OPI Nicki Minaj collection

When I heard Nicki Minaj was collaborating with OPI on a collection I could hardly contain my excitement. I love what she wears, she really makes it her own and goes all out. So I knew her collection would be amazing! I bought the whole collection which I have never done before, but then came the hard part of deciding which to wear first...


I couldn't, so I did a skittle mani with all the colours:



Thumb - Fly, two coats
Index - Metallic For Life, three coats
Middle - Did It On 'Em, three coats
Ring - Pink Friday, three coats
Pinky - Save me, two coats, layered over OPI Servin' Up Sparkle (silver), two coats

My inner 6 year old is very proud of this manicure, and I love it. Against neutral clothes the colours really pop.

China Glaze For Audrey

I am obsessed with Tiffany & Co jewellery, especially the beautiful box, ribbon and bag you get with it. There's nothing better than seeing this little box on your birthday, Valentines Day, or Christmas Day. They can do no wrong. Tiffany & Co have trademarked the actual colour they use for their bags and boxes, but China Glaze have done an amazing job at nearly replicating the colour in the beautifully named "For Audrey."


This was my first China Glaze polish that I bought, and I fell in love. Everytime I wear this colour I am constantly complimented on it, both by females and males. Being a pastel creme it takes three coats to get it completely opaque as it can be a bit streaky, but it's totally worth it. Take a look!



And compared to the Tiffany & Co box...



Pretty colour accurate, huh?


This colour used to not be very common, but I'm so glad there are so many variations of this around now. Although I'll need a backup bottle of this... I don't think I could live without this colour in my life, ha ha!

OPI Cajun Shrimp

Sometimes you just need something simple, classic, yet eye-catching. That's when you need OPI Cajun Shrimp. The perfect colour combination of red and coral, it's perfection in 3 thin coats and didn't chip after 5 days! I am usually not into red polish, but this one has the right amount of coral to it to have a special place in my heart. This particular bottle also has some sentimental value - I bought it at a pharmacy in New York when I was sick and needed medication. It was the perfect pick me up!


As you can see I've used nearly 25% of the bottle which is very rare for me! A must have colour, perfect for manicures and pedicures.
