Popular Nail Polish Shades For Every Month of 2018

By Wesley Shaw

OPI

As we make our way into 2018, it can be tempting to hit refresh on everything: your diet, your hairstyle, your overall mindset—you name it. However, we always like to say, "If it ain't broken, don't fix it." This reigns true for many of the tried-and-true parts of our beauty routines, especially pertaining to the nail polish colors we all know and love. Some signature shades have been long standing for decades, while we were also introduced to some new favorites in 2017 that almost instantly earned a lifetime spot on our shelves. We're excited to enter the New Year with popular nail colors both old and new for an exciting repertoire of choices all year long. No matter the month, you're sure to find a shade out of our selection of favorites to match your mood. Consider this your personal guide to nail polishes for every month of 2018 (and an excellent excuse to treat yourself to at least 12 manicures this year, if you ask us!)
