OPI marks 45th with OPIcons: 24 shades across nail formulas

OPI is marking its 45th anniversary with OPIcons, a New Spring 2026 collection that launches as a 24-shade assortment split between Infinite Shine and the brand’s Nail Lacquer family. The rollout is slated to arrive March 13, 2026 and includes 11 xPRESS/ON press-on sets alongside the polish SKUs.

Twelve of the new shades will be color-matched across Nail Lacquer, GelColor Intelli-Gel System and Powder Perfection formats, with Powder Perfection included for the first time in this color-matching program. The remaining 12 shades appear in Infinite Shine, OPI’s longer-wear, quick-dry gel-like line, and several shades are exclusive to that formula, including I’m Not Really an Influencer and Sunny Bunny.

Jill Bartoshevich, OPI Global Director of Color Equity, frames the collection as a conversation with the brand’s community. “We’re so excited to unveil these new colors in celebration of our 45th anniversary,” she said. She also explained the logic behind the collection’s hero neutral: “Nail Lacquer/GelColor/Powder Perfection hero shade OPI’m a Bubble Bunny brings together two of the most-requested neutrals of all time — Bubble Bath and Funny Bunny — in a soft, milky hue with the slightest hint of pink. This shade was born out of the viral trend of combining two coats of Funny Bunny and one coat of Bubble Bath, illustrating the full-circle effect of our brand inspiring a community, who in-turn inspires the brand.”

The collection leans into remixing OPI classics. Notable new or reimagined shades called out by the brand and reporting include Queens Rule, described as a shimmery peach and “the ‘grown-up’ version of its shimmery bubblegum pink inspiration, Princesses Rule!”; Sunny Bunny, a butter yellow riff on Funny Bunny; Big Apple Energy, a cherry red shimmer inspired by Big Apple Red; and Dulce de Latte, a creamy apricot inspired by Dulce de Leche. Wellacompany’s coverage maps several purple-toned reinterpretations - Mod About Me, Lincoln Park After Brunch, Lavender Bath and What’s Not to Lilac? - and blue/green reworks such as Sea Me Now, Big Apple Green, Oh Baby! and Less is More.

OPI’s own product pages lean into the remix narrative with the lines “New Spring 2026 Nail Polish Colors Inspired by Remixing Your Favorite OPI Shades” and “We saw you layering Funny Bunny and Bubble Bath, so we bottled the blend for you!” Shop links on OPI’s site already point to individual shade pages for Lincoln Park After Brunch, Strawberry Cosmo, OPI’m a Bubble Bunny, I’m Not Really an Influencer and Kyoto Oyster.

For anniversary gifting, the collection supplies clear options: the 11 xPRESS/ON press-on sets are an easy, giftable format for last-minute presents, Infinite Shine’s longer-wear formula suits recipients who want gel-like durability without a salon appointment, and the premixed OPI’m a Bubble Bunny answers the viral layering trend for anyone nostalgic about OPI classics. Pricing and full SKU-by-formula details were not listed in the product copy available with the launch announcement, but the collection’s March 13, 2026 arrival and its mix of 24 shades across Nail Lacquer, GelColor, Powder Perfection and Infinite Shine make OPIcons a purposeful anniversary drop that trades directly on the brand’s archive. Expect it to land in OPI’s retail channels in spring and to be pitched as a nostalgia-forward, easily giftable collection.
