OPI Couture de Minne collection: Magazine Cover Mouse

purchased by me

It should be no surprise to anyone that Magazine Cover Mouse is my favorite of the Couture de Minne collection!  I've been loving many of the textured polishes which have appeared this summer, and this strawberry-red beauty is no exception.  It was opaque in two easy coats, easy to remove, and a complete delight.

OPI Couture de Minne collection: Innie Minnie Mightie Bow

purchased by me

Despite its nonsensical name, Innie Minnie Mightie Bow is a pretty blue-based red with subtle shimmer.  Like Chic from Ears to Tail, there's nothing earth-shattering about the color, but the formula is very good and it was opaque in two coats.  The shimmer was visible close-up on my nails, but only showed in a blurry photo rather than any of the crisper ones.

OPI Couture de Minne collection: Chic from Ears to Tail

purchased by me

Chic from Ears to Tail is a standard bubble-gum pink crème.  It's cute, theme-appropriate and a nice color, but there's nothing ground-breaking about it.  The formula was easy to work with, although it did take three coats to be opaque, which is not something that thrills me with a color this standard.

OPI Couture de Minne collection: A Definite Moust-Have

purchased by me

OPI has a cute mini-collection for summer, or a cute Minnie-collection if you prefer. ;)  Couture de Minnie consists of a crème, a shimmer, a neon, a glitter and a textured polish, all in reds and pinks.  I didn't get the glitter, but I have the other four for you this week.

First up is A Definite Moust-Have, a neon pink with an easy formula.  It stayed where I put it, flowed easily without any pooling, and dries satin matte, like most neons.  All swatches are three coats without top coat.
