Cynthia Erivo's exquisite nail art is inspired by Bad. The Oscar-nominated actress incorporates polishes from OPI x Bad collection to create her nails on the red carpet.
Erivo nail artist Mycah Dior shared a breakdown of how she creates the demo nail designs, which took four hours to create. “This whimsical ensemble is inspired by Bad naturally. It brings the worlds of Elphaba and Glinda to life,” explains Dior about Erivo nails for its New York premiere Badheld at the Museum of Modern Art on Thursday (November 14).
“The green and pink colors embody their contrasting personalities, with Elphaba's vibrant green skin and Glinda's soft, light aura. Hand-painted three-dimensional eyes add a bold, mysterious element, while a hand-drawn watch captures the timeless magic of history,” continued Dior. “Every detail adds to the enchanting, whimsical feel of this set.”
To bring the look to life, Dior used many colors from Bad collection including The witching hour, Ozitively Elphaba, Let us rejoice along with a few other OPI polishes: Mod About You, Alpine Snow, and Black Onyx.
Nail art isn't the only way the Tony Award-winning actress pays homage to the movie's pink and green theme. Erivo and co-star Ariana Grande have worn green and pink to represent their characters Elphaba and Glinda (Grande also uses products from rem beauty x Bad collection for her red carpet glam).
The musical adaptation, starring Erivo, Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, Marissa Bode and Jeff Goldblum, opens in theaters on Friday (November 22).
THE Bad x The OPI Collection is available at retailers such as WalmartAmazon and Ulta Beauty.
