Who doesn’t love a red manicure? This is easily one of the chicest, most timeless nail polish shades of all time, and I’m yet to meet anyone who isn’t a fan. That being said, it can be hard to find the right red nail polish to really make your nails stand out. There are so many options on the market, but after taking a look on Instagram, it’s clear that celebrity nail technicians have a favourite. It’s no secret that nail experts love OPI polishes, and there are so many classics from Bubble Bath to Funny Bunny and It Never Ends. However, when it comes to red nail polish, everyone raves about OPI’s Big Apple Red.

As you can see, this nail polish is super bright and shiny, giving your manicure an expensive-looking finish. It’s the perfect shade for when you want to make a statement with your nails, and the bold red hue works for all year round. It’s no surprise that it’s one of the brand’s most popular polishes.

One of the great things about this polish is that it works well with other OPI shades, too. Here, expert nail artist Iram Shelton has combined OPI Big Apple Red with OPI Cajun Shrimp for a more custom finish.
