Update-Super Bass singer Nicki Minaj is following in the footsteps of fellow pop stars Katy Perry and Justin Bieber. The always colorful and animated rapper announced her line of OPI nail polish inspired by her songs.

Minaj collection called Nicki Minaj for OPI will include six shades. According to Rolling Stone magazine they are:

“Super-Bass Shatter” inspired by graffiti, the self-explanatory “Metallic 4 Life,” aquamarine and lime shades, and even a rainbow hue “Save Me” to match Minaj’s own head-turning coif. The sixth color? “Pink Friday,” of course.

Nicki’s Pink Friday lipstick was a hit with MAC cosmetics. This collection for Sephora launching January 2012 will undoubtedly do the same. I’m personally looking forward to this collection!

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
