I've shared many of my favorite nail polish shades on the blog over the years, so today I thought I'd compile my most-worn colors all in one post! These are all OPI shades because those are the ones I typically get at the salon, and also the ones that can be easily purchased to use at home. For reference, I always get gel manicures, but many of these shades come in regular polish as well as dip powder. I included some recent photos of my own nails to show some of the shades, and found photos of other women's that I feel best represent the rest of the shades.
1. Chiffon My Mind: This was the nail shade I wore on my wedding day! It's a gorgeous translucent white with a white and blue micro shimmer. This is the color I'm wearing right now!

2. My Vampire Is Buff: This is a gorgeous light nude that would also make a great wedding day nail color! It's a cream shade that skews just slightly beige, and complements many skin tones - my nail guy is always happy when I pick this shade because he loves a good neutral!

3. Stop it I'm Blushing: This might be my most-worn nail shade - it is the PERFECT opaque blush pink!
4. Just Lanai-ing Around: As of this moment in time, this is probably my favorite nail color. It works in every season - it's not too dark, not too light, and complements my skin tone perfectly.

5. Viva OPI: This is the ULTIMATE spicy red/orange color for summer! I've never seen anyone else talk about it, it deserves more hype!! You have to see it in real life because it's even better in person. I'm pretty sure this is what I'm going to get at my next nail appointment because I need some color in my life.

6. Cajun Shrimp: If this isn't the most popular OPI shade of all time, then it's definitely top five! It's the perfect infrared color, especially for summertime.

7. Miami Beet: One of my very favorite nail shades used to be "Casino Royale," but it was limited edition and I can no longer find it so this is the next best thing! It's a beautiful bright purple beet color, aptly named.
8. We The Female: This is the perfect deep red shade - enough said! The above photo is from my last manicure.

9. Malaga Wine: Another beautiful deep red wine shade, this one is a bit deeper than "We The Female" and a great pick for fall.
10. Black Cherry Chutney: Last but not least, another contender for my most worn color! It's a super deep maroon that looks almost black, but has a maroon frost in bright sunlight. In college I pretty much just alternated back and forth between this shade and "Stop It I'm Blushing."
What's your favorite nail color to get? I'm always looking for something new to try since I typically default to one of my tried and true favorites. 😜
