The Nicki Minaj OPI Collection 2012: Bottle Pictures

So yesterday, OPI released "accurate" bottle pictures on their facebook page of the Nicki Minaj Collection, which is scheduled to release in January 2012. Here is the picture below:

According to OPI, Super Bass is a "deep, shimmering purple", and Pink Friday is a "bubble gum hue".

Therefore, to the disappointment of MANY nail polish lovers and OPI lovers alike, Pink Friday is NOT an awesome pink holographic polish like we assumed...

SON, I AM DISSAPOINT.

I really wanted a pretty holographic polish to play around with...oh well :(

One day!

These shades still look very promising! I don't know about you guys, but I seriously can't wait for swatches of these babies! Do you see any colors that you like?

Nicki Minaj OPI Collection 2012!

O....M....G!!!

First Katy Perry...

Now Nicki Minaj...

YES!!!

Nicki Minaj will be doing a nail polish collection with powerhouse nail polish company, OPI! :D

The official launch of this collection will be in January, perfect timing for my birthday! He he

The six shades from the Nicki Minaj collection include:

METAL 4 LIFE

"This charcoal sparkle flies with the stars in the skies."

PINK FRIDAY

  is this a HOLO?!?!?!

"Kick off the weekend with this mesmerizing pink!"

FLY

"I came to win, to fight..and to wear this aqua."

SAVE ME

"I drove for miles just to find this silver-rainbow glitter."

DID IT ON 'EM

"A lusty little lacquer that loves the 'lime'-light."

SUPER BASS SHATTER

"A record-setting purple that 'shatters' before your eyes."

When I first saw these promo pictures, I wasn't too excited. Yet, now the more I think about what these colors could look like in person, the more excited I get!

I'm most excited for the Super Bass Shatter and Pink Friday, IF it's a holographic polish.

Yall know I'm a big Nicki Minaj fan, so I love how each polish name relates to one of her songs! Especially Super Bass Shatter and Fly, my two favorite Nicki songs at the moment! ♥

"Yes I did, yes I did! Somebody PLEASE tell 'em who the EFF I IZ!"

Do you see any must-have colors for yourself? I know I do!! ^_^

Nail Of The Day: China Glaze Shocking Pink w/OPI Black Shatter!

Hey my loves! Hope everyone is doing well =)

I would be doing great, it was wasn't RAINING cats & dogs outside!!! I know I've said this before, but I seriously can't stand the rain...it's such a downer for me -__-

So since it's been raining, I decided to try and brighten my mood with bright colored nails!

Whoever said neons are hard to photograph was not lying! I took so many pictures of this bad boy, and none of the pictures came out color-correct!! I don't own photoshop, so sadly I couldn't change the color of my pictures to make them more true to life =(

I think this picture above is the most color accurate out of all the pictures I took, but this pink is definitely lighter in person. On my nails, I'm wearing China Glaze Shocking Pink, with OPI Black Shatter on my index. Yup, I'm a fan of accent nails =)

 In case you were wondering, this is the same pink polish I was wearing during my latest Nicki Minaj inspired makeup tutorial!

I ♥ you neon pink!

Doesn't this color scream "SUMMER TIME!"? ^_^

My February Favorites!

I might just do a blog post with pictures soon, but until then here's the video =D

Happy Valentine's Day NOTD!

Hello all my Valentine's day lovers (& haters :P)! I hope everyone is having a good day today, whether you have a Valentine or not! Just think of it this way...God blessed you with another day to live, so there's no reason to complain! This holiday isn't an official holiday anyways..it's not like you get school or work off to celebrate..lol. Make this V-Day a Me-day if you don't have a Valentine. Treat yourself!

Anyways, on to my NOTD specifically for V-Day!

it started off like this:

 This is OPI Big Hair...Big Nails. I LOVE this color! OPI calls the formula a "sorbet" which is basically another name for "jelly" in this case. And luckily, I am a jelly lover! This is from their Texas collection.

this pic was taken in the sunlight

And THIS is my Valentine/Anti-Valentine's Day mani! I used OPI Black Shatter for the heart. I really like how it looks, I just wish my heart looked more like a heart! Lol! Please ignore the dent on my ring finger..it happened while I was trying to make the heart. Did anyone else wear a special mani for today?

Valentine's Day? Are you sure it's not Halloween??? (SPAM!)

OK...it's totally not Halloween..but I have had these Halloween themed manis on my computer for the LONGEST so I figured I'd share them with you!

This is OPI Unripened

China Glaze C-C-Courage

OPI Flit A Bit & China Glaze Spellbound ( ♥ ♥ ♥ )

Isn't Spellbound GOURGOUS???

 

 

Thats all for my spooky Halloween spam. Maybe we can consider it to be spooky V-day spam?

Old NOTD - OPI Sapphire In The Snow

Here's a mani I did in December. This a nail color from OPI called Sapphire in The Snow. I don't think this is your typical Christmas mani, but this polish is from an old OPI holiday collection. I was so happy to be able to find this color, because I was told that it was hard to find! I love blues, so this deep rich blue was a must for me.

 My camera pulled the color up more purple, but it's actually a deeper blue =)

Katy Perry for OPI Collection - Black Shatter

     If you're a fan of Katy Perry, then you know she always seems to be sporting some pretty awesome nail designs. Well did you know she did a nail polish collection with one of my favorite nail polish companies?! Katy Perry created a nail polish collection with OPI that includes four new nail polish colors and a black "crackle" polish, which is my favorite out of the collection. Last Friday Night, Not Like The Movies, Teenage Dream, and The One That Got Away are the four different polish colors included in the collection. In all honestly, those colors didn't really call to me. The only one I bought was the crackle polish, which is called Black Shatter.I was so happy to pick this one up because I've never owned a crackle polish before! When I was younger, I believe Cover Girl released a few crackle polishes. However, I was a child at the time, so I didn't have the money for it, and my mom didn't believe in buying nail polish for a child..go figure =\ Anyways, now I finally have my hands on my very own crackle polish, and I am so happy with it!
      In case you didn't know, crackle polishes are a sort of topcoat. You apply the crackle topcoat over a base color, and the polish begins to make a cracked effect on the nail. It gives off this cool shattered look, leaving your nails looking edgy and rockin'!

  

 This is OPI Black Shatter over Klean Color Pink Holo. I used one coat of Black Shatter. This polish dries matte, so if you want a shiny finish, I suggest you add a nice topcoat. Topcoat will also help make the polish stay on longer =)
