OPI Pink Friday, Super Bass Shatter and Save Me

Hey guys!  Today I have some more of the Nicki Minaj for OPI collection to show you.  I apologize in advance for the chips, but a bit of dish-washing and cooking this morning was enough to leave me with a few chips.  For this mani I used two coats of Pink Friday as a base.  Then for an accent nail I used one coat of Save Me topped with Super Bass Shatter.  I like all the polishes in this mani, but I don't really care for the accent nail combined with Pink Friday.

2 coats Pink Friday, Save Me and Super Bass Shatter Accent Nail + Poshe topcoat, artificial light

Pink Friday is pastel creme version of a bubble gum pink.  I really like it.  It's 4 Free and doesn't have the patchiness issues that most pastel polishes have.  The formula is pretty spot on and just as smooth as Fly was.  I can't really tell you much about Save Me yet, but it is a clear top coat with holographic shimmer and also has a lot of holographic bar glitter.  The jelly dries matte and leaves the glitter very rough, but nothing a good topcoat can't fix.  As for Super Bass Shatter, it is a maroon shatter pretty similar in formula to the other OPI shatters.  It's a bit like the blue and turquoise shatters and has a fine matching shimmer mixed into it.  I can't wait to try it with a base that contrasts a bit more loudly!  A few final notes - so far the collection seems chip-prone.  My Electric Beat mani didn't chip for at least 4+ days.  Fly and Pink Friday didn't make it a full 24 hours, even with careful tip-wrapping.  I have polish ADD and like an excuse to switch up my nails, but I know some normal people like to keep their manis in tact for a few days!  Also, Fly left some pretty intense stains even with a reliable base coat.  I still love it though!
