Did It On ‘Em

Name: Did It On ‘Em

Collection: Nicki Minaj Collection

Colour: Neon Yellowy Lime

Coats: 1-2

Pros: The formula was nice and creamy so it applied well.

Cons: I don’t know how long this polish lasts because honestly as soon as I put it on I thought it was so gross that I removed it right away. Okay OPI, maybe this colour was semi-appropriate when you released it in the Shrek collection because it fit with the movie but seriously not again! I’m not sure if it was just that this sickly green-yellow didn’t work with my skin tone but I’m pretty sure this wouldn’t look great on anyone.

Similar shades: Very similar to “Who the Shrek Are You?” from the Shrek Forever After Collection, except it has more of a yellow undertone.

Pink Friday

Name: Pink Friday

Collection: Nicki Minaj Collection

Colour: Bright, Pale Pink

Coats: 2

Pros: Finally a light pink that is completely opaque! OPI has so many beautiful light pinks but I always have to put a thick white undercoat that makes the polish hard to remove. It has a great thick consistency that leaves a nice glossy pink crème.

Cons: Starts to peel and dent after a day or two.

Similar shades: “Second Honeymoon”, “Sweet Memories”, the list goes on and on as OPI has so many gorgeous light pink shades

Fly

Name: Fly

Collection: Nicki Minaj Collection

Colour: Aqua

Coats: 2

Pros: A bright and fun combo of blue and green that looks fab on any skin tone! Great coverage and a perfectly bold, long lasting colour. It is ideal for a tropical holiday getaway (or to make you feel like you are on one).

Cons: I really liked this polish from start to finish!

Similar shades: No OPI colour is quite as bold an aqua as this shade but “Austin-tasious Turquoise” and “Gone Gonzo” are both lighter, sparkly aqua shades.

Save Me!

Name: Save Me!

Collection: Nicki Minaj Collection

Colour: Silver Glitter with Thin, Multi-coloured Confetti

Coats: 2

Pros: This glitter is so glitzy and fabulous! I have never seen confetti glitter in an OPI polish before so this was a new and exciting take on glitter for me. I was surprised at how well it covered my nails as OPI has been making quite a few glitters lately that I can only use as a top coat.

Cons: I dislike the texture that the confetti leaves as it is rough and gets caught on clothing causing chips. Like “Metallic 4 Life” this Nicki polish also chips along the nail tips pretty quickly, yet is difficult to remove.

Similar shades: The only similar polish I can think of is Muppet’s “Rainbow Connection” as it uses silver and multicolour glitter, only with bigger circles instead of confetti and less coverage.

Metallic 4 Life

Name: Metallic 4 Life

Collection: Nicki Minaj Collection

Colour: Black Gel with Silver Flecks

Coats: 2

Pros: Tough and trendy, this hard hitting polish is so fun to wear because it blends darkness with glam in a stunning combination. It was pretty easy to put on but did get a little gloopy near the tips. The first goes on as more of a dark grey gel with sparkles so I think it could even be tried as a sort of top coat for a light polish. The flecks of silver within the polish vary in size shape, adding a bold, broken mirror look effect. I like that it is more exciting than just plain black or “Lincoln Park After Dark.” I would definitely wear this to a club or concert, especially with a leather jacket!

Cons: Unfortunately, when this polish chips, it really falls apart in big chunks and it doesn't take long for this to happen. This is another reason why I would wear this for like one night out as it is high impact for a short time.

Similar shades: I really can’t think of anything like this polish other that “DS Mystery” which is more of a purple-black with lots of fine shimmer dust. Also, you could try a black polish like “Black Onyx” and add a top coat of “Crown Me Already”
