Nicki Minaj Diversifies With OPI Nail Polish Deal
Nicki Minaj is giving new meaning to her album title “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded,” launching a vibrant limited edition collection of nail polish in collaboration with OPI Nail Lacquer. The Trinidadian-born American musician has partnered with OPI to create six dynamic polish colors, including a bright aqua “Fly,” metallic silver “Metal 4 Life,” purple crackle “Super Bass Shatter,” silver “Save Me,” and –you guessed it—the shocking pink of “Pink Friday.”
Minaj, whose first album went platinum last year, follows in the footsteps of fellow artists Katy Perry and Justin Bieber who have also released OPI color collections. For Katy Perry, “Last Friday Night,” appeared as an electric blue, while Bieber’s “One Less Lonely Girl,” shone in a glittery purple.
“OPI is so excited to work with Nicki,” said Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director in a company release. “Nicki has taken the hip hop world by storm, but her music is only part of the equation. She’s also become a fashion inspiration, noted for her daring costumes and hair color both on and off the stage.”
Of course Minaj is no stranger to such dazzling partnerships—the artist is also the new female face of makeup company MAC’s “Viva Glam” campaign for 2012, which stands to raise millions for those battling HIV/AIDS via sales of Viva Glam Lipstick and Lipglass gloss. In 2010, the campaign fronted by Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper raised more than $32 million, and this year Ricky Martin joins Minaj to raise even more funds for research and awareness.
One things for certain, with so many colors to choose from for both nails and face, Minaj will have her pick of the glitter when she hits the road on her first headline tour later this year. The only question is which ones Niki will wear, and which ones will be sported by her alter ego Roman Zolanski!
Fans interested to coordinate colors with Minaj (or Roman) can find her new OPI line for sale at Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and ULTA, for $8.50 per bottle.

Discovering a gorgeous shade of nail polish is similar to falling in love at first sight; it’s instantaneous and hard to ignore. Nail color has become an accessory, like killer heels or a great bag, yet a manicure done professionally or at home is the easiest way to appear more polished (pun intended). Whether you’re a nail polish junkie or testing the lacquered waters, we’ve got a list of nail colors that will surely pique your interest. Explore our favorites and find the hue that tugs at your heart strings.
Nicki Minaj Reveals OPI Nail Polish Collection
Love her or hate her, you cannot deny her hustle. ’Nicki the Boss’ and coveted nail polish brand, OPI, have joined forces to produce six dazzling and colorful shades. The name of each nail polish in the collection is inspired by the rapper’s platinum debut album, Pink Friday, and its hit track list:
- “Metal 4 Life” (shimmery gunmetal gray)
- “Pink Friday” (iridescent Barbie pink)
- “Save Me” (rainbow glitter-infused light blue)
- “Fly” (neon sky blue)
- “Did it On Em” (fluorescent lime green)
- “Super Bass” (deep plum, shatter polish)
These hues are as bold as the MC’s style! OPI is not the first to recognize Nicki Minaj’s unique style or selling power. Last year, Minaj collaborated with MAC Cosmetics on a “Pink Friday” lipstick and it sold out immediately. It’s no wonder OPI decided to add her nail polish collection among their celebrity lines including, Serena Williams, the Kardashians and Katy Perry. We bet Minaj wishes she could have “this moment for life.”
Can’t wait to get your hands on these cute colors? Be patient, Barbies! The polishes will be available for purchase January 2012.

The creators of Minx have realized that not everyone can fork up $55 to get that tin foil look on their nails that celebs and fashionistas rave about. They’ve teamed up with OPI for a $15 solution — Chic Prints. Chic Prints provides the look and feel of Minx for a fraction of the price and you can do-it-yourself.
