Combining classic festive favourites with contemporary twists, the collection embraces everything from rich reds and sparkling finishes to unexpected greens and chic neutrals.

For those looking to add a touch of sparkle, I’m Really an Actress delivers a glamorous deep pink shimmer inspired by old Hollywood glamour. The luminous finish brings instant festive sparkle, making it an ideal choice for party season.
A true icon, Big Apple Red remains one of OPI’s most-loved shades. This bright, bold red embodies the confidence, excitement and energy of the holidays and is also available in OPI Press-On Nails for effortless festive glamour.
For clients seeking an alternative to traditional festive reds, Rated Pea-g offers a playful twist. This contemporary pea green taps into the growing trend for modern festive colour palettes while still feeling unmistakably seasonal.
No festive nail edit would be complete without I’m Not Really a Waitress. OPI’s iconic deep red shimmer combines rich festive colour with just the right amount of sparkle, making it a go-to shade for celebrations year after year.
Meanwhile, Suzi First Lady of Nails provides a sophisticated alternative to traditional holiday hues. The elegant creamy khaki tone offers understated luxury for those looking for a more contemporary and fashion-forward festive manicure.
Vicky Knight, OPI Educator and Salon Owner, comments: “Big Apple Red is a go-to for our clients in the salon at Christmas. It’s a classic red that goes with every outfit and is perfect for seeing you through the festive season, from Christmas celebrations right through to New Year”
Jayne Sharpe, OPI educator and salon owner, comments: “As soon as December arrives, our stock of I’m Not Really a Waitress quickly depletes. It’s been a firm favourite with our clients since its launch in 1999. Our clients love it for its beautiful ruby colour with a subtle magenta shimmer, and many return to it year after year for the festive period. Almost every time a client wears it, someone else notices and asks for it too! It also makes a fantastic colour for gifting, as it’s a great fit for all skin tones.”
Whether embracing timeless holiday glamour or exploring a more contemporary festive palette, OPI’s shade selection offers endless inspiration for every celebration, from office parties and family gatherings to New Year’s Eve and beyond.
