OPI Teams Up With Wicked For New 12 Day Advent Calendar
The season of luxury advent calendars is here, and with beauty advent calendars being snapped up quickly, OPI Nails has unveiled its own version — with a magical twist. To mark the new film adaptation of the popular musical Wicked, set to hit cinemas on November 22, OPI Nails has launched its 12-day Advent Calendar gift set packed with 12 stunning nail polishes that are sure to make your friends green with envy.
Available now — because for us Wicked enthusiasts, Christmas is arriving early — the OPI x Wicked Mini Nail Lacquer 12-Day Advent Calendar is priced at £51.90. It features six shades that capture the essence of Elphaba (portrayed by Cynthia Erivo in the upcoming film) and six that represent Glinda (Ariana Grande).
With a range from earthy, deep, witch-like hues such as olive green, mustard yellow and black in various finishes (glittery and iridescent) to pinks, purples and golds, your choices are ‘unlimited’. Moreover, with Halloween just around the corner, it’s the ideal time to grab this set to complete your witchy look — whether you’re opting for a yellow and green combination or pink.
The standout polish for us is undoubtedly ‘Ozitively Elphaba’, a rich olive shade interwoven with golden gleams that we can envision on Elphaba herself. Moreover, presented in a green and gold-themed box straight from Oz and adorned with images from the new films and their main characters, it’s the ultimate present for Wicked stans.
The new nail varnish, presented in a bottle adorned with the iconic Wicked logo, boasts a durable life of up to seven days when teamed with OPI’s exclusive three-step system. This ensures a sleek and sheen finish or a pearl-like effect for polishes with that particular blend, reports the Manchester Evening News.
OPI triumphantly heralded its Wicked-inspired lacquer range, with Cynthia Erivo’s stamp of approval, via an Instagram announcement: “SoOo mani oz-mazing looks to choose from in our new #OPIxWicked collection! Witch one are you most excited for?”.Celebrating the enchanted theme this festive period, they divulged: “Unleash the magic this holiday season with #OPIxWicked, launching October 1st. @wickedmovie only in theaters November 22.”
The reveal has sparked a frenzy amongst beauty enthusiasts and musical fans alike; followers flocked to the comment section, voicing their delight. One chimed in with an elated, “OMG! So fun.” Another called it an “amazing collection,” while a third proclaimed, “I need it all.”
With the brand’s Advent Calendar hot off the press, customers are poised to snag the enticing lineup. Given the zero negative feedback and a palette full of arresting shades, an influx of criticism is hardly expected!
OPI isn’t the only nail polish brand that embraces the beauty advent calendar trend, with Mylee’s Selection Box Advent Calendar available at Boots for £55. For those who prefer makeup and skincare, there are countless options this season from big names such as LookFantastic, Sephora and Glossybox, all of whom have unveiled their impressive beauty calendar collections.
