Taking a page out of Katy Perry’s beauty book, Nicki Minaj is doing her own nail polish line for OPI.

The six-piece rainbow hued nail collection (which is scheduled to hit beauty counters early 2012) is made up of hues inspired by songs from the pop diva’s debut album, like Metallic 4 Life, Did It On Em and Pink Friday.

OPI is the second beauty partnership for Minaj - the wacky songstress joined forces with MAC Cosmetics in 2010 for a limited-edition Barbie-pink lipstick that was also inspired by Pink Friday.

The polishes will be sold at JC Penney, Ulta and other select retailers for $8.50 each.

It seems like every time we turn around, another beauty savvy celebrity has fashioned their hair into a top knot. And, quite honestly, we don’t like it! It kind of looks like someone plopped an apple fritter on top of your head while they ran off to go get a cup of hot cider.

Why has this trend taken off the way it has? And more importantly, how do you feel about it?
