How We Reinvented I’m Not Really a Waitress®

In 1999, OPI founder Suzi Weiss-Fischmann created I’m Not Really a Waitress® as an ode to “anyone labouring for a dream.” As part of our original Hollywood collection, this iconic chianti red pays homage to all the actors whose first big break was waiting tables, but also serves as a reminder that colour can empower you to do or be anything you want.
