A Bright, Nicki Minaj inspired look

Chris was sweet and bought us tickets to the recent Nicki Minaj Melbourne tour, and I decided to brighten it up for the night! I went for a bright lemon and lime inspired look with a dramatic winged liner, with MAC''s Viva Glam Nicki to really contrast with it.
I love the way the eyes are really bright, and though this photo isn't the most flattering (thanks iPhone!) I think it shows how much the colours really popped against my pale skin.

Nails of the night, alternating with OPI Did It On 'Em from the Nicki Minaj collection and essence Viva La Green.

  1. So perfect for the Nicki Minaj look! I can admire the bright eye shadow on others but I'm now in that age of sensible :( I used to rock a teal and magenta eye way back in the *cough* eighties though! I compensate these days with loud nail polish instead...

    1. @Vita I was very much channelling her bright personality when I did myself up :) I have been trying to push my Mum out of the 'boring' age of sensible into the 'pretty' age of sensible that you are in ;P You rock louder polish than me generally so that is good

  6. I love this bright look and the nails :)

    my favorite band is Finntroll, a folk metal band from Finland :) The singer is a finno-swede and the band has always sung in Swedish cause they think Swedish sound more troll like than Finnish ;) haha
    I have several bands/artists that I love but Finntroll is by far my absolute favorite :)

    1. @ana thank you :D I have heard of them I think, but haven't heard their music before. I like rap and hip hop in music but used to listen to a lot of metal back in the day!

  7. This is so appropriate for the concert, you really got into the spirit of things! :) I like that it's colourful and bold, but also very wearable, fun and flattering.
