OPI Wicked Collection
OPI has unveiled its latest limited-edition collection, OPI x Wicked, inspired by Universal Pictures’ highly anticipated film adaptation of the iconic musical Wicked, scheduled to hit cinemas in November 2024. The collection features 12 captivating shades, including glow-in-the-dark hues, shimmers, pearls, and crèmes, designed to evoke the magic and colour of the film’s immersive world.
The collection will be available in OPI's Nail Lacquer, GelColor, and Infinite Shine formulas, incorporating OPI’s Intelli-Gel Technology for flawless, long-lasting wear. Notable shades include Glinda’s soft pinks and Elphaba’s magical greens, perfect for adding a touch of enchantment to your nails this holiday season.
The film’s Academy Award-winning make-up, Hair and Prosthetics Designer, Frances Hannon used OPI to create the movie’s enchanting nails, which 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 colour 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”.
The OPI x Wicked collection is available to purchase now at OPI.com.
