OPI New Orleans set

Step into summer with these chic shades that are sure to get you in the holiday mood, whether you're looking for pale pink hues or vibrant green shades – and the best part is their chip-resistant formula makes them ideal if you don't want to be having to redo your nails during your holiday. We're also loving the metallic Take a Right on Bourbon shade, which works great if you're after something shimmery but subtle for those long summer nights.
