Brand Description

North Hollywood, CA 818.759.2400 www.opi.com Sales: $200 million Sales: $200 million (estimated), with retail sales estimated near $500 million Key Personnel: George Schaeffer, president and chief executive officer; Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, executive vice president and artistic director; Eric Schwartz, chief operating officer and general counsel; William Halfacre, executive vice president, sales and marketing. Major Products: Nail lacquers as well as hand and nail treatments New Products: Alice in Wonderland and Shrek Collections Comments: In 1981, Hungarian emigrant George Schaeffer purchased a dental supply business called Odontorium Products Inc. In 1989, that company started marketing nail lacquers, changing the world of polish forever by taking a colorful, quirky and fashion-forward approach. In its most recently completed fiscal year, sales rose 6% with retail sales topping $500 million. But OPI isn’t about the numbers, so to speak. As fans will attest, OPI’s product names are as fun as its hues (think I’m Not Really a Waitress, Holy Pink Pagoda or Ogre-The-Top-Blue, a shade from its new Shrek range). “Before we came along, nail polish was just a number,” said Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, executive vice president and artistic director, who names each and every color.

OPI’s Russian Navy nail lacquer was a cult favorite in 2007. The metallic deep-sea indigo polish was part of the Russian Collection that debuted for Holiday 2007.

Next on deck for the nail lacquer industry leader is La Collection de France, a palette of richly-saturated shades of purple-blue, peacock green, burgundy, ruby red, deep brown and black, accented with mustard yellow, burnt orange and cobalt.
