For years, manicure enthusiasts on TikTok have shared the viral pairing of Bubble Bath and Funny Bunny nail polishes for perfectly light milky pink nails, and with the OPIcons Collection, OPI introduced a brand-new, one-step shade inspired by this layered duo: OPI’m a Bubble Bunny.
Other instantly recognizable nail polish colors from OPI received the same treatment across the OPIcons Collection lineup, as seen with Lincoln Park After Dark, now available as Lincoln Park After Brunch with an infusion of shimmery blackberry purple, and Funny Bunny, plus butter yellow in the all-new Sunny Bunny.
This launch, celebrating OPI's 45 years in business, spans everything from versatile neutrals to deeply dramatic hues, offering something for everyone with Nail Lacquer, the GelColor Intelli-Gel System and the salon-exclusive Powder Perfection formulas.
