You don’t have to be a musical fanatic to know that co-stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are currently romping around the world to promote their highly-anticipated film, Wicked.
Though it hits theaters on Nov. 22, the Oz-loving girlies can already buy their movie tickets in advance — and many will be dressed for the viewing in a ‘fit inspired by one of two witches: the emerald green Elphaba or the pink-wearing Glinda. And your thematic dressing isn’t complete without a matching manicure.
When in doubt, you can simply paint a couple coats of green or pink nail polish onto your tips in honor of the film. But for those who prefer to have a bit of fun with their nails, Wicked is the perfect excuse to go all-out (just like Erivo has been doing with her manis at each premiere).
For one, adding a chrome finish is the easiest way to rock a statement-making set. Other ideas include adding some Emerald City-inspired glitter, good witch-approved coquettecore ribbon adornments, and cool girl swirls.
Here, find 13 Wicked-inspired nail art ideas that are *so* Elphaba and Glinda-coded.
1Cynthia Erivo’s Bedazzled Mani
2Ariana Grande’s Signature French Tips
Throughout the filming Wicked — both on-set as Glinda and off-set, too — Grande has stayed true to her signature manicure: classic, white-tipped French nails. Especially considering the pale pink base of this mani, it’s an easy choice for those who want to channel Glinda’s vibes.

These pastel pink gingham print details are a subtle nod to Dorothy’s outfit in The Wizard of Oz and work as a team Glinda mani.
6Dark Green Chrome Details

11Smoky Green Swirls
These smoky swirls in shades of forest, olive, and emerald green are reminiscent of the Wicked Witch being surrounded by smoke as she screams “I’m melting!”
