OPI Nicki Minaj Minis



L-R: Did It On Em, Fly, Pink Friday, Metallic 4 Life.


I was given these from one of my friends as I love nail varnish and Nicki Minaj so this was the perfect combo for me. I really like the idea of the mini sets as it is a great way to try out the different shades plus they are so cute and perfect for traveling. I was so excited when I first got this as they looked so small and I love the colours. I actually wore all four shades on my nails, like the picture, after testing them out. For some reason I think that they work perfectly together (with a bright purple on my thumb) and I couldn't stop looking at how bright they looked.

I am going to stop gushing about these now and attempt to review them.

Did It On Em: This is a luminous lime green and was the first shade I noticed when I opened the box. It is so bright and eye catching, it is perfect for summer neon nails. You do need to use 2-3 coats with this to get a good cover of your nail but I tend to use at least two coats any way so this is not a deal breaker for me but it is annoying when you only have a mini size as you don't have a lot of product.

Fly: This is my favourite polish from the set as I just love the colour which is a bright teal. I think this shade is perfect for any time and place. Fly had the best colour payoff out of the set as only one coat is needed. This is the shade that I would love to have a full size polish in as I am currently rationing it.

Pink Friday: For me this is best baby'bubblegum pink shade ever, I love it. The only downside is that you need at least 3 coats to get a good colour which can be a pain but it is worth putting on the three coats as the nail varnish really lasts on your nails as do all the polishes in this set.


Metallic 4 Life: When I first got the set this was the polish that I was the least excited for. I thought it would just be a dark glitter top coat however I was really surprised that it was a black polish with silver glitter. I really like the shade as it is a fun and glam black polish. The black is not jet black as the colour is slightly opaque however for once I prefer it as the glitter would not look as good with a darker black.

I think it is safe to say that I am a big fan of these mini's. I just think they are a great range of colours of good quality.
