These are the shades that will get you enchanted ~

Beginning October 1, 2024, OPI unleashes its magic with a new limited-edition collection inspired by Universal Pictures’ spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event, Wicked (in theaters November 27).

OPI x Wicked features 12 color-matched shades in Nail Lacquer and nine long-wear Infinite Shine hues. The colors and designs are all inspired by the rich, colorful, immersive, and magical world of Wicked. Spellbinding effects include a glow-in-the-dark shade, shimmers, pearls, and crèmes to thrillify nails all season long.

Based on one of the most beloved and enduring stage musicals in Broadway history, Wicked is the untold story of the witches of Oz, starring Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart. Wicked, directed by Jon M. Chu, also stars Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero and Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard of Oz.

The film’s Academy Award-winning makeup, Hair, and Prosthetics Designer, Frances Hannon, used OPI to create the movie’s enchanting nails. These nails are an integral part of the character looks for Glinda, Elphaba, Madame Morrible, and others. As the characters evolve throughout the film, so do their nails. 

“The rich sets and costumes, lead character arcs, and shades of green found in nature, inspired fantastical nail looks,” explains Wicked Make-up, Hair and Prosthetics Designer and Oscar® winner Frances Hannon. I wanted the nails to help tell the characters’ stories, including Elphaba’s (Cynthia Erivo) natural green nails as an extension of her skin color as the film starts. Elphaba’s manicure progresses to a longer, stronger look with powerful nail art as she develops her sense of self and discovers her true potential. Glinda’s (Ariana Grande) French manicure is stylish, elegant, and timeless with small emerald embellishments to reflect her privilege and popularity.

“I’ve been a longtime fan of OPI for its exceptional quality and variety of beautiful colors. I enjoyed layering green shades together and playing with artificial nails during filming. I’m thrilled to see many of these looks come to life for everyone to enjoy,” continues Hannon.

The palette ranges from Glinda’s perfectly pink shades to Elphaba’s magical greens, all inspired by the opulent and vibrant world of Wicked. There is a mix of candy-colored hues (Glinda the Good!, Head Shiztress, Yellow Brick Road, I’m the Wonderfullest). Electric blues and flashes of day-glo (Fiyero’s My Mani, OPI’m Phosphorescent!) are invigorating, while mystical dark tones offer moments of mystery (Deflying Gravity, Thrillifying!, Ozmopolitan). 

“OPI x Wicked has been a true collaboration that started organically. We began working with the makeup artist, set designer, and costume designer, and the excitement built from there,” explains OPI Co-Founder and Brand Ambassador Suzi Weiss-Fischmann. “There was so much inspiration on set, and it translated to tons of effects and colors all inspired by this magical world of Wicked. Once the shades were created, we worked with Universal to co-create names based on the movie’s themes and characters.”

“I went to the set and saw OPI all over. I got to see how the nails were such a big part of the characters, and I knew we could make magic together, OPI and Wicked,” adds OPI Global Director of Color Equity Jill Bartoshevich. “We took the five themes from the movie: empowerment, equality, integrity, defiance, and sisterhood, and interpreted these through the collection’s colors. OPI’m Phosphorescent! is a glow-in-the-dark shade in our long-wear Infinite Shine formula. This glowy green is very prominent in the movie. The other hero shade is Ga-Linda, Glinda’s signature pale pink.”

There are 12 limited-edition shades that will be color-matched and available in Nail Lacquer including:
