Instead of reaching for self-help books, maybe Dumbo should wear nail polish (and in particular, OPI I’m All Ears) to feel better about himself!

Perhaps he’d hit it off with Minnie Mouse, even though there are lots of tall tales about elephants being scared of mice.

And will you take my temperature? I have never worn so many pink polishes in such a short period of time!

It’s actually making me miss my greens, and I never miss them because they’re usually my staple.

Since I first laid eyes on the OPI Vintage Minnie Mouse Collection, OPI Nothin’ Mousie ‘Bout It got my attention.

Polishes that have large sequins look so pretty, and even though I always admire them when I see them in stores, I’ve oddly never bought any.

OPI Nothin’ Mousie ‘Bout It is my first go at one!

As usual, the promo pictures in the press release I posted don’t do the actual polish much justice.

In person, it’s spectacular! I was really surprised that what I thought was going to be a micro-glitter polish actually was a small-flakie polish! I could stare at the bottle all day long because it’s so pretty! And I love how the large heart sequins float in the lacquer…however, they posed quite a challenge.

OPI Louvre Me Louvre Me Not may not be the most original colour or one that you’d pick out in a line-up, but it holds so much strong significance to me that I’ll always cherish it.

In high school, I had 14-17 bottles of nail polish, which was a major deal to me. It was more than any of my other friends had, and it took a few years to get to that point.

Then, in university, I hardly wore polish. It was a few years after I graduated and was working when I went to buy some shampoo from Trade Secrets. An OPI mini set caught my eye. It was from La Collection de France back in 2008.

That’s the point when I rekindled my love for polish. It was more dangerous this time around because I had a full-time job, and I didn’t have to set aside any money for tuition or school-related expenses. Polish money!

OPI Louvre Me Louvre Me Not was the first lacquer I ever tried outside drugstore polishes. It opened up a whole new world, and that’s when I began collecting purples like a fiend before lusting over greens.

OPI DS Temptation has the perfect name because it surely tempted me in the store…multiple times! I can’t even tell you how many times I picked this up to admire it and then put it back in the display. (I swear I heard the bottle screaming about being abandoned…)

And while it tempted me, it teased my camera like a burlesque dancer. It was very hard to take good photos of it because of all the twinkling glitter. Even the slightest hand movement blurred the image!

(And, yes, I still refuse to use a tripod. Haha, I prefer to complain about the same thing! Mary is stubborn. And she likes to refer to herself in the third person sometimes.)

While OPI DS Temptation is a far cry from the absolutely perfect, smooth holographic nail polishes in the old OPI Designer Series line, I still think that it’s pretty, and I enjoyed wearing it.

But the question is: Was it worth the higher OPI Designer Series polish price tag? Allow me to tell you my nail-snob opinion!
