OPI Infinite Shine ‘The New OPIcons’ Spring 2026 Collection – Swatches & Review

Just like that, we close out another season of nail polish! In this post, we’ll be looking at the Infinite Shine “bookend” of the Spring release for OPI, and then after that we’ll be getting on into summer and fall!

I blogged about the lacquer half of this set here, but the overall vibe for both of these collections has been about celebrating OPI’s 45th anniversary. And to do that, OPI took inspiration from some of their most iconic shades over the decades and made new polishes to pair with them. I’ve really enjoyed the idea and I’ve been learning so much about OPI history as I pull up each inspiration shade.

I’ll just be copying and pasting the same little description for the Infinite Shine formula that I have in my previous posts about this line!! No need to change it up, it’s all the same important information and thoughts I always have. SO: “The Infinite Shine shades are the ones with the silver caps instead of black, and they run a few dollars more per shade than the regular lacquer. They’re more expensive as OPI claims they’re a long lasting formula that can deliver up to 11 days of “gel-like” wear. These are not gel shades, just gel-like. (If it’s a true gel formula, it’ll be in an opaque bottle as light can cure it). As always, I swatch so often that I can’t fully speak to the longevity. So I’ll be reviewing these shades by color and application, and from there you can make a purchasing decision! In the end you decide what to do with your own money!”: Of course, I’ll also go more in depth on how this affects individual shades as we go through each swatch.

As always you can find these shades at Beyond Polish (along with the lacquer shades as well). If you do shop at Beyond Polish, you can use my code GingerlyPolished for 10% off (I would receive a small commission so no pressure at all). I’ve also purchased from Polish Pick as well.

Now let’s get on into the swatches!

OPI ‘The New OPIcons’ Spring 2026 Collection – Swatches & Review

It’s a new YEAR and a new SEASON of OPI and we’ve finally caught up to the current year of releases!! (At least with OPI, we’re getting there, okay. Yes I WILL continue to reference my big blog catch up on every single post, thank you). It somehow doesn’t feel like a new polish season until I’ve swatched up the newest OPI collection, and it’s now been that way for TEN years. That’s right, I’ve been swatching OPI collections and shades for ten years now on this blog. It started back then with just the 3-4 shades I liked most from a collection, because on a college budget I couldn’t yet afford full lines. And now here we are in 2026. I’m now married with a dog and a condo and life is so different, but OPI continues right along, and continues always being the most popular and most read posts on the blog. It’s the foundation of it all and I’m still enjoying swatching the newest releases. And while it’s only been 10 years of swatching for me, it’s been FORTY-FIVE years of existence for OPI!

So for their 45th anniversary and newest Spring collection, OPI decided to take a look back, and take inspiration from their bestselling and classic shades from the past decades. They then used that inspiration to release 12 new “remixed” shades. That’s right, remixed, so don’t worry, they’re not re-releasing your favorites and changing them but instead making new modern counterparts to pair along with them. I always love a brand taking inspiration from their past, and it was so fun to learn about their history as I researched every iconic shade.

As always these polishes are available from Beyond Polish (code GingerlyPolished gets you 10% off if you shop there. I would earn a small commission if you use that code, so no pressure as always!). They’re also available on PolishPick.com, another place I love to buy from.

Let’s get on into these swatches!
