Hello lovelies,

It seems like OPI has Couture de Minnie month and I'm joining too with my review. I've got these polishes slightly later than other so I wasn't able to join OPI's blogger reach out and submit my Minnie Mouse nail art...but that doesn't mean I don't have one for you ;)

Right now, let's check out my swatches of the OPI Couture de Minnie Collection!

Lucy's Stash - OPI Couture de Minnie Collection

A Definite Moust-Have - Bright coral red with subtle silver shimmer. The colour is bright but not bright enough to be called a neon. I really like this fun, summery shade and even better it has excellent pigmentation. One coat was almost enough for perfect coverage but in the end I applied two coats. It applied very easily and polish dried fast and glossy.

Chic From Ears To Tail - candy pink half jelly creme with subtle silver shimmer. This polish had slightly sheerer formula and needed careful application. I've had to apply two thicker coats to avoid patching and to get good coverage. It dried fast and glossy.

Innie Minnie Mightie Bow - rich red with subtle gold shimmer particles. I love reds and this one is really pretty! It also has a great pigmentation and one coat was almost enough for full coverage. I'm wearing two coats and no topcoat. It applied nicely but the formula was little runny so don't use too thick coats. Drying time was good.

Magazine Cover Mouse - strawberry red liquid sand with gold and magenta particles. This is a pretty addition into the Liquid Sand range with great formula. It applied very easily and one coat was almost enough but I did apply second coat in the end. The removal is more difficult so I always make sure to soak the nails for a minute or two.

Minnie Style - red, white and magenta hex glitter in a clear base. What a fun glitter topper! I like the colour combination as it totally matches the Minnie Mouse theme. I've applied one thicker coat over A Definite Moust-Have but I have picked out some extra glitter to get denser coverage.

So that's it, that's the whole Couture de Minnie collection. I like all the polishes, they are fun and girly. They all have good formula and are up to the high OPI standard.

I thought I won't like this collection at all but after swatching all of the shades I've changed my mind. I really like that each colour has a sweet scent when it dries and they are all super glossy. The formula was easy to apply and thin layers dry relatively quickly but when there are 4 layers built up, it takes much longer and I would recommend using fast drying topcoat.


This collection has the very popular rounded and tapered flat brush that makes it very easy to achieve clean lines and I didn't have to do almost any clean up! So overall, I was pleasantly surprised :)
