After getting myself to the OPI craze thanks to the two minis (Pink Friday & Fly) which I received in my Vanity Trove February subscription, I bought a retail size bottle of Save Me from the same collection. I bought this bottle for RM26 only from eBay along with a bottle of Seche Vite Top Coat for just RM18.

Save Me is something which I’ve been craving for the longest time. I finally took some time to search online and placed my order as soon as I found the cheapest seller. I know what you’re thinking. How could it be authentic for the price I paid right? Don’t worry. I’ve double check and it’s really authentic. Maybe next time I’m gonna do a Authentic vs Fake post for OPI eh?

The minute I saw Save Me upclose, my heart skipped a beat as it’s so gorgeous and glittery too.

This label on the bottom of the bottle is very important to determine the authenticity of the brand. I won’t elaborate in detail. Do look out for upcoming Authentic vs Fake post ya

I don’t know why. It’s very “gluey”. Maybe because the whole bottle contain silver flecks and bar glitters. And it dries up pretty fast too. I need to work on this very fast before it dries down. Normally I need to run the brush to the side of the bottle inner opening before applying but because this contain loads of glitters I can’t do that otherwise nothing will be on my nails!

This is the first time I’m wearing it so I plan to wear it alone before using this as a top coat on top of other color nail polish. I think Save Me will look absolutely beautiful with Fly!

I’m using two coats on my nails. It’s more than enough. Stunning even on it’s own.

Look how beautiful and glittery Save Me is. Nice right? Actually in real the silver flecks is more visible. In my pictures you can’t see it so clearly. It’s not transparent. It’s really covering all my nails.

Anyone own Save Me or any color from Nicki Minaj collection?

Can you believe that my first OPI nail polish is this OPI Mini from Nicki Minaj Spring 2012 Collection. I’ve gotten Pink Friday and Fly from my February Vanity Trove subscription a few months back. As I was rocking Pink Friday last week, I thought I might share with you what I think about my very first OPI!

OPI Nicki Minaj #Pink Friday is as loud and fierce looking as Nicki herself! Her OPI collection pretty much resemble her taste in fashion. Which is superb as I love her style very much. I love all colors in her collection and I was thinking to get the whole mini collection

The color looked totally perfect on anyone at first glance. Even when I take a closer look at the nail polish, I still think anyone can rock this color. I totally forgotten that Pink Friday is bubble pink creme and not those usual pink that I used to wear.

When I first apply this, it was on my toe nails. It looked absolutely ridiculous and horrible unlike Fly (the teal color from the same collection). That time I was pretty much sun burn so I was kinda tan. If you are on darker skin tone, this color is not for you. In fact bubble gum cream color will not be suitable for you.

I tried it on my hand and I was happy that the first coat looks okay on me. After I applied the second coat, the same horrible look appears. Below picture doesn’t justify it :(. It was taken the morning after application so please don’t judge my bad application ok? I’m not a nail polish expert LOL!

See! It looked horrible on my darker skin.

Enough of all the negative comments (on me at least). Here comes the good point about OPI.

I absolutely like how fast the nail polish dries up. By the time I’m done with the second hand, my first hand is ready for second coat. So I was going left, right, left and right again. It was that easy, simple and fast too. I think OPI really live up to it’s name. It’s long lasting on me but once it started to chip after 1 week, everything will start to chip even more. I wasn’t upset with it cause I like to wipe off my nail polish on weekly basis and reapply a new coat or color.

Although nail polish is last on my must-buy list, somehow I can’t stop myself from picking up a bottle or two. In fact I plan to get more OPIs

What’s your very first OPI like?
