OPI Couture de Minnie 2013 Collection

When I saw these nail lacquers on my doorstep, I was giddy with excitement, as I am a huge Disney fan, specifically Minnie. I love her pink outfits, her red or pink shoes, just her poise and all her pink goodness. These nail lacquers from OPI's Couture de Minnie collection really pick up the theme of Minnie Mouse (pink and everything girly), and Minnie's persona is easily seen in the nail polishes.
Here are my swatches and thoughts on the OPI Couture de Minnie 2013 collection:
OPI A Definite Moust-Have is my absolute favorite out of all the nail polishes in this collection. It's a beautiful, vibrant watermelon pink. It has an obedient formula - it's so easy to apply on the nails that it virtually applies itself. The color truly screams summer - and it's easily the perfect mani or pedi color this season.
OPI Chic From Ears to Tail is a nice light blue-based pink. It looks very feminine and clean on the nails. I deemed that it's the best base for the glitter topcoat in this collection, because the light background would allow the glitter to stand out.
OPI Minnie Style is a clear base with white, magenta, pink and red hex glitter. I like the mix of white with the darker red and pink glitter, but I think that the glitter is sparse and a few bigger and different-shaped glitter could be added to make it more interesting. However, the color combination is definitely Minnie Mouse and a great topper for these pink and red nail lacquers.
OPI Innie Minnie Mighty Bow is a beautiful shiny red. I loved it stamped with red as it really makes it look festive. On its own, though, it's a classic red that will never be out of style. This would be a nice pedicure color as well to show off piggies in sexy, strappy heels.
OPI Magazine Cover Mouse is the Liquid Sand finish of the bunch. As with all Liquid Sands, it has a textured, matte finish, but has sparkling particles to prevent it from looking flat. It's a nice red shade, bright and the texture gives it an interesting finish.
All in all, I like the Couture de Minnie collection, as I love reds and pinks. However, there is one stand-out in this collection for me, and that is A Definite Moust-Hav, which is really a must-have for me. The others are okay, but if I can recommend only one, this is it.
OPI states that Liquid Sand lacquers should always be worn without top coat. This limited edition promotion will be available beginning June 2013 at professional salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, jcp Salons, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, ULTA and ulta.com for $9.00 ($10.95 CAN) suggested retail for each nail lacquer.
