Which shades are in OPI's Most Requested Collection for Fall 2026?

Twelve shades, coded F037 to F048: Mod About You Pastel, Suzi Take a Vow, France-y Seeing You Here, Every Month is Oktoberfest, It's All Greek to Me, Vampire State Building, Route Beer Float, Throw Me a Wink, Berlin There, Doin' That, Lincoln Park at Midnight, Don't Over Ink It and Vodka & Caviar. They run from light peach and taupe neutrals through pinks and reds to a caramel brown, a near-black plum and a navy.

Which formats does the fall collection come in?

Every shade is made as an Intelli-Gel colour, a Nail Lacquer and a Powder Perfection dip powder, all with the same code. We also stock each shade as a gel and lacquer duo, a 3-in-1 trio with dip, gel and lacquer, and an Intelli-Gel combo with Super Base Coat and Super Gloss Top Coat, plus 6-colour and 12-colour sets in each format.

What is the difference between Set 1 and Set 2?

The 6-colour sets split the palette in half. Set 1 holds F037 to F042, the light pink, light peach, mauve nude, deep purple shimmer, hot pink and blood red. Set 2 holds F043 to F048, the caramel brown, pale pink, light taupe, near-black plum, navy and dark cherry red. The 12-colour sets include all twelve shades, and the split is the same for gel, lacquer, dip, duos and trios.

How do I apply the Intelli-Gel fall shades?

Shake the bottle for about 5 seconds, prep the nail, apply Bond-Aid and an ultra-thin Super Base Coat, then cure 30 seconds under an LED lamp. Apply two thin colour coats, curing each for 30 seconds, and finish with Super Gloss Top Coat cured for 30 seconds. Under a UV lamp each layer takes about 2 minutes.

Do the gel, lacquer and dip versions match?

They share the same shade code in all three formulas, so a client can switch between a gel manicure, a lacquer pedicure and a dip set without leaving the palette. The 3-in-1 trios and the duos are the simplest way to keep the matching bottles together on the shelf. Screens show colour differently, so compare a swatch against the client's skin before the full set.

OPI's Most Requested Collection, Fall 2026: what this page holds

This is OPI's fall release for 2026, sold under the name OPI's Most Requested Collection. It is a single palette of 12 shades, coded F037 through F048, and every shade is made in three formulas that share the same code: GelColor Intelli-Gel, Nail Lacquer and Powder Perfection dip powder. That means a client can wear Every Month is Oktoberfest as a gel manicure, a lacquer pedicure or a dip set, and the code on her service card stays the same.

Everything on this page belongs to that one drop. You will find each of the 12 shades as a single Intelli-Gel bottle, a single lacquer, a single dip jar, a gel and lacquer duo, a 3-in-1 trio and an Intelli-Gel combo with base and top, plus 6-colour and 12-colour sets in every format. The shade names lean into travel and city jokes, with nods to Oktoberfest, Berlin, Greece, France and Lincoln Park, which makes them easy to talk about at the station.

The 12-colour sets hold all twelve codes. The 6-colour sets split the palette in half: Set 1 is F037 to F042, Set 2 is F043 to F048, and the split is the same in every format.

Six ways to buy each shade

Intelli-Gel colour, 0.5 oz: OPI's Intelli-Gel system, cured under an LED or UV lamp, rated for up to 3 weeks of wear.
Nail Lacquer, 0.5 oz: air-dry polish with a fast-drying formula, rated for up to 7 days of wear.
Powder Perfection dip, 1.5 oz jar: dip powder that needs no lamp and is set with OPI's dipping liquids.
Gel and lacquer duo: the gel bottle and the lacquer bottle of the same code, for a gel manicure with a matching lacquer pedicure.
3-in-1 trio: dip 1.5 oz, gel 0.5 oz and lacquer 0.5 oz of one code, so all three services are covered.
Intelli-Gel combo: the colour with OPI Super Base Coat and Super Gloss Top Coat, each 0.5 oz, a full three-step gel kit for one shade.

Each format also comes as a 12-colour set and as the two 6-colour halves described above. All of the formulas are made in the USA.

