Tried, Tested, Trusted – Why you should buy from OPI
Founded over 40 years ago, OPI’s ironically shaped bottles and on trend colour collections are known and loved across the globe! Here’s 7 things, we bet you didn’t know about OPI.
1. Rich heritage and history
Originally founded as a dental supply company in North Hollywood, OPI started it’s nail journey in 1981 with Suzi Weiss Fischmann and her brother in law George Schaffer teaming up to create a product specifically formulated for nails after noticing manicurists were buying dental adhesive to use as acrylics. Soon after, Suzi’s love of colour led to the creation of the beloved lacquer formulation that we still know today.
2. #1 salon brand worldwide
For over 40 years, OPI has been the no1 global salon brand and sold in over 100 countries thanks to the continuous focus on providing high-quality products and services as well as on trend shades and innovation.
3. Distinctive bottle shape and memorable shade names
The trademarked OPI bottle is so globally recognisable it is featured at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office alongside the Coke bottle. Each year, OPI creates 50+ new shades, each with unique and memorable shade names that tie back to fond memories, communicate feelings, capture imaginations, or simply tell a story. Big Apple Red is OPI’s #1 selling shade, holding the #1 slot for over 10 consecutive years.
