If you ask any beauty editor or nail lover about their favourite nail combo, there’s a high chance they’ll mention two iconic OPI shades: Bubble Bath and Funny Bunny. Beauty insiders already know that Bubble Bath delivers a soft sheer pink look, while Funny Bunny creates a delicate milky white finish. But when these two are layered together, the result becomes something even more beautiful.
For years, nail artists have been combining these two shades to create the famous Bubble Bunny manicure. The classic technique usually involves applying two coats of Funny Bunny followed by one coat of Bubble Bath. This layering creates a soft milky pink manicure that looks elegant, clean and timeless. Because of its subtle finish, it works perfectly for everyday nails and is also a popular choice for wedding manicures. Many nail lovers consider it one of the most versatile OPI combinations ever created.
OPI Introduces OPI’m A Bubble Bunny
Recently, OPI made things even easier for fans of this look by releasing a new shade called OPI’m A Bubble Bunny. Instead of mixing the two polishes, this new colour blends the essence of Bubble Bath and Funny Bunny into a single bottle. The shade is part of OPI’s OPIcons collection, where some of the brand’s most iconic colours are reimagined and remixed into fresh new shades.
The new OPI’m A Bubble Bunny polish aims to recreate the beloved Bubble Bunny look without the need for layering multiple products. It delivers a sheer milky pink tone with a subtle brightening effect on the nails.
First Coat Application Results
When applying the first coat of OPI’m A Bubble Bunny, the finish appears very sheer. For the best results, it’s recommended to apply a thin and even layer with minimal product on the brush. This technique helps prevent streaking and allows the colour to spread smoothly across the nail surface.
Two Coat Finish Appearance
After applying the second coat, the polish develops more opacity while still maintaining its soft translucent finish. Using a light “floating” motion with the brush can help the polish glide evenly across the nail. With just one or two gentle strokes, the polish spreads smoothly and creates a soft milky pink look that still keeps a natural level of sheerness.
OPI’m A Bubble Bunny vs Classic Bubble Bunny Combo
When comparing the new polish with the traditional layering method, there are noticeable differences. The classic technique—two coats of Funny Bunny topped with Bubble Bath—can sometimes lead to slight streaking depending on the application.
In contrast, OPI’m A Bubble Bunny tends to apply more smoothly since the formula is designed as a single blended shade. The traditional combo leans slightly more pink, while the new polish has a more milky tone with a hint of lilac.
The Final Verdict
For fans of the Bubble Bunny manicure, this new shade feels like a welcome upgrade. Not only does it simplify the process by removing the need to layer multiple polishes, but it also helps achieve a smoother finish in less time.
Although the tone leans a bit more milky compared to the original pink-leaning combo, the colour still delivers the elegant and clean manicure that made Bubble Bunny famous in the first place. For anyone who loves soft, polished and timeless nails, OPI’m A Bubble Bunny is definitely worth trying.
