OPI Is Bringing Back Fan Favorites:
Some OPI nail colors became such classics that fans clamored for their return. And OPI--as always--paid attention to what clients and nail professionals were asking for.
These beautiful shades will inspire artistry while helping nail professionals rebound and recover.

Candy Coat, the London-based nail brand, has announced the launch of their first ever PRO Palette Collection, featuring over 120 gel colors. The PRO Palette Gel Nail formula offers a unique scratch resistant formula and is strongly pigmented with a high gloss finish offering up to four weeks of wear.
In line with the brand’s mission to empower women through color and self-expression, each shade in the PRO Palette Collection is named after a formidable woman, including Candy Coat’s social followers and customers.
Knowing that the professional nail industry suffered during Covid-19 lockdown restrictions, the PRO Palette is an eye-catching and affordable range of professional gel nail shades that will offer professionals something new to inspire their clients and to retail in their salons. The 120 bottle collection means these gorgeous shades can create a stunning display and add a bold statement to any salon wall or nail kit.
