The House of Mouse is generally pretty conservative with its licensing, but with the recent Disney Couture jewelry line and MAC's Venomous Villains collection, it was only a matter of time before the brand got into the nail game. Now, OPI has announced that it's releasing a quartet of nail polishes ($9 each) inspired by Ms. Minnie herself. As you might expect, there's a lot of red (although no black or yellow, surprisingly), plus a cute heart topcoat and a pretty pink to sweeten the deal. We're hoping this isn't the last we hear from Mickey's main squeeze. After all, who could turn down a line of Minnie-inspired bows? See the polishes now.
