Couture de Minnie by OPI Swatches & Review...

Last Spring brought us the adorable Vintage Minnie collection by OPI and this year it is followed by a more sophisticated Couture de Minnie collection. This collection features three cream/shimmer shades, a glitter and a textured Liquid Sand shade which I'm excited to show you today...


Chic From Ears to Tail - This pop of bubblegum pink is totally fabulous!
A soft pink cream. It has a teensy bit of shimmer that is only noticeable on very, very close inspection, but I think it adds a nice softness. The formula is easy to work with and provides full coverage at three coats. The swatches are with no top coat...

Number of coats: 3
Top Coat: No

Free of Formaldehyde, Toluene, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP)

A Definite Moust-Have - This fantastic fuchsia is at the top of my shopping list.
A deep raspberry pink cream with a pearly shimmer. It is a bit more pink and not as coral as these photos turned out. I'm quite convinced that my camera despises red and all shades of it. It is a beautiful polish and the name says it all, it is a must have. The formula is very nice, two coats for full opacity. The swatches are with a top coat...

Innie Minnie Mightie Bow - Catch this crimson by the toe!
A tomato red with a strong red shimmer. This red shade has me thinking of classic sophistication.  It has a great two coat formula that is easy to apply. Swatches are with no top coat...

Minnie Style - This white and red glitter is the height of fashion.
A mix of white and fuchsia/red hex glitter in a clear base. Application is decent for such a glitter although I did have to dab a few places where the glitter didn't seem to want to stick. It layers perfectly over any shade in this collection from Innie Minnie Mightie Bow (index finger, pinkie), A Definite Moust-Have (middle finger) and Chic From Ears to Tail (ring finger). Swatches are with a top coat...

Magazine Cover Mouse - The headline-making strawberry has sparkling texture.
A textured raspberry red with a pink sparkle. Photos cannot convey the beautiful sparkle of this red. I was so excited to try it that I ended up wearing it before I got a chance to swatch all the rest of the shades, hence why my nails are shorter in these swatches than the rest of the collection. I used two coats for full opacity. Application was easy, it has a nice formula. Swatches are after an hour of dry time and are shown with no top coat for full textured effect...