Which format fits your service menu

Gel is your main service: start with the Intelli-Gel colours, or the 12-colour Intelli-Gel set to cover the whole palette at once.
You also need a base and top: the Intelli-Gel combo puts Super Base and Super Gloss next to the colour, so a new station has the full system.
Clients book a gel mani with a polish pedi: the duos pair the gel with its lacquer under one code.
Your menu includes dip: the 3-in-1 trios or the dip sets keep dip clients on the same fall palette as your gel clients.
Home or quick polish changes: the lacquer alone, or the 6-colour lacquer halves, are the lightest way in.
You only want part of the palette: pick Set 1 for the light pink, peach, mauve nude, hot pink, blood red and a deep purple shimmer, or Set 2 for the pale pink, taupe, caramel brown, near-black plum, navy and dark cherry red.

How to apply the Intelli-Gel shades

Prep: push back the cuticle, buff off the shine and cleanse the nail. Shake the colour bottle for about 5 seconds before use.
Bond and base: one coat of Bond-Aid, then an ultra-thin layer of Super Base Coat, cured 30 seconds under the OPI Star Light LED lamp (about 2 minutes under UV).
Colour: two thin coats of the fall shade, curing each for 30 seconds under LED. Two coats give full colour.
Top: Super Gloss Top Coat cured 30 seconds, then wipe with N.A.S. 99. Super Gloss No Wipe leaves no tacky layer if you prefer to skip the wipe.
Finish: cuticle oil, and ask the client to avoid heavy impact on the nails for the first day.

Intelli-Gel is HEMA-free, TPO-free and vegan. HEMA-free does not rule out a reaction to other acrylates, so patch test clients with a known sensitivity.

Dip and lacquer versions of the fall shades

The Powder Perfection jars use OPI's ultra-fine dip powder, which goes on without lumps, needs less filing than acrylic and is rated for 3 weeks or more of wear. The basic sequence is base, dip the nail at a 45 degree angle, activator, file and buff, then a second activator and the top coat. The base, activator and top come from OPI dipping liquids, and the wider jar range sits in OPI dip powder colors.

The lacquers are the quickest way to show the palette, since they air-dry with no lamp. They are also the bottle a client can take home to touch up a chip, since the code matches her gel or dip set.

Building a fall menu from these 12 shades

The palette groups neatly into four stories, which makes it easy to set up a display or a seasonal menu card:

Soft neutrals: Suzi Take a Vow, Throw Me a Wink and Berlin There, Doin' That, the light peach, pale pink and light taupe shades for clients who want a quiet fall manicure.
Pinks and mauve: Mod About You Pastel, It's All Greek to Me and France-y Seeing You Here, from a light pink and a hot pink with gold microshimmer to a mauve nude.
Reds and wine tones: Vampire State Building, a blood red, Vodka & Caviar, a dark cherry red, and Every Month is Oktoberfest, a deep purple shimmer for wine nails.
Deep accents: Route Beer Float, Lincoln Park at Midnight and Don't Over Ink It, a caramel brown shimmer, a near-black plum and a navy shimmer for darker sets and accent nails.

To round out a fall wall with OPI classics, the OPI fall gel and lacquer duos collect OPI classics from the fall chart such as Malaga Wine and Big Apple Red.

Stocking the fall palette for a salon

A simple way to plan the order is to start from the services you sell. A gel-only salon covers the whole drop with one 12-colour Intelli-Gel set and adds a single Intelli-Gel combo if it still needs Super Base and Super Gloss on the station. A salon that offers gel manicures with polish pedicures gets the same coverage from the 12-colour duo set. A full-service salon with gel, lacquer and dip clients can take the 12-colour 3-in-1 set, so every code is on the shelf in all three formulas. Smaller studios that only want half the palette can start with one 6-colour set and fill in single shades as clients ask for them.

Removal and aftercare

Intelli-Gel: soak off with acetone, using wraps or a soak, and lift the softened gel gently. Do not scrape or force it off the nail.
Dip: follow the removal steps in the OPI dip guide linked below before starting a new set.
Aftercare: finish every gel service with cuticle oil, and remind clients that the first day is when the manicure is most vulnerable to heavy impact.

Other OPI seasons at DTK

This fall drop sits between two other OPI releases. The OPI Summer 2026 collection came before it, and the OPI x M&M's holiday shades follow it for the end of the year. For deeper winter colours across OPI's core range, see OPI winter gel colors.
