OPI ~ Cute little Vixen



OPI ~ Cute little Vixen
Deep red violet shimmer

Cute little Vixen is from the Mariah Carey Winter Holiday collection from 2013. I think I bought it last spring.

I was going to an event at work and rummaged through my box of untrieds to find a nice polish to wear. I intended to find a good teal holographic, and I did looked at both Too Fancy Lacquer’s Starry Eyes and Pipe Dream Polish Memory Loss before I set my mind on Cute Little Vixen.

The formula is really good and so is the coverage. I used two coats to make it opaque and the drying time between the coats is good too. I have a love/hate relationship with OPI – some of them just don’t like me – but this one is one of the ones I really love.

Here’s two coats and no topcoat in the sunshine:


I mean, look at that shimmer!!


I added holo because I was really in a holo mood. One coat of Ellagee’s “Rainbow Syrup” did the trick. It’s such a cool holo topper, the best I’ve tried so far. It doesn’t grey the base colour much and it dries super fast! Here’s one coat over the Cute Little Vixen:


Mmm yes, that’s what I like!


I wanted to make it more festive for the event so I stamped on it. I found a swirly motif on Moyou London stamping plate “Princess Collection-13” and I used a pink Moyou (not London) stamping polish to stamp with.

And here’s my final mani:


I really like the way the holo shows underneath the stamp!


I love this!


Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Fast
Finish: Shimmer
Overall impression: I love colours like this and the finish is great!
Buy again: Yes

  2. I like the Cute... - I saw it in other blogs and liked it instantly. The stamping pattern is nice too. Ellagee - I've noticed you like using it and no wonder, it's a very good holo topper.

    1. That Ellagee is my favourite holo topper - it'll only take one hell of a holo topper to knock that off the first place! :)
