Inspiration

Everyone’s Favorite Red: Big Apple Red®

Bold, classic, universally flattering. This is that red.

Everyone’s Favorite Red: Big Apple Red®

We can’t celebrate 45 years of color without mentioning THE iconic red: OPI Big Apple Red. Released in Fall 2000 as part of our New York City Collection, this legendary shade is inspired by the Big (red) Apple itself. Think NYC energy: confident, classic, and full of bold energy. It's the kind of red that looks good on literally everyone, works in every season, and somehow still feels like a statement every time. And because we don't believe in making you choose, it's available in every system we make, from Nail Lacquer all the way to press-ons.
