OPI I'm All Ears & Nothin' Mousie 'bout It

Hello everybody! I hope you all had a great weekend! Today I have I'm All Ears from OPI's Vintage Minnie Mouse collection for you, which is being released in June. This is the standout of the collection for me. I'm All Ears is a STUNNING pink glass fleck polish that seems to have a jelly-like finish as well. I will never get sick of this type of polish... the formula was awesome; I used three coats for maximum shimmer.

Here it is with Nothin' Mousie 'bout It over top. Like I said in my previous post, I did have an issue with getting the hearts out of the bottle, but I was prepared for it and was patient so it wasn't that bad. These colors together are so cute and girly and perfect for a Minnie-themed collection. Which ones are you eyeing up?

OPI The Color of Minnie & Nothin' Mousie 'bout It

Let me preface this post by telling you all (if you didn't know already) that I am a HUGE Disney freak, so I was really excited when I found out that OPI was doing a Minnie Mouse collection! The Vintage Minnie Mouse collection consists of four shades total, three colors and a heart glitter topcoat and will be available for purchase in June. When the press photos first came out, I violently hoped that the glitter was Mickey-head-shaped, but alas, it is just hearts. It fits nicely with the collection, but Mickey-shaped glitter would have really sent it over the top, in a good way of course. I'll keep dreaming! :P

I don't have the light pink of the collection to show you since I didn't think it would agree with my skin tone, so I'll be splitting up the other two shades into two separate posts. Today I'll be showing you The Color of Minnie, which is a gorgeous pearly red. The formula was great and it was opaque in two easy coats.

And here we have The Color of Minnie with two coats of Nothin' Mousie 'bout It. Nothin' Mousie 'bout It consists of heart glitter and small, almost glass-fleck-like shimmer particles. I had a hard time getting the heart glitter out of the bottle and onto my nail, but I found that turning the bottle upside down for a little while before I used it made it easier to fish the hearts out. The shimmer is really spectacular though; it adds so much sparkle and dimension to the base color!

OPI Call Me Gwen-ever

Here is the other shade from OPI's Amazing Spiderman collection that I was able to swatch and review for you all, Call Me Gwen-ever. Fair warning, this photographed WAY too vibrant and red-toned on the nail. Realistically, it looks more like the bottle color in the photos.

The formula on Call Me Gwen-ever was absolutely perfect; I've found that the OPI Pro-wide brush is actually growing on me too...weird. I did two coats for full opacity and I was so surprised at how much I loved it. Maybe it's because it has a teensy bit of coral in it? At any rate, this is an orange I can get behind 100%.

OPI Just Spotted the Lizard

Hello and happy Monday everyone! ;) Today I have one of the colors from OPI's new "The Amazing Spiderman" collection for you called Just Spotted the Lizard. I'm not typically a fan of duochrome polishes, but this one is really stunning! Just Spotted the Lizard is a metallic duochrome shade that shifts between gold and a yellow-y green. It's not quite as shifty on the nail as you can see in the bottle, but I still think it's full of awesome.

I used three coats for these photos and they were effortless! I noticed brush strokes when I was applying each coat, but they went away for the most part as each coat dried. I'm really loving how reflective this polish is. It's not a color I would typically wear, but the finish makes it something I want to grab for when I'm feeling flashy :P

Zoya Elodie & China Glaze White Cap

I love this combination! I had forgotten what a good layering polish China Glaze White Cap is and when I got Zoya Elodie from a swap, I knew I had to try them together. This is 3 coats of Elodie and 1 coat of White Cap on top. It reminds me of a juicy, coral-colored version of China Glaze Strawberry Fields.

Layla Retro Pink

Good morning! Here is the other polish that I received from Harlow & Co. to review, Layla Retro Pink. If you're looking for a good pink holo, go pick up Retro Pink; it has a super strong holographic effect on the nail and is a very flattering shade of pink.

The only thing that sucks about Retro Pink is the application. Like many other holos, it's tricky to apply. I have a cheap aqua base that I used underneath it and it didn't help at all. It dragged and was spotty and I ended up using around 5 coats to get it looking good. It's possible that a better quality aqua base would fix those issues though.

And before I go, here's one last angle of the pretty holo-ness for you all to enjoy :)
