Yes!!! Nicki Minaj has now infiltrated nails, out in January 2012, OPI is launching the NICKI MINAJ line, the colors are featured on the OPI.COM website where you are able to virtually try them on.

It appears to consist of three possible cream bases named, PINK FRIDAY, (which is pink) DID IT ON EM (which is an electric green, almost neon) and FLY(which is a gorgeous blue-green)

There are also three more beautiful shades, named, SUPER BASS SHATTER(a magenta, purple shatter) SAVE ME (looks like a glitter melody of pinks, blues and white and some silver) and METALLIC 4 LIFE(a navy blue shimmer maybe even frosty color with specks of silver or baby blue glitter)

I’m excited for these colors to come out soon then I can obtain them all and swatch them out for you guys…more to come soon

You ever give yourself a manicure for the week then notice the polish lifting or worse chipping? Well, I’ve got some neat tips on how to prolong the length of your weekly manicure…

1. It’s totally not necessary to soak your nails, nails can actually absorb a lot of water, which changes their shape, when the water later evaporates, the shape changes back.  This stresses the nail polish making it prone to chipping.

2. Use acetone not non-acetone based nail polish removers.  I’ve seen the non-acetone removers and they all promote enriched with vitamin E or some nutrient, these are nice in theory, but leave a oily residue on your nail plate, preventing a proper polish adhesion.

3. Dry your nails in an ice water bath to speed up drying time of both the surface and underlayers of polish.  Repeat this at least three times or as long as you can tolerate it.

4. I find applying a topcoat once daily helps as well.

5. If all else fails and you chip some or one nail, dab a finger in nail polish remover and smooth it over the area to blur the edges. Dot a bit of polish onto the spot, then apply topcoat over the entire nail.

I hope this helps guys and stay tuned for more tips…
