About Suzi

Known worldwide as the “First Lady of Nails,” OPI Co-Founder & Brand Ambassador Suzi Weiss-Fischmann initially made her mark on the beauty industry in 1989, when she created the first 30 OPI nail lacquers. Thanks to her keen eye for color, several of these shades still remain bestsellers in OPI’s classics collection, including OPI Red, Malaga Wine and Coney Island Cotton Candy. 

In her 35 years at OPI, Suzi has continued to set trends for the nail industry. She ignited the dark nail revolution with the deep purple Lincoln Park After Dark, was the first to add real diamond dust to nail lacquer, and mainstreamed nail art with Shatter by OPI. 

Suzi has created thousands of iconic OPI shades, including You Don’t Know Jacques!, Russian Navy, Bubble Bath and Cajun Shrimp. I’m Not Really a Waitress, one of her best-known colors, has been heralded as the perfect shade of red by women across the globe. Allure inducted this lacquer into its Beauty Hall of Fame in 2011, after it won the Best Nail Polish award nine times. 

Suzi’s work not only makes its way into each bottle of OPI nail lacquer, her name is featured on many of her creations. Every seasonal collection includes a namesake shade as a nod to its renowned designer. 

Suzi pioneered the development of OPI partnerships, elevating consumers’ overall brand experience.
