To celebrate 20 years of color, OPI has released “colorcopia,” a limited-time set of 12 lacquer shades from the company’s illustrious past. “The 12 shades I’ve chosen for colorcopia are based on the feedback we’ve gotten over the years from our wonderful OPI fans,” says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI executive VP and artistic director. “These shades each made a big impression in the season they were introduced, and each helped capture the fashion essence of that season. We feel these shades are just as relevant today, and wanted to bring them back for one more bow!” View the 12 lacquer shades in this online gallery.
