In celebration of its 50th anniversary, ORLY has entered into a three-year agreement to become the first Official Nail Partner of the WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks. The partnership unites two established Los Angeles-based brands, combining ORLY’s expertise in performance-driven nail care with the Sparks’ platform for athletic excellence and self-expression.
Launching during a year of record-breaking viewership for women’s sports, the collaboration will introduce custom nail designs for Sparks players, exclusive behind-the-scenes content, and the debut of the 'ORLY Nail Check Cam,' providing fans with a close-up view of on-court nail artistry. The initiative is intended to highlight creativity and individuality both during games and beyond the court.
As part of the partnership, ORLY will release limited-edition 'Game Day Glam' kits. Each kit features three Sparks-inspired nail polish shades, along with a top coat, 'Nail Defense' base coat, and cuticle oil, offering fans an opportunity to recreate the looks seen on their favorite players.
