OPI Nicki Minaj collection

Guess what I got?!!! I am so so so excited! I didn't think this collection was supposed to be out until January! I walked into Trade Secrets and had a heart attack! My boyfriend was nice enough to get me ALL of them for Christmas! I am absolutely in love with every single one! Take a look:

Aren't they wonderful?? I got them on Friday, and I didn't have enough time to post. I swatched them all though! I was debating grabbing the shatter because I am not really into the whole shatter trend, but it was called Super Bass shatter so it was a must because that's one of my favourite Nicki Minaj songs! So as you can probably guess, they are all named after a Nicki Minaj song, like Katy Perry's were. So cute! Here are my swatches:

This is "Pink Friday". The top picture is 1 coat, and the bottom picture is 3 coats. I didn't post the picture of 2 coats because it wasn't really necessary for me to do 3 coats, I just hate being able to see any evidence of streaks. I love this colour a lot! I think it is one of my favourites of the collection. I thought it was going to be very sheer like a jelly, like OPI Heart Throb (which I own)...but it is not at all. It is actually more pastel. It doesn't look quite like the shade of pink in real life as it does in the photos above. If you listen to Nicki Minaj, it is the exact replica of the pink on her CD cover for Pink Friday. I would recommend this if you like pinks, it will be a wonderful addition to your pink collection! I was very impressed with the outcome of this colour, and I loved the application. Not as streaky as other pastels I have used.

This is "Did it on 'Em". It is a bright green, with a hint of yellow. It reminds me of the green from the Shrek collection. I love this shade, but I have to say I am disappointed with the application. I thought this was going to be the more pastel colour, but in fact this is the jelly. The above photo is 1 coat, followed by 2. I would have been more satisfied with 3 coats, but I didn't have time to be honest. I think these photos portray the colour pretty accurately. I did all these swatches at night as I often do, so I can't often get photos of the colours in natural light. Stupid winter, making the sun set by 4:30!

This one is "Fly". The top is 1 coat, bottom is 2 coats. This is the colour I decided to wear for the night. It is a blueish-turquoise which I am in love with. I love love love the application of this, I thought it was going to  be the most difficult to apply but I was wrong! I am very impressed with how opaque it was with 1 coat. I put 2 because it was still see through, but overall a very nice application. You don't need to put it on very thick either to get the opaqueness, so it dries pretty quickly also.

This is "Save Me". I am super impressed with this colour! It definitely did not look as cool online as it does in person. It is very difficult to explain! It is a clear base with a whole lot of glitter. It is made up of tiny little silver glitter, blue rods, and holographic rods. The most prominent is the holographic rods, which are very unique! I posted photos of 1, 2, and 3 coats. I probably could have even did 4, but I didn't want it to peel. This is to be expected of a glitter with a clear base. I think I am going to try it with a black base. I have yet to try it over all the colours in this collection, which I think would turn out pretty neat. I am glad I got this glitter, and I am debating grabbing a second bottle because I love how unique it is. I don't think I have ever seen a glitter like this!

This is "Metallic 4 Life". I totally thought this would go on as black as it looks in the bottle. It is actually a charcoal base with a ton of glitter; black, silver, big, small. I decided not to layer a million coats of this on my nails because it would be very hard to get off, so I decided to layer it over black. I put 2 coats of OPI Black Onyx before putting 1 coat of Metallic 4 life. I love the way it turned out! I don't think I would ever use it without a black base. So I suggest if you buy this colour, grab a black for a base because it will be a lot easier for you to apply this colour. I enjoy this one very much, and I think I'm going to use it tomorrow.

This is "Super Bass Shatter" over top of all the other collection colours. I thought this was going to look awesome, but I am kind of disappointed with it. Like I said, I'm not a shatter fan to begin with...but this did not go on as nicely as I thought. It turned out well over the pink, but that's about it. I was expecting it to look awesome over the green but it didn't!

Overall though, I enjoy this entire collection! As I have been writing this review, I can't say that I have a favourite... because I love them all so much! What about you? What one is your favourite? What one(s) would you buy?
