Fossil's Wizard of Oz limited edition watch - £199

This limited edition Fossil watch has been designed in celebration of the 85th anniversary of the Wizard of Oz (

We know, this isn't specifically Wicked-themed per se but if you know your stuff, you'll know that Wicked is sort of a prequel to the Wizard of Oz as it follows the origin story of the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba, and this black crystal fabric watch is Elphaba-inspired all the way. With a strap decorated in sparkles and a watch face whose background features the silhouette of the Wicked Witch of the West (ie Elphaba) upon a green sunray dial, it's a gorgeous nod to the character and therefore show.

It's even got a Glinda edition, decorated in pink crystals, here.

The limited edition watch - which was created to celebrated the Wizard of Oz's 85th anniversary - even has a custom second hand disc which is accented with a winged monkey.

Paying homage to both iconic witches in the show, Glinda and Elphaba, this nail polish duo allows you to channel one or both characters with a pretty manicure. Whether you love a shimmering fairy-dust pink or an olive-toned green with swirls of gold, this nail set will give your nails a high shine finish that lasts for days thanks to its long-lasting pigment.

Those who have already snapped up the set have loved it, stating: "Fantastic colours, great depth and hard wearing," although one did note: "The green lasted longer than the pink."

Our very own Narin Flanders tried the Wicked-themed advent calendar by OPI and said of the same green hue inside: "As someone who had sworn off green as a manicure colour because it always made me worry I was looking a bit gangrenous, it surprised me how much I loved it - to the extent I’m thinking about picking up a full-size bottle of the limited edition shade, Ozitively Elphaba. For me, at least it’s the Holy Grail of green nail varnish and was a genuine surprise - and one of the joys of this kind of gift set as normally I’d have walked right past if I’d seen it in a shop."
