Pretty in Pink: Vintage Minnie Mouse by OPI Nail Polish Review

Love pink? Love Disney? Then you’re in luck.

For the girliest girls out there, OPI teamed up with Disney to draw inspiration from Minnie Mouse for a new collection of laquers, Vintage Minnie Mouse by OPI. As you might expect, they’re all pink (or a pink-tinted red) with shimmer and glitter aplenty. Now, you might be wondering when four shades of Valentine’s-Day-approved polishes would come in handy (other than on Valentine’s Day), so here’s a guide to making the most of Minnie:

I’m All Ears

Perfect For: This sparkly, magenta shade is the perfect feminine touch of fun. Date
night? Check. Girls’ night? Double check. Is there ever a bad time for sparkles?

Wear With: Pinks and reds are pretty traditional polish shades, but the glitter in this one mixes things up a little. Use it either to add some pep to a simple outfit, or wear it as a complement to an already wild look — pair it with polka dots if you’re really feeling Minnie-spired.

If You Moust You Moust

Perfect For: This pastel shade is right on trend for this season’s feminine push. It’s subtle enough for a daytime color, yet stylish enough for a night out.

Wear With: To make the most out of this retro-laquer, try it with a high-waisted skirt, a peter-pan collared top, or a lace dress.

Nothin’ Mousie ‘Bout It

Perfect For: Valentine’s Day’s a given for this heart-shaped glitter polish, but birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, or even music festivals are options. For this shade, one thing’s crucial: have fun!

Wear With: Keep it light and feminine with this laquer — whether it be a flowy, white sundress or a pale yellow frock, play up the Minnie-factor with a girly look.

The Color of Minnie

Perfect For: This pink-tinted, shimmery red is a classic. It’s elegant and sleek: ideal for both formal occassions and everyday style. When it comes to the classics, you really can’t go wrong.

Wear With: Anything from your favorite LBD, jeans and a tee, to an easy sundress. This shade will provide a bold, polished look without seeming overdone. Remember, when it comes to nails, red’s a neutral, so there’s no limit to potential outfits!
