Today i have a quick post for you with some not so great swatches of OPI "Did It On 'Em" from the new Nicki Minaj collection. At first, meaning the press release, i was sooo excited about this collection and i was dead set of getting every piece of the collection. I'm no longer so thrilled. Between the press release and the physical release OPI changed the shades completely. However, walking through the mall i could not possibly pass up Planet Beauty with out checking on the polish racks. Originally, i was only going to get "Save Me," but i got %20 off if i got a second. "Did It On 'Em" caught my eye and i'm kicking myself for not getting "Fly" instead.
Application: First coat was sheer and looked just like gross moldy lemon. I had to use three solid coats and them some to get the coverage that i did. And of course with multiple coats comes a slow dry time, hence the dent on my ring finger
Formula:Sheer, left bald spots, not a luscious cream. I would expect this coverage quality from a low end or drug store brand, but OPI is up with the top of the pop, and i found it awful and annoying.
Color/Finish: I do enjoy this color. Untrue to the horrid artificial lit photo, "Did It On 'Em" is a unique color in between green and yellow. Typically what most people would call chartreuse. I did not have a shade similar.If you can achieve even full coverage with this polish you will have a lovely cream, one of my favorite finishes but when used in a proper formula.
This has been my personal experience with this particular polish, if you had a better, similar, or worse experience i'd love to hear about it in the comments below.
Finally! I was sick of reading the other blogger's reviews of this polish calling it an "almost one-coater" or a "two-coater" and the same with Fly. I swatched them both on a nail wheel and I needed 3 coats minimum there and I usually do thicker coats on my nail wheel. But the color is awesome. :)
