Opi

OPI, a name synonymous with vibrant and trend-setting nail color, has a rich history rooted in Southern California. Founded in 1981 by George Schaeffer as a dental supply company (Odontorium Products Inc.), the business soon pivoted when Schaeffer recognized a market for high-quality nail products within the professional salon industry. With the introduction of innovative colors, catchy names, and a commitment to professional-grade formulas, OPI quickly gained popularity among nail technicians and consumers alike. The brand's playful and expressive approach to nail color transformed it from a functional product to a fashion statement, making OPI a beloved and iconic name in the beauty world.

While OPI has grown into a global brand and is now part of the Wella Company, it maintains a significant connection to its American roots through its manufacturing. A substantial portion of OPI's nail lacquer production has historically taken place in the United States, specifically in California, where the company originated. This domestic manufacturing allows for close oversight of the production process, ensuring the quality, consistency, and adherence to the brand's high standards. By keeping a significant part of their manufacturing within the USA, OPI continues to contribute to American industry while delivering its widely recognized and sought-after nail colors to enthusiasts worldwide.
