Get Nail'd!

Well today's post is dedicated to the ladies that love to keep their nails looking Haute!!!! OPI is one of my favorite Nail Lacquer Brands because the polish lasts long, doesn't chip easily, and never gets dull. I love the shades that they offer, and I'm always ready to see the fun, flirty names underneath each bottle. Well, OPI has teamed up with the Harajuka Barbie, Nicki Minaj, and will be releasing her Pink Friday Collection in 2012. In true Nicki fashion, the colors are bold, fun, fly and in your face shades. Here's a peek at some of the promo shots:



I'm rather sure all you Barbz will be supporting our girl Nicki with her latest business venture with OPI!!!!

Next up is another nail trend that's popular with celebs like Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady Gaga & countless more are the "Stiletto Nails." These sharp, pointy, dagger style nails are whats hot now in the nail game! I mean I think they are fierce, buuuuut I don't think I could operate at work functionally with those claws! They also double as a great weapon (not that I recommend resulting to violence) LoL!! Here's a peek at a few different designs:





Werrrrrkkkkkk!!!!!!

Last but definitely not least are Minx nails! This trend has been on the scene for a while and is still going strong! What I love about Minx nails are all the fun, crazy designs that you can find! Minx nails are another fav of the celebrities as well. Here's a few:





So Ladies, get to your local nail salon and get Nail'd!!!!!

Love and kisses!
