Hi there!
I am very excited to be reviewing the new OPI Vintage Minnie Mouse Collection today! I remember as a little girl I stood in line at Disney World for what seemed like forever to see Minnie and Mickie and get their autographs. Fun times, well lets take a look at the Minnie Mouse lacquers, shall we? :)
The Color of Minnie is a bright red with pearly shimmer and it is my runner-up in the collection. This baby is super pigmented, and the formula was so smooth! I could have gotten away with just one coat, but I did two for the swatch below. But beware, because this is so pigmented, that means it stains, so be extra careful when applying this and removing this or you'll end up with red skin around your nails!
If You Moust You Moust this is a blue toned dark bubblegum pink. I really like that this isn't a chalky bright pink that we have seen a lot of lately, there is more depth to this, and I think it is really pretty! However when I was swatching this it looked oddly familiar. That's because it is almost an exact dupe for Zoya Shelby. See my comparison on a nail wheel below.

I'm All Ears is my favorite in the collection hands down. I absolutely love this one! It is incredibly bright and sparkly, and it fits perfectly with the Minnie Mouse theme. I think it will look especially great on tanned skin this summer! The formula was also really nice, what you see below is two coats.
Nothin' Mousie bout It is the glitter in the collection. I really like the idea of this polish, I think it is cute and fun, but the formula is a different story. It was such a challenge to get the little hearts on my nails without slopping the glitter base all over everywhere. It was thick and goopy and just.. not fun to apply. But I guess they can't all be total winners, right? For the swatches below I did a 'skittle' mani with all the colors in the collection and black to give you an idea of how it looks over each one.
L-R I'm All Ears, The Color of Minnie, If You Moust You Moust, and Black
My top picks are The Color of Minnie and I'm All Ears. Unfortunately Nothin' Mousie bout It just didn't do it for me. It just made me work too hard. If You Moust You Moust is not the most unique polish in the world, and since it is so close to Shelby I will only be keeping one of them. Which one you ask? The OPI because I love the Pro-Wide brush.
What do you guys think about the Vintage Minnie Mouse colletion? Planning on picking any of these up? If so, I'd love to hear which ones make your cut!
This Limited Edition will be available in June 2012 and will retail for $8.50 each.
