OPI/Nicki Minaj - Metallic 4 Life

I'm no Nicki Minaj fan. I am however a huge fan of OPI and this latest collection really catches my eye. The colours are amazing and just look at this promo image.
I find that incredibly inspirational! It makes me want to get out my kit and try to recreate them all. I just think its amazing.

So I was sent one shade from the collection to try out, Metallic 4 Life.
 Its small silver glitter and larger silver glitter in a black base. It is absolutely rammed with glitter which makes it quite gloopy, but that's just how heavily glittered polishes are, it's how it applies that matters and it applies perfectly.

I would say for perfection you need three coats, I noticed one nail was a little sheer after taking the photographs, but I've done two anyway. It's gorgeous. Sparkly and different. Love it!
 Each shade is £11 and available from www.lenawhite.co.uk NOW!

  1. Charlie, I do love the color! But what's your trick for taking off that kind of polish? I noticed that chunky sparkled nail polishes are incredibly hard to remove.

    1. hi Mari, I won't lie, this was a bloody nightmare to remove! Do you know about the foil trick? soak some cotton wool, place over nail, wrap in foil and leave for a while, ten minutes, then wipe off, comes off easily, but in reality I just can't be bothered and scrub it off in a huff with an increasingly scratty looking bit of cotton wool while all the glitter remains stuck to my nail!

  5. Really pretty on you. I'm not an OPI fan, I'm afraid. They have lovely colours but they chip too easily, despite base and top coat. With my lifestyle, I need industrial strength. In terms of a little glitter, have you heard of or tried Lynnderella? (not affiliated, just like to sparkle:-) )
