“Color is the answer” is the phrase that represents OPI's philosophy, and the brand brought that philosophy to Los Angeles’s Little Tokyo. OPI commissioned local artist Kent Yoshimura to paint a mural celebrating the past and future of the vibrant historic neighborhood, with color inspiration from OPI’s Tokyo collection. To celebrate the mural's completion, the brand held an event complete with local food and drink, manicures, and even more color.
