OPI Vintage Minnie Mouse Minis Nail Art

The OPI Vintage Minnie Mouse collection is cute and fun. The package is decorated with a Minnie & Mickey comic strip. The mini set of 4 contains:

The Color of Minnie - A true bright red that is a bit frosty


If You Moust You Moust - Rich pink and creamy


I'm all Ears - Slightly sheer Red/Fuschia with lots of ultra fine sparkles


RapidDry Top Coat - OPI's non-yellowing fast drying top coat




We did a nail look inspired by the packaging for this collection. It uses all the polishes in the Minnie Mouse Minis pack as well as: black white and yellow polish, two dotting tools and a few nail art brushes.

To see what we did and to recreate the look watch the video here!

Let us know what you think and if you love the collection!!!

Makeup Face-off Showdown: SUPERBOWL XLVI

Decorate You's new video shows a timed makeup competition with a Super Bowl theme.

We had 3 minutes to complete a makeup look based on this year's teams. Samantha did a playful NY Giants look. I went with daring makeup based on the Patriots and their official logo. The challenge to complete the look in 3 minutes was a bit tough. You can see we really started rushing towards the end so we would finish on time.

After the video we took the time to clean up and add to our football themed faces. Here's a few photos we took with the finalized makeup.

Go to the video and vote for your favorite makeup look as well as who you'll be routing for in this year's superbowl! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JftjTXQHKnQ

Ingredients (use Organic products for better results)
1/2 Banana (bananas going brown adds more moisture)

You will also need a mixing bowl and a mixing spoon.

Facts:

Bananas: contain acids that remove dead skin cells.

Honey: Holds moisture in your skin

Yogurt: Acts as a natural moisturizer

Steps:
Throw all of your ingredients into a mixing bowl. 
Begin to mash your ingredients together until the consistency feels like lotion.
Wash your face.
Smooth the mask all of your face, avoiding your eyes.

Your skin should feel and look smooth. By making this Organic mask, you are saving not only money, but your skin from harsh ingredients and toxins found in major products.
