OPI was originally named Odontorium Products Inc and started off as a small dental supply company. The company was purchased by George Schaeffer in 1981, with Suzi Weiss-Fischmann joining as Executive Vice President and Artistic Director shortly after.
Schaeffer and Weiss-Fischmann partnered with R. Eric Montgomery, a biochemist, to create an acrylic nail system that Schaeffer sold door-to-door to local nail salons. They eventually closed the dental sales and focused entirely on nail products, changing the company name to OPI Products Inc. In 1989, OPI expanded its portfolio to nail lacquers and the company eventually evolved into the much-loved, globally successful brand we know today! OPI was eventually acquired by Coty, Inc in 2010.

OPI has also created exclusive lacquers shades for the Lung Cancer Foundation of America, Breast Cancer Awareness and the American Heart Association. In addition, after such disasters as 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, OPI employees banded together and raised $350,000 for the American Red Cross.
