artistic director of opi, discusses her
passion for the nail industry and what’s
trending on tips this fall.
On the OPI San Francisco COlleCtIOn:“The Golden Gate Bridge was a big inspiration … San Francisco is such a great city; it has a European flair with West coast attitude. The collection is urban chic with a touch of glamour.” —Weiss-Fischmann

“Wear color.”“Nothing is taboo for nails.”
“At the end of the day, just have fun!”
ungarian born Suzi Weiss-Fischmann developed her instinct for col-or and style at an early age, refining her skills in New York’s garment industry while attending Hunter College. In 1989, Weiss-Fischmann created the first 30 OPI colors and revolutionized the nail industry forever. Today, she continues to craft iconic shades and offer spot-on predictions for upcoming trends in the nail industry while living in Los Angeles with her husband and two teenage children.
The influence Weiss-Fischmann has on the beauty and fashion industries was apparent at New York Fashion Week Fall 2013, where OPI delivered matte finishes, warm nudes and textured lacquers. “This is the era for nails. Gone are the days of wearing only seasonal trend colors such as light or bright in the summer and darker as the weather gets cold. Color, shape and texture of all varieties are now being embraced. Nothing is taboo for nails!” says Weiss-Fischmann.
Perhaps her success is a result of the enthusiasm and devotion she has for women and the nail industry. “I have a 19-year-old daugh-ter and a 98-year-old mother; I create for them and for every woman in between … polishes allow them to express themselves.” Her cre-ation of innovative nail products doesn’t hurt either. Weiss-Fischmann says OPI GelColor is here to stay and that gel polish services have invigorated the salon business, giving modern consumers so many more choices. She adds that it’s important to know your client and her lifestyle in order to recommend the correct services.
