What sits in the OPI best seller collection
This page gathers the OPI listings DTK has tagged as best sellers, plus the Intelli-Gel colour combos that pair a shade with its base and top coat. Think of it as the reorder shelf: the codes salons ask for by name and come back to when a bottle runs low. The tag is a shortcut for finding those codes quickly. It is not a ranking, and the order of products in the grid is not a sales chart.
Most shades here appear in more than one format. A single code can show up as an Intelli-Gel bottle, a gel and lacquer duo, a Nail Lacquer on its own, a Powder Perfection dip jar or a 3 in 1 set. Stock moves listing by listing, so open each product to see what is available before you plan an order. DTK is an authorized OPI reseller, and every bottle comes from OPI's own range.
The whites and sheer pinks that anchor a gel wall
For French sets, overlays and natural looks, four tagged shades cover most of the work, and each one does a different job.
- H22 Funny Bunny is a cool, milky neutral white. It softens the nail without looking stark, layers well and works as a base under nail art.
- S86 Bubble Bath is a sheer, warm candy pink that gives the look of a healthy natural nail. It suits French tips, bridal sets and short neat nails.
- L00 Alpine Snow is the crisp, opaque white for sharp French lines and solid full sets, where Funny Bunny would read too soft.
- S061 OPI'm a Bubble Bunny combines Funny Bunny and Bubble Bath in one bottle: a milky pink that saves you from layering two shades for every client.
Funny Bunny and Bubble Bath are not interchangeable. One reads like clean linen, the other like a warm flush, so most salons keep both. A well-known layered finish is two coats of Funny Bunny with one coat of Bubble Bath on top, which gives a translucent milky glow. OPI's seasonal chart lists H22 and L00 for all four seasons, which makes them the safest codes to keep in stock year round.
Reds clients ask for by code
Clients often ask for a red by its OPI code, so a short, deliberate red range saves time at the desk. The reds below are tagged in this collection and listed as Intelli-Gel bottles with stock on DTK today:
- N25 Big Apple Red: the true, blue-based classic red that OPI describes as universal.
- L64 Cajun Shrimp: a warm coral-red with a holiday and spring feel.
- A16 The Thrill of Brazil: a red-orange sunset tone that sits well on olive and tan skin.
- H08 I'm Not Really a Waitress: a deep ruby with a pearl shimmer for evening and holiday sets.
- W52 Got the Blues for Red and W62 Madam President: deeper, cooler reds for clients who find classic red too bright.
- L60 Dutch Tulips: a bright pink-red that suits fair skin.
OPI's own skin-tone guidance is a useful starting point: blue-based and berry reds such as Dutch Tulips, Madam President and Got the Blues for Red for fair skin with cool undertones, and warm, orange-leaning reds such as The Thrill of Brazil for medium and olive skin. Keep one cool and one warm red open on the station and you can answer most red requests without hunting.
Nudes, browns and dark shades on the shelf
Beyond the whites and reds, the tagged shades cover the quieter end of a colour wall:
- Nudes: E41 Barefoot in Barcelona, a chic taupe-beige; A61 Taupe-less Beach; A15 Dulce de Leche; L16 Lisbon Wants Moor; E82 My Vampire is Buff; and A60 Don't Bossa Nova Me Around.
- Browns: N80 Cliffside Karaoke and N81 Bonfire Serenade, a cocoa brown with a soft red undertone for fall.
- Darks: T02 Black Onyx, D54 Trading Paint and I53 Icelanded a Bottle of OPI, a smoky teal blue.
- Sparkle: B59 My Private Jet, a black glitter, and E01 Optical Nailusion, a holographic multi-glitter.
The descriptions above follow OPI's notes and the listing titles. Screens shift colour, so a swatch stick or the printed shade chart is the safer way to confirm a nude against a client's skin before a full set.
OPIcons Spring 2026 shades in this collection
OPIcons is OPI's 45th anniversary collection: 12 shades released as Nail Lacquer, Intelli-Gel and Powder Perfection at the same time, which was a first for the brand. Several of them carry the best seller tag here. OPI describes them as remixes of its classics:
- S062 Put It in Airplane Mode: a calm, minimalist neutral.
- S065 Bathtime Bubbly: a fresh, airy neutral for any occasion.
- S069 Sunny Bunny: a soft, wearable yellow.
- S070 Strawberry Cosmo: a fresh take on pink-red.
- S071 Lincoln Park After Brunch: a lighter, modern riff on Lincoln Park After Dark.
- S072 Big Apple Energy: a brighter take on Big Apple Red.
- S066 Queens Rule and S067 Pompeii Pink: a bright, mood-lifting hue and a warm pink.
Because the anniversary shades launched in three formats together, they are the easiest codes on this page to match across a gel manicure, a lacquer pedicure and a dip set. S064 Mod About Me and S068 Shrimp Cocktail complete the tagged group.

How to apply OPI Intelli-Gel
- Prep: push back the cuticle, remove shine from the nail plate and clean it, then apply Bond-Aid.
- Shake: give the Intelli-Gel bottle about five seconds of shaking before you open it.
- Base: brush on an ultra-thin layer of Super Base and cure it, 30 seconds under the Star Light lamp or 2 minutes under UV.
- Colour: apply two thin coats, curing each one. Thin layers cure evenly and wear longer.
- Top: seal with Super Gloss and cure. Use the No Wipe version if you prefer not to cleanse afterwards.
- Finish: massage in cuticle oil and remind the client to avoid heavy impact on the nails for the first day.
OPI lists up to three weeks of wear with the full system. Intelli-Gel is described by OPI as HEMA-free, TPO-free and vegan. That does not rule out a reaction to other ingredients, so a patch test is still sensible for sensitive clients, and the original GelColor bottles are a separate formula with their own label.
Lacquer and dip from the same codes
OPI Nail Lacquer air-dries without a lamp and lasts about five to seven days with a base and top coat. In this collection you will also find the OPI Natural Nail Strengthener, a base coat used under lacquer. For dip, Powder Perfection jars need no lamp and OPI lists three weeks or more of wear. Pair them with the OPI dip liquids in step order, and use the same brand's system rather than mixing liquids from different lines.
Keeping the reorder shelf stocked through the year
- Lock in the year-round codes: H22 Funny Bunny and L00 Alpine Snow appear in all four seasons of OPI's chart.
- Hold one cool and one warm red: for example N25 Big Apple Red and A16 The Thrill of Brazil.
- Add the season: deeper reds, browns and darks such as H08, W52, N80 and N81 appear on OPI's fall list, while T02, I53 and E01 sit on its winter list.
- Match formats to services: if a shade sells as gel on hands and lacquer on toes, a duo keeps both on one code.
- Check each listing before reordering: best seller tags do not guarantee stock, and combo stock varies from shade to shade.
Buying OPI best sellers at DTK
Every format is priced on its own listing. The Intelli-Gel combos put a colour and its two system coats into one product, which saves picking three items, and the 3 in 1 sets do the same for dip, gel and lacquer in one code. Prices are shown on each listing and change with stock, so compare there before you order.
