Hailey Bieber's nail artist shared with me the coolest OPI nail colors to sport this summer.
Celebrity nail artist Zola Ganzorigt is behind some of the most fashionable and trendsetting manicures globally. Her clientele includes stars like Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner, and Sabrina Carpenter, for whom she has crafted custom nail designs for brand campaigns, product launches, award shows, and even major Coachella performances. She's also credited with creating one of the most viral manicures of recent times—glazed doughnut nails. Unsurprisingly, Ganzorigt is a leading nail expert and the ideal person to select the most stylish nail colors for summer 2026. As an OPI global ambassador, she is exceptionally qualified to choose shades from its extensive range. Below are her top five selections for the trendiest OPI nail colors for summer 2026.
1. **Funny Bunny**
Ganzorigt's first selection is the classic Funny Bunny nail polish, a key component of her renowned glazed doughnut manicure. The other half was the original Tin Man Can Chrome Effects Powder, which OPI has recently rebranded as the Tin Man Can Glaze Chrome Effects Powder. “Clean, effortless, and endlessly versatile, this soft white is ideal for a minimalist summer manicure,” says Ganzorigt. “I also enjoy using it for layering (it pairs well with neutral pinks) or for creating French tips in a French manicure. It also complements Chrome Effects in Tin Man Can Glaze beautifully.”
2. **Alpine Snow**
Ganzorigt additionally endorses OPI's iconic bright-white nail polish, Alpine Snow. This shade is versatile enough to be worn alone or combined with other colors for a unique look. “For those who appreciate a crisp, bright white nail, this shade looks especially stunning against sun-kissed skin,” she notes.
3. **Sunny Bunny**
Her third choice is Sunny Bunny. “As one of the season's top color trends, butter yellow offers a fresh, playful vibe, making this OPI shade perfect for the summer!” she states. It captures the essence of sunshine in a bottle.
4. **Mexico City Move-Mint**
Next, Ganzorigt recommends a color from OPI's spring 2020 Mexico City Collection. Mexico City Move-Mint is a gentle, understated mint green. “It’s bright, refreshing, and provides the perfect splash of color for beach outings and warm weekends,” she explains. Although it is currently out of stock in the UK, a suitable alternative is Gelato on My Mind, shown above.
5. **Mod About You**
Last but certainly not least, Ganzorigt mentions OPI's Mod About You as a standout color for summer. This soft pastel pink is a classic hue. “This delicate pink is timeless,” she remarks. “It’s feminine, flattering for everyone, and ideal for occasions ranging from weddings to summer nights out with friends.”
Other notable OPI shades include **Bubble Bath**, a universally flattering light, bubbly pink, **Cajun Shrimp**, one of her favorite vibrant red-orange tones, and **Big Apple Red**, a quintessential summer choice.
