OPI Wicked Holiday 2024: Bewitching Nails & Exclusive Deals

Everyone has a back story. We all have reasons for what we do, even if we don’t share them. But sometimes our real selves peek out when we do our nails, and we express ourselves through our manicures. This is also true for the characters in the film, Wicked. Their nails evolve as the characters change and grow. The award-winning designer, Frances Hannon, created those unique looks in collaboration with OPI. And now everyone can benefit from the dozen new shades in the OPI Wicked Holiday 2024 set. The gorgeous shimmers, pearls, and crèmes are a limited edition release available on sale in our store. It’s an exclusive deal with bewitching colors for an enchanting new look!

OPI Nail Lacquer

How can you recognize the new Wicked colors? Each bottle of OPI Nail Lacquer has the film title in green lettering across the cap.

If you’ve tried this brand of nail polish before, you might already know the benefits it offers. The quick-drying formula sets to a sleek and shiny finish that stays flawless for a week. No wonder it has won awards!

You can get the best performance when you follow OPI’s 3-step system. After nail prep, apply the OPI Natural Base Coat. Follow with two thin coats of color. It’s hypnotic applying this lacquer because of the colors and the amazing brush!

Remember to apply the polish across the free edge of the nail as this protects against chips. Finish with the OPI Top Coat, again covering the end of the nail. Then, if you live in a humid environment or are in a hurry, add one or two OPI DripDry Lacquer Drops to each nail.

OPI Gelcolor

How can you recognize the new gel colors? Each bottle has white lettering on the bottle that says “WICKED.” Moreover, each of these shades is part of OPI’s gel polish revamp. The innovative Intelli-Gel Technology has better pigment and consistency, plus it’s HEMA-free and vegan. It’s excellent for nail art as it self-corrects and cures in only 30 seconds. You can get up to three weeks of wear with nails that look salon fresh.

The new Intelli-Brush also sports an improved design that picks up just the right amount of polish and provides optimal control.

OPI also provides tips for how to apply the new Wicked gel shades. They recommend shaking the bottles for a minute before application to mix the pigment. Don’t worry about bubbles, the new formula eliminates those.

Once you apply the Bond-Aid pH Balancing Agent and it dries, brush on a very thin layer of Super Base Coat, starting with the free edge of the nails. Cure it for 30 seconds.

Next, apply two coats of gel polish and cure each for 30 seconds. Follow with the Super Gloss Top Coat (and remove the tacky layer if needed with a nail wipe).

OPI Infinite Shine and Xpress/On Tips

There are also nine limited edition Wicked colors in OPI’s Infinite Shine gel-like lacquer collection and its press-on selection!

Which Witch? How to Choose Wicked Colors

Each witch has iconic nail colors that speak to their personality. For example, Glinda’s colors are Ga-Linda, Oh, For Oz Sake, Ozitively Elphaba, I'm the Wonderfullest, Glinda the Good!, Love You So Munchkin!

Meanwhile, Elphaba’s colors are Deflying Gravity, Nessa-Ist Rose, Let's Rejoicify, Oz-Mazing, Witch O'Clock, Fiyero's My Mani.

Still, you are the nail artist with license to expand the role of any colors you choose. Don’t we all have a little Glinda and a little Elphaba inside us? Just imagine what you can create with these beautiful shades!

What Is Wicked’s Story?

The musical Wicked unfolds from the perspectives of two witches, Elphaba and Galinda, both before and after Dorothy’s arrival in Oz. It examines the evolving friendship between Elphaba (who later becomes the Wicked Witch of the West) and Galinda (who transforms into Glinda the Good). Their bond takes time to form and is strained by their differing personalities, opposing views, a shared love interest, and their responses to the shady designs of the Wizard. As the plot thickens and their characters face challenges, their nails hint at the twists to come, and reveal even more about them than words alone can.

Who Did Nails for Wicked?

Rose Hackle is the genius behind Elphaba’s (Cynthia Erivo) striking manicures. She explained that the actor wants her nails to “live their best life.” While on press tour for the film, Cynthia Erivo’s manicures reflected the essence of Elphaba: bold, unique, and unapologetically true to herself. Now, this creative and expressive actor has joined OPI as a Global Brand Ambassador.

Meanwhile, this Los Angeles-based celebrity nail artist continues to delight clients with her good vibes nail studio. Plus, she has smart tips for aspiring artists. First, she doesn’t soak nails. Instead, she preps with a dry Russian manicure and a fine flame diamond bit. After cleaning and dehydrating, she works nail by nail. And finally, she uses products that only need one pass to prevent wasting time and uneven texture. You can see her mindfulness in each manicure she completes.
