OPI Nicki Minaj Collection: Haul, Review, Swatches, Photos

What hasn’t Nicki Minaj been doing lately? She has a lipstick out with MAC Cosmetics, a new single on the air waves and now a nail polish collection with OPI. This girl is busy. And I’m not even mad at her.

Nicki Minaj’s OPI collection is composed of 6 limited edition nail lacquers that are bold bright and over the top just like the artist. Each lacquer retails for $8.50 and are uniquely named after song’s off of Nicki Minaj’s  ”Pink Friday” album.

Here’s what I picked up from the Nicki Minaj collection. To see a complete list of available items. Head over to www.opi.com

Save Me is described as a clear polish with rainbow-colored holographic glitter bars. This polish isn’t a “wow” factor alone but, when layered over other polishes really add sparkle and shine to the nails. This polish applies a little patchy due to the glitter bars.

Did it on ‘Em is described as a Chartreuse lime green with a yellow undertone. The formula on this polis is cream and it applies nice and opaque with two coats. I thought this was an exact dupe for OPI’s “Who the Shrek Are You?” but, this one is a hint light and not streaky at all.

Metallic 4 Life is described as a charcoal translucent polish with small and medium silver hex glitter. This color is stunning but requires at least three coats to be opaque. I strongly suggest applying a layer black, pewter or gray polish first to make this one pop and look opaque.

Pink Friday is a creamy bubblegum pink. This color applied evenly and opaque with two coats. This color looks great on all skin tones. I wish  I could say the same for the “Pink Friday” lipstick that came out last year with MAC.

This collection overall is very nice. I’m still on the hunt for “Fly” and hopefully, I can find it soon as these polishes are flying on and off the shelves pretty quickly.  OPI can be found at JCPenny, Ulta and some local beauty supply stores.
