Yesterday I blogged about Nicki Minaj for O.P.I shade Save Me - link
and admitted that the shade was a little disappointing, I felt for a Spring collection
it felt a little late and would perhaps be better suited to a Festive Collection?
I really wanted to make this polish work for me without looking festive.
I tried it layered of a bright neon pink for a Barbie look that Nicki herself would have be proud of,
sadly the blue glitter bars clashed with the pink and looked off.
Then I decided if the blue glitter is going to dominate then it is best to work with it rather than against it!
I layered it over a lilac blue polish from the Miss Sporty Clubbing range - sadly it has no shade name
and I have to admit I'm pretty taken by the results!
Blue glitter nails without going down the snow queen route.
How would you wear O.P.I Save Me?
What are your thoughts on the Nicki Minaj O.P.I Collection?
Oooo I do like it over the bright blue!

I would wear it with a baby pink underneath. But the blue looks good too ;-)

you should it will save you lots of money :)
DeleteYour right to expect better from OPI. They normally have a colour range I totally lust after. The glitter look from any brand is strictly a special occasion thing, if you'd wear it at all.

I agree they normally have that one must have said and I feel this collection lacks that special shade...so disappointing!
DeleteThis is exactly the blue miss sporty nail varnish I wanted to buy last time I was in superdrug ! xx

It is one of my fav's :)
DeleteThis really does just look beautiful! xx
ReplyDeletethank you mel :)
DeleteI think you did a good job of keeping it from being too holiday-ish. I tend to feel that is where most glitters run towards. I think i've done a 180 in my nail polish habits. I used to only wear dark grungy colors and I didn't care if they were chipped. Now I mostly stick to a semi transparent red to give my nails a healthy look and I immediately fix it if it chips.
ReplyDeleteI am exactly the same, I used to love chipped black polish but now-a-days not so much haha :)
DeleteOk so it definitely looks a lot better over a blue polish! I prefer doing this with all the OPI glitter polishes. I think it just looks better over another polish.

thank you :) yeah I agree OPI glitters seldom do well on their own
DeleteLooks really pretty on top of the blue, where did you buy the OPI Nicki Minaj Polish? Xxx www.absolutletbeautiful.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteeBay lovely :) the link is on the other post :)
ReplyDeleteI have that blue Miss Sporty nail varnish, it's gorgeous underneath layers of glitter!

I wear Save me with Fly (also a polish from the OPI Nicki Minaj Collection) They look so good and compliment each other really well! :) x
ReplyDeleteI do love the OPI collections especially the shatter range. The only advice I can give when using the shatter range is not to overload the brush too much and make smooth strokes.
