When it comes to the best OPI nail colour shades, I have several favourites. Bubble Bath, a sheer pink, is a timeless favourite that many of us will wear on repeat. Funny Bunny, a milky nail colour loved by Hailey Bieber, is another of our ride or die nail polishes. But, for our autumn manicures, OPI has one standout nail colour that I think we're going to be seeing everywhere in this season. And that shade is OPI's Got The Blues For Red.

Shop OPI Got The Blues For Red Nail Polish
OPI Got The Blues For Red is a deep red with cool blue undertones, which makes it classy red nail colour for the autumn and winter months. It's very versatile, looks great on all skin tones and nail shapes and lengths, but we particularly love it on short nails for a sophisticated look. Thanks to the ultra-glossy formula, it is bound to make your manicure look expensive. In daylight, it has a cherry-red hue, while in darker lighting it appears as a deep Bordeaux. We have to say, it's one of OPI's best red nail polishes, next to Big Apple Red and Malaga Wine.
The shade also comes in OPI's Infinite Shine nail polish range, which promises even glossier and long-lasting results compared to the standard polish. If you want a gel-like finish without the need of a curing lamp, this is the next best thing.

If you want something slightly brighter, my recommendation would be OPI's Malaga Wine. It's a deep wine red that isn't as dark as Got The Blues For Red, and is perfect for autumn and winter.
Essie Bordeaux Nail Polish
I really rate Essie's nail colours, and Bordeaux is a particularly chic and deep red.

For an extra long-lasting manicure, try Essie's Gel Couture Polish— combined with the top coat my manicure lasts well over a week without chipping.
