OPI Just Dropped Its Fall Nail Collection — & Every Shade Is Bellissima
August 13, 2020DMT Beauty#DMTBeautySpot #beauty
Following the success of OPI's 2019 fall collection — inspired by the moss greens of an idyllic Scottish countryside — the just-released 2020 assortment brings us to a new global locale: Milan, Italy.
Beyond the rich shades inspired by recognizable Italian tones, the color story woven through this destination assortment feels especially meaningful in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which disproportionally impacted Milan's Lombardy region.
"Last year, before the pandemic hit, we traveled to Milan to source inspiration for this collection," explains OPI Co-Founder Suzi Weiss-Fischmann. "We ate fresh pasta, spent hours walking the city streets, and drank Campari while admiring the incredible street style. Of course, at the time, we had no idea the hardships Milan would soon face. But through this collection, we pay homage to the magical city that showed its loving spirit, even at the height of the coronavirus outbreak."
From a pearlescent blue inspired by balcony choirs to a burgundy sourced from Italian wine, scroll ahead for 12 new shades that will transport you to a balmy fall evening in Milan, and bring some joy to your fingertips in the process.

Have Your Panettone and Eat it Too

Duomo Days, Isola Nights
Like a clear night sky best seen from the top of the Duomo, this sapphire blue is fall perfection (and already on back order).

Addio Bad Nails, Ciao Great Nails
If your scraggly cuticles haven't seen your manicurist in four months, this shade name might speak to you in the same way it speaks to us. But after a dedicated clean-up and two coats of this pearlescent purple, we're feeling ourselves again.

My Italian Is A Little Rusty
Similar to the Panettone shade, this teracotta skews a bit darker for more of a worn leather bag (from a chic Milanese vintage store) vibe.

Suzi Talks with Her Hands
If your fallback nail shade seems to be gray, make this glossy pale slate — which looks like rain-soaked cobblestones — your pre-fall pick.

If you can't get your hands on the sapphire blue, this green-toned teal is the next best thing.

Complimentary Wine
It wouldn't be a fall collection if we didn't have a burgundy — and a wine shade sourced straight from Italy might be the most authentic.
