Girls Night!!

So last night my sister Mel, and my bff Sarah came over for a little girl time. They wanted to do their nails which was fine with me, especially since Sarah is a Salonaholic, and almost never paints her own nails. 
Funny enough they picked almost the exact same things, and the little difference is definitely conducive to their personalities.

Sarahs Nails: OPI Fly & Konad Princess white

Plates M57 & M13

Mels nails: Zoya Jo & Konad Princess White, Plates M57 &M28
I like the skulls on Sarahs nails better, but Mel HATES them, they just aren't punk enough for her :P I'm gonna practice free handing anarchy symbols for her, for next time, lol. I'll let you guys know how that works out. As always thanks for checking my pics hope you like them!

OPI NICKI MINAJ SUPER BASS SHATTER!!!

♪Boy you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Beating like a drum and it's coming your way
Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass
Yeah that's that super bass♪ -
Nicki Minaj SuperBass

I swear Nicki got my heart beat running away for real, she is killin' it in every way, in everything she does. I mean who else can call Slick Rick that guy with the thing on his eye!! Lol.
So here it is, my second polish from the Nicki Minaj Collection from OPI, Super Bass Shatter, named of course, for her smash hit Super Bass.

The obligatory label shot... someone on the line was slacking :p
This shimmery plum purple shatter was definitely calling my name :P The colour is awesome, and I have a few regular polishes in this same colour range. I was already wearing Color Club Antiquated, so I quickly topped it with Super Bass. I think it looks fantastic, the neutral base colour really allows the shatter to be focal point, instead of just being part of the look.

 
yep thats my camera string

The formula on this seems a little less goopy than the previous OPI shatters I have, and went on super smooth. All in all I think this is probably one of my favorite collections so far. I think the colours are totally on point with Nickis persona, and I can't wait to grab a few of the other colours.

OPI NICKI MINAJ METALLIC 4 LIFE SWATCH AND REVIEW!!!!!

I wanna start by saying I LOVE NICKI!!! My favorite song is probably Save Me off Pink Friday, and then Romans Revenge with Eminem. :DDDDD

Ok now on to the nails.... My sister brought home 2 of the polishes from the Nicki collection last night. To say I was excited would be an understatement. Lucky for me she bought the one colour I've had my eye on since the press pics, Metallic 4 Life (named for her song Moment For Life) so here are some pics.

Packed with sparkles!!
idk some people take pics of the labels

This colour is AMAZING. If you could bottle rockstar this would be it. 

Metallic 4 life is semi transparent black jelly, jam packed with all different sizes of silver glitter, from tiny sparkles, to medium hex. It was totally opaque with 2 coats no base colour, and it is almost blinding its so light catching. The formula on this is thick, but i liked it MUCH better than any of the Muppets Collection glitters. It painted very evenly considering how glumpy it was from all the sparkles, and I got no bare spots.

My only complaint is that because its got so much glitter in it, the tips of my nails were scratching and snagging everything, and I needed at least 2 coats of top coat to smooth it out. On the plus side of that, the top coat added even more dimension.


All in all this is a definite win for me and I am not disappointed in the least. I can't wait to grab a few more colours from this collection.
