Hailey Bieber's nail artist shared with me which OPI nail colors are the trendiest to wear this summer.

      Celebrity nail artist Zola Ganzorigt is the mastermind behind some of the most fashionable and innovative manicures around the globe. Her clientele features names like Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner, and Sabrina Carpenter, for whom she has designed custom nail looks for brand promotions, product launches, award ceremonies, and even significant performances at Coachella. She is also credited with creating one of the most viral manicures in recent times—the glazed doughnut nails. It’s clear that Ganzorigt is a leading nail expert, making her the ideal choice to curate the trendiest nail colors for summer 2026. As an OPI global ambassador, she has exclusive access to choose shades from their extensive collection. Below are her top five selections for the most stylish OPI nail colors for summer 2026.

      1. **Funny Bunny**

      Ganzorigt’s first selection is the original Funny Bunny nail polish, which is a key component of her famous glazed doughnut manicure, along with the original Tin Man Can Chrome Effects Powder—now known as the Tin Man Can Glaze Chrome Effects Powder. "This soft white is clean, effortless, and incredibly versatile, making it ideal for a minimalist summer manicure," Ganzorigt mentions. "I enjoy using it in layering (especially with neutral pinks) or for a French tip style. It pairs beautifully with the Tin Man Can Glaze Chrome Effects too."

      2. **Alpine Snow**

      Next on her list is OPI's classic bright white nail polish, Alpine Snow. This is another versatile hue that can be used on its own or combined with other colors for a personalized effect. "If you appreciate a crisp, bright white nail, this shade looks stunning against sun-kissed skin," she shares.

      3. **Sunny Bunny**

      Ganzorigt’s third choice is Sunny Bunny. "With butter yellow being a major color trend this season, this OPI shade brings a fresh, playful vibe, making it perfect for summer!" she exclaims. It's like sunshine in a bottle.

      4. **Mexico City Move-Mint**

      For her next recommendation, Ganzorigt highlights a shade from OPI's spring 2020 Mexico City Collection—Mexico City Move-Mint, a soft and subtle mint green. "It’s bright, refreshing, and provides just the right splash of color for beach outings and warm-weather weekends," she notes. While it isn’t available in the UK at the moment, Gelato on My Mind is a close alternative.

      5. **Mod About You**

      Finally, Ganzorigt identifies OPI's Mod About You as a standout shade for summer. This gentle pastel pink is a timeless choice. "This soft pink is classic," she remarks. "It’s feminine, universally flattering, and perfect for occasions ranging from weddings to summer nights out with friends."

      In addition, OPI offers other noteworthy shades:

      - **Bubble Bath**: A classic light, bubbly pink that flatters everyone.

      - **Cajun Shrimp**: A fiery red-orange that is one of my all-time favorite colors.

      - **Big Apple Red**: An obvious pick for summer.
