The same year that Pantone heralded emerald as its color of the year, Broadway blockbuster Wicked also just happens to be celebrating its 10th anniversary. (Do you think Pantone knew?) Coincidence or not, Deborah Lippmann is now capitalizing on the color trend and the Broadway festivities by releasing a limited-edition trio of mini lacquers inspired by the Halloween-ready musical.

It's a launch that perfectly befits Lippmann, who is known to be quite the music enthusiast herself. The celebrity-manicurist-cum-professional-singer already has two jazz albums under her belt and is known to name her polishes after well-known songs. When we watched a performance of Wicked with Lippmann last week, she revealed that she had seen show at least a whopping 12 times already.

To create the three-piece line, Lippmann was granted exclusive access behind the scenes to precisely color-match her paints with the costumes. Her first shade, Defying Gravity, is a mossy green crème that reflects Elphaba's skin tone. "We used pieces of fabric from her bodysuit and of course her makeup—M.A.C Chromacake in Landscape Green—as inspiration," she said. "I love this shade because when you're at home, you can transform into Elphaba and become her. She's the girl who is a little bit different, but at the end of the day, we're all different so you can use this polish whenever you want show off your individuality."

Next, Lippmann brewed Popular, a glistening fuchsia hue that mimics the iridescent pink gown worn by the effervescent Glinda during her crowd-favorite number. "It was interesting to hear that sometimes the fabric [they use] stops being made, and it has to be specially created in order to remake the dress," she noted. "We have similar issues when creating nail polish: a specific ingredient or a certain type of glitter won't be available any longer. It was such an interesting realization."

Finally, Lippmann concocted One Short Day, a glittery emerald, to capture the "Ozmopolitan" charm of The Emerald City. "It has the glamour of Oz, and to me, is The Emerald City in a bottle," she enthused.

The entire set is available now on Lippmann's website and at Sephora for $29. We can't decide witch—ahem, which—shade we love most.
