Designed for fans of both protagonists Elphaba (portrayed by Cynthia Erivo in the new film) and Glinda, played by Ariana Grande, it features six shades inspired by each.
From earthy, deep witch-like colours such as olive green, mustard yellow and black in various finishes (glittery and iridescent) that Elphaba would be proud to wear, to the pinks, purples and golds sorted by Glinda, your options are ‘unlimited’ – especially when you can mix and match.
And with Halloween just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to grab this set to complete your witchy look – whether you’re going for a yellow and green combo or wanting to look pretty in pink.
The limited edition nail set, packaged in a green and gold themed box which could be straight outta Oz and adorned with stills from the new films and its main characters, is the ultimate gift for those amongst us who are Wicked-mad, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The nail polish, which lasts up to seven days when used with Opi’s three-step system, comes in a bottle adorned with the Wicked logo. It delivers either a smooth and glossy finish or a pearlescent one, depending on the polish’s composition.
With so many gorgeous shades to choose from, we have to admit that Ozitively Elphaba, an olive shade with gold swirls, is simply stunning – and one hue that we can imagine Elphaba wearing beautifully. With its smudge-resistant and quick-drying finish, your nails will be sparkling in no time, especially with the wide brush ensuring perfect application.
Opi announced the launch of this new Wicked-inspired collection, endorsed by Cynthia Erivo herself, on Instagram, writing: “SoOo mani oz-mazing looks to choose from in our new #OPIxWicked collection! Witch one are you most excited for? ” “Unleash the magic this holiday season with #OPIxWicked, launching October 1st. @wickedmovie only in theaters November 22.”
The announcement was well-received by fans of the brand and the show, who expressed their excitement in the comments. One said: “OMG! So fun.”
Another praised: “Amazing collection,” while a third declared: “I need it all.”
Luckily, they can have it all with the brand’s Advent Calendar, available here. As the set has just been released, there are no negative reviews yet – and given the stunning colours, we don’t anticipate many coming in.
OPI isn’t the sole nail polish brand to hop on the beauty advent calendar bandwagon, with Mylee’s Selection Box Advent Calendar up for grabs at Boots for £55. If you’re more into makeup and skincare, there’s a plethora of choices this season from LookFantastic, Sephora, Boots and Glossybox, among others, who have unveiled their impressive beauty calendar collections.
