"Funny Bunny" Nails Are the Key to Looking Polished from Top to Toe

As a beauty editor, I'm often trying a lot of nail trends. From nail art to all-over nail colour looks, I want in on them all. But as much as I love experimenting with my nails, you sometimes can't beat a classic, which is why Funny Bunny nails will always have a special place in my roster of my all-time favourite nail colours.

What Are "Funny Bunny" Nails?

OPI's Nail Lacquer in Funny Bunny is a favourite nail colour shade amongst the Who What Wear UK team, including managing editor Poppy Nash.

So why are funny bunny nails so popular? Funny Bunny, a now iconic nail colour by OPI, is often hailed as the perfect milky nail colour by celebrity nail techs and salon go-ers alike. One coat gives a sheer veil of colour and two gives a more opaque milky finish that still allows your nails to show through. Whichever look you opt for, it's a shade that's so chic and perfect for this time of year.

It suits all skin tones, and it comes in both nail polish and also a gel version if you're getting your mani done in-salon. It pairs seriously well with other nail colours (many swear by Funny Bunny and Bubble Bath as their signature manicure combo if you're after a milky-pink colour). Plus, it really took off when Hailey Bieber's manicurist, Zola Ganzorigt, made glazed donut nails a thing, which sees Funny Bunny paired with a white chrome powder. It's a great nail colour choice if you love a minimalist nail look but want something more milky-looking than a pink shade.

In fact, Funny Bunny is Who What Wear UK managing editor Poppy Nash's, favourite nail colour. "I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I've gone to the nail salon and not opted for Funny Bunny," she tells me.

"It is sheer, so I always, always get three coats. Two is way too sheer and looks too white, but with three you get more of a creamy, pale pink tone to it which suits my skin tone a lot better," she says. "I also like that it doesn't look too shabby when it starts to grow out—which is a big plus for me because I can be a little infrequent with my appointments!"
