed with other colors for a personalized look. "For those who appreciate a crisp, bright white nail, this shade looks particularly stunning against sun-kissed skin," she explains.

      #3 Sunny Bunny

      Her third selection is Sunny Bunny, which she lists alongside another similar hue, Blinded By the Ring Light ($19). "As one of the season’s major color trends, butter yellow adds a fresh, playful vibe, making these two OPI shades perfect for summer!" It truly captures the essence of sunshine in a bottle.

      #4 Mexico City Move-Mint

      Following that, Ganzorigt recommends a hue from OPI's Spring 2020 Mexico City Collection, Mexico City Move-Mint, which is a soft, subtle mint green. "It's bright, refreshing, and provides the ideal splash of color for beach days and warm weekends," she states.

      #5 Mod About You

      Lastly, Ganzorigt highlights OPI's Mod About You as a must-try shade for summer. This delicate pastel pink is a timeless classic. "This soft pink is always in style," she says. "It's flattering on everyone and perfect for occasions ranging from weddings to summer outings with friends."
