Nail trends come and go, but one colour that reigns supreme is red. Iconic, truly timeless and a little bit sultry, a crimson swipe on your fingertips never goes out of fashion.
Celebrities like Kendall and Kylie Jenner, with access to more nail polish colours than Pantone could dream up, find themselves gravitating towards various degrees of rouge.
And as far as these two famous sisters are concerned, nowhere does red polish quite like OPI.
Despite OPI offering over 23 shades of red, Kendall and Kylie favour Big Apple Red and Coca-Cola Red, says their manicurist Zola Ganzorigt.
Supermodel Kendall chose Big Apple Red for her first summer manicure back in May, after showcasing the shade in her holiday nail looks in both 2024 and 2023. She was also seen wearing it again during a shopping trip a few weeks later.

This was the shade she wore to launch her Cosmic perfume at Ulta Beauty in April, as well as the one that graced her New York Times cover in 2024 and the Met Gala red carpet in 2023.

Where to shop OPI
After a bit of research, I discovered that several of OPI’s coveted red shades are currently on sale. Even better, many are available in curated bundles via QVC, meaning you can replicate multiple Hollywood-approved manicures at home without breaking the bank.
One bundle I found was the OPI Repair Mode and Nail Envy Duo, which features Kendall’s beloved shade of Big Apple Red, as well as a nail repair serum that’s enriched with fast-acting patented Ulti-Plex Technology.
Big Apple Red also features in the OPI Cult Classics Gifting Collection, which is a capsule of four shades of red, plus a top coat and natural nail base coat to help prolong your at-home manicure.
If you’re looking to dazzle your digits with some sort of rouge but keep it summery, then the seven-piece Summer Lacquer Collection from OPI is also on sale. It’s a comprehensive set with five gorgeous summery shades – spanning a creamy pink to a dark red – of OPI's iconic Nail Lacquer, complete with a top and base coat.
Better yet, the summer bundle comes packaged in a stylish, travel-ready OPI branded bag, so you can bring it on all of your summer adventures.
