Rica - Oh, Minnie!

Hi everyone,

Sorry that I've been MIA. My cat Cookie brought home 2 baby mice that luckily weren't hurt at all. They still had their eyes closed, so I had to nurse them or they wouldn't make it. So for the past few days I've been waking up every 2 hours round the clock to feed them. Their eyes finally opened and the babies have been weaned, so they can eat now on their own. If you want to see pictures of my baby mice, check my personal instagram account. 

Coincidentally, I had Minnie Mouse on my nails!  

The polish used on my index and pinky is Rica Oh, Minnie! For the gradient background, I used OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and Essie Play Date. The Minnie was painted free hand using acrylic paints.

Oh, Minnie! has a pink-lilac base color with white, pink and silver holographic hexes in different sizes. And tons of mouse holo glitters. This one required less fishing than Real Girls Wear Mickey Ears. The swatch above shows 3 thin coats of Oh, Minnie! on its own. 

Here's a macro bottle shot of Oh, Minnie!

I hope you like it!

Thanks for reading!

Rica - Real Girls Wear Mickey Ears

Hi my lovelies,

look what I have for you today! This super cute glitter polish is Real Girls Wear Mickey Ears by Rica. 

I couldn't resist, it's too adorable! Real Girls Wear Mickey Ears is a mix of red squares, white rectangles, yellow and black dots, small holographic silver hexes and best of all, Mickey Mouse shaped glitters!!!!!! How cool is that?! Application required some fishing, but I managed to easily get some Mickey Mouse glitter on my nails. I applied 2 coats of RGWME over Essence Got a Secret.

So to go with the theme, I hand painted Mickey Mouse on my ring finger using acrylic paints. The base color is OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.

Here's a macro bottle shot to show you the awesomeness!

So how do you like it?! :)

OPI - Couture de Minnie

Hello everyone,

I'd like to show you the mani I had on for my birthday last week. Some of you have already seen it on Instagram, but here it is for those who haven't. 

I've had the OPI - Couture de Minnie polishes for quite some time, but had never used them. So I thought my birthday was a perfect occasion to get the polishes out of my Helmer and have them on my nails!

The collection consists of 5 shades, but for this mani I used 4 of them. For my thumb, index and pinkie I applied 2 coats of Magazine Cover Mouse, which is a gorgeous Liquid Sand polish. For the middle and ring fingers I did a gradient using a makeup sponge, using the same technique I used for this tutorial. I used A Definite Moust-Have and Chic from Ears to Tail, both from the Couture de Minnie collection, and OPI Alpine Snow.  Then I topped the middle finger with one thin coat of Minnie Style and painted the Minnie on my ring finger with acrylic paint and a fine detail brush.

As you'll notice, my bottle of Minnie Style has white square glitter in it! It looks like OPI added (by mistake or not?) the leftover white square glitter from Lights of Emerald City in this batch. I don't mind it at all! Minnie Style looks way cooler this way! Don't you think?

And here's a closeup of Magazine Cover Mouse:

I hope you like it and I wish you all a wonderful week!
