The “Ga” is Silent
Perfectly timed to capitalise on yet another pop culture phenomenon, the OPI x Wicked Collection consists of 12 whimsical shades inspired by characters in the upcoming musical blockbuster. We’re positively enchanted by The “Ga” is Silent, a pearly, translucent neutral which calls to mind the bubbly Glinda The Good Witch (aka Galinda, her name before arriving at Shiz University).

Chocolate Moose
This reddish-brown shade reminds us of falling leaves and pumpkin spice lattes, both quintessential hallmarks of autumn. It’s a warm, versatile shade that can be dressed up or down.

I’m Not Really a Waitress
A cool burgundy will never go out of favour for the colder months. OPI’s newest interpretation of the jewel tone comes with a flirty name, tons of shimmer and a glossy shine that won’t budge until you see fit to remove it.

Matching your nail colour to the season’s harvest is a fun way to step up your manicure game. With figs at their ripest around this time of year, this creamy deep purple is a winner.

OPI’m Phosphorescent!
Brat green isn’t dead! In fact, it’s back with a vengeance as Wicked green. This glow-in-the-dark top coat captures the feisty and imaginative personality of Elphaba, our favourite green-skinned Wicked Witch of the West.

You Don’t Know Jacques!
We like to think of this grey-brown taupe as the younger sister of the bestselling Lincoln Park After Dark. It’s a deep colour that makes an impact without being too severe, and lends a chic, polished edge to practically every type of outfit.

Ozmopolitan
We find ourselves reaching for darker polish as we switch our wardrobe over to knitted jumpers and heavy wool coats. This pearlescent olive green, a limited-edition shade inspired by the all-powerful Wizard of Oz, is sure to be a compliment magnet this autumn.

Alpine Snow
A good white nail polish is hard to find so it’s no wonder that Alpine Snow remains one of the top three bestsellers for OPI. The crisp, opaque white hue is perfect for doing an at-home French manicure, or painting all over for a frosted look.
