Nikky Blonde's site doesn't have much in the way of personal info; in fact the free tour has more biographical tidbits than the member's section. The gist of it is she's a Hungarian chick married to some dude named Renato and she's got a skinny little body that serves her well in the porn business. She's pretty good at speaking English but with a very thick accent (which a lot of guys like). Her work includes solo scenes as well as hardcore boy/girl and girl/girl. Actually her husband appears in most of the boy/girl action so it's not like she's getting banged by a bunch of different dudes. From what I can tell she seems to be enjoying her pornstar life.
Nikky Blonde isn't one of those official sites that emphasizes interaction or a complete well-rounded experience. Instead it's more of a picture and video collection of Nikki in action that's also part of the Skin Network of sites. For contact and interaction there is only a couple email addresses, one for writing to Nikky and another to request a specific type of scene for her to perform.
The material online now is mostly typical pornstar action of Nikky with girls, Renato, and in small groups. The most extreme action is in one video with beer bottle insertions and squirting (which everyone seems to enjoy, there's a lot of laughing in that scene). In addition to the sex scenes there is pics and vids that are more candid of Nikky sleeping, getting ready in the bathroom, walking around town, and dressed casual around the house. The mix of both hardcore shoots and behind-the-scenes type content helps make the site more interesting.
I'm not a fan of the downloading choices. The formats are fine, there's WMV (both broadband & dialup speeds), MPEG, and XVID. Here what makes it tough: the WMV files stream with an in-browser player which means a small picture size and the MPEGs clips are short at about 1 minute each. Many videos have 30 or more clips which makes for a lot of wasted time clicking and downloading. The XVID ones are acceptable with usually 3 files per movie although they do take some time to download. Depending on the format it just seems that the clips are either too small or too big. The site's picture quality is also nothing to write home about; they're very average size and average quality.
The site is still rather small although in addition to her own content there is lots of bonus stuff including hardcore videos and access to all the other Skin Network sites. The $24.95/mo price is much more tolerable if you take advantage of all of those features. Right now it's not possible to tell what's upcoming for Nikky since there's no calendar of events or update schedule posted.

Nikky Blond remains a straightforward video and picture collection of this babe. New videos have been added although there still are no interaction features. What I like best about this site hasn't changed, Nikki, Renata, the other girls, and the camera crew always seem to have a blast during the shoots. Nikki especially, she just seems to dig being a pornstar which makes the movies that much more fun to watch. While there might not be member interaction, the bonus Skin VIP network still comes with membership and that does add significant value. These scores have changed: Quality +0.5, Updates +0.5, Features +0.5, and Value +0.5.
Score increased from 71.0 to 74.9.
