A perfect summer manicure often begins with a deceptively simple question: which color can make bare arms, linen dresses and sun-warmed skin look more intentional in one stroke? Zola Ganzorigt, the celebrity nail artist behind some of Hailey Bieber’s most copied manicures, has an answer that feels refreshingly democratic. Her favorite O.P.I nail shades for the season do not require a couture budget, since the classic Nail Lacquer versions sit around the $9 mark and still carry the authority of a salon favorite.
Funny Bunny is the Chicest Whites for Summer
O.P.I Nail Polish in Shade Funny Bunny, $ 11.99
The selection starts exactly where a Hailey-coded manicure should, with Funny Bunny, the milky white shade linked to the glazed-donut nail universe. Its charm comes from softness. It gives the nail a clean veil without turning the hand too stark, which makes it ideal for anyone who wants a minimal manicure with a little more romance than plain nude.
Sunny Bunny and Mexico City Move-Mint Bring the Sweetest Summer Mood
O.P.I Nail Polish in Shade Sunny Bunny, $ 11.99
O.P.I Nail Polish in Shade Mexico City Move-Mint, $ 11.99
The prettiest surprise is Sunny Bunny, a butter-yellow shade that brings the season’s sweetest color trend to the nail bed. It feels playful without becoming childish, especially when worn on short, rounded nails with a glossy finish. Then comes Mexico City Move-Mint, a soft mint green that behaves like a small vacation in polish form, cool enough for beach days and refined enough for a city sandal.
Mod About You Is the Pastel Pink That Always Works
O.P.I Nail Polish in Shade Mode About You, $ 11.99
For anyone who prefers a more classic kind of femininity, Mod About You closes the edit with a pastel pink that feels almost powdery. It belongs to weddings, summer evenings and every moment when a manicure needs to look pretty without trying too hard. Together, Ganzorigt’s picks prove that the best summer nail colors do not need to shout. They simply need the right undertone, a good gloss and the confidence of a shade that already knows it will look expensive.
