I Always Choose This OPI Nail Colour Whenever I Want to Exude Class and Elegance in Winter
OPI's Malaga Wine shade is one of the best red nail polishes of all time.


As a beauty editor, I basically study OPI nail colours—they're like my version of the periodic table. From Funny Bunny to Bubble Bath, I can easily spot them from a mile away, and there are so many timeless nail shades I adore from the nail brand. But when I want to feel my most sophisticated and put together, there is one OPI deep red nail colour that I reach for time and time again, and that's Malaga Wine.
Inspired by the deep red wine from Málaga, Spain, OPI Malaga Wine is rich, full-bodied wine-red that suits everyone. It leans on the darker side of red with a slight ruby undertone, making it a chic dark nail colour for autumn manicures and winter nails, or as a moody evening mani. However, it's not quite as dark as some of the dark-red nail colours like Chanel Rouge Noir, so it's a great happy medium for when you want a moody manicure that isn't too deep.
Above, I'm wearing two coats of Malaga Wine (sealed with OPI Infinite Shine Top Coat) and it never fails to deliver a rich and glossy look. It's by far one of my favourite reds from OPI. It reads a little more pink in the bottle, but on the nails, it's a full-bodied red. It comes in both the classic Nail Lacquer, as well as the Infinite Shine formula, which is designed to be longer-lasting and even glossier while lasting up to 11 days. Of course, you can also request the shade in salon if you're having a gel manicure.
However, next on my list to try are the OPI Press On Nails in the Malaga Wine hue, which are a great alternative to gel nails and other types of manicures. If you're looking for a classy and timeless red that suits any occasion, Malaga Wine is a failsafe choice.

When you need a salon-esque mani in mere moments, these press-on nails are a great hack to achieving a fresh set in a matter on minutes.
