Searching for the best OPI red? 

OPI’s Big Apple Red is a bold and vibrant red that may be the perfect shade for you! 

Below enjoy swatches of this classic, power red - 

Big Apple Red is an OPI customer favorite and it is a classic, warm, vibrant red that in 2015, was the highest ranked red shade period.

This shade is opaque in two coats, shiny, and an incredibly chic color. 

It is the perfect amount of pop on your nails, and it makes a great accent for nail art.

This color is a power shade. It is commanding so one you may want to wear when you are enjoying a neutral color palette for your wardrobe. 

Because it stands out so much, this is a perfect statement polish if you are wanting one. If you just love red polish, it is a classic, candy-like shade for your collection.

You don’t need to accessorize much more when wearing this color. It is an accessory!

Here are a few swatches of Big Apple Red in the original Nail Lacquer formula:

For best results with Big Apple Red​​:

This polish formula is more on the liquidy or runny side, so this means you can apply gorgeous thin coats for fast drying effects. 

It also means if you have a curved nail bed, you may find this polish more easily running into your cuticles - so keep your acetone and cuticle touch-up brush handy and go easy on the amount of polish on the bottle brush as you apply this shade.

For a bright, winter red that you can use for candy cane designs, or holly berry art, Big Apple Red is it. 

If you want a bold red for four-season wear, this works for that too. It stands out when wearing any neutral outfit, and is a stand-alone accessory piece if you are going for a minimalist aesthetic.

Get Big Apple Red in the original Nail Lacquer formula HERE (pictured) and in longwear HERE. If purchasing longwear make sure to get the matching base and top coats, too, to get that full 11-day manicure.

This is the perfect bold red for your collection.
