Pink Everyday!

OPI Partners with Platinum Recording Artist Nicki Minaj to Launch Limited Edition Lacquers

                OPI announces the launch of six new limited edition shades inspired by hip hop sensation Nicki Minaj, including a purple Shatter!  Inspired by Minaj’s unique style, love of bright colors, and her debut album Pink Friday, the Nicki Minaj by OPI promotion will feature an array of bold hues, from neon lime green to pink.

 “OPI is so excited to work with Nicki in releasing these six new nail lacquers,” said Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director.  “Nicki has taken the hip hop world by storm, but her music is only part of the equation. She’s also become a fashion inspiration, noted for her daring costumes and hair color both on and off the stage.”

Nicki’s eclectic look made including a new hue in OPI’s bestselling Shatter coat a must for this collaboration. The purple Super Bass Shatter(a record-setting purple that “shatters” before your eyes) is inspired by graffiti art and works when painted over any dry OPI hue. Adding top coat takes Super Bass Shatter from matte to glossy in seconds. 

The line features five nail lacquers in addition to Super Bass Shatter, ranging from fantastic pink, rainbow confetti glitter and charcoal sparkle hues to two green shades in lime and teal:

Pink Friday
Kick off the weekend with this pop! of bubblegum pink. 

Metallic 4 Life
This charcoal sparkle flies with the stars in the skies.

Save Me
I drove for miles just to find this silver-rainbow glitter.

Fly
I came to win, to fight…and to wear this aqua.

Did It On ‘Em 
A lusty little lacquer that loves the “lime”-light.

Nicki Minaj by OPI nail lacquers contain no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde, and feature OPI’s exclusive ProWide^™ Brush for the ultimate in application.

The Ice Qream Man

Pharrell Williams is back with yet another dope business venture. Just last year, Williams teamed up with Moncler and created a sick outer wear collection that would have any dope-boy-fresh fashionisto wanting more and he even ventured into cosmetics collaborating with Kiehls.

This year, he signed on as creative director for Karmaloop TV and he also created his on vodka-based cream liqueur line -Qream with the same company (Diageo) that helped Diddy create Ciroc.

I know most of you are thinking every Artist has a liqueur line now-a-days, but it’s a great move! It’s lucrative & profitable. Just think about it, music & spirits go hand and hand. When your down and out, depressed and S.O.L -what do you do? You turn to your favorite artist to soothe you, and a nice stiff drink to move you! Cha-ching$$!! Another couple million to add to the bank.

The brilliant thing about the branding and marketing behind Qream is, he created this specifically for the Ladies. Every curve of the bottle exudes femininity, and the flavors remind me of every woman’s guilty pleasures…

 Peach -makes me think of a sexy dessert or a sexy fragrant lotion by Victorias Secret or Fresh.

Strawberry -reminds me of my favorite chocolate covered strawberries from Godiva on Valentines day.

In a recent interview with Elle.com, Pharrell stated:

 “I thought the market was lacking in drinks for women that make them comfortable about indulging. Every time you look at the television, it’s all Spanx and Bally Fitness. When I think of the women I’m aiming for, I think of Sarah Jessica Parker…a confident women that’s in the know, from the shoes to the news.”

I have to personally hit Mr. Williams up to create a signature “Haute Coffee & Qream” cocktail!

Ummm, that made my mouth water just typing that!

Robin Thicke Raps to Lil Wayne’s ‘A Milli’ (by RapUpTVLIVE)

Hold up…. I’m SPEECHLESS! Robin Thicke is definitely a vanilla latte, that we at Haute Coffee love served extra hott!!

Not only is he one of the coolest & most soulful white guys since Frank Sinatra & Justin Timberlake, but his music is super dope. His voice is lyrical sex on a platter and his style exudes confidence… I mean he is rapping to ‘A milli’ by Lil Wayne?! Did Eminem even do a cover to this??

**I give this performance 5stars and a slap on the ass:)**

Am I the only person in the world who is in love with the (VH1’s) Mob Wives theme song? I think NOT!!

Shia Leboeuf has definitely come along way since his days as an adolescent on Disney’s Even Stevens! The Transformers star is quickly rising to the ”A-list” which equals SEXY here at Haute Coffee, and Details Magazine did a fantabulous job with his coveted spread.

This is the kind of Geek to Chic moment that only happens in Tinsel town…
