In honor of the release of Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides, the Walt Disney World Pirates League announced a special, limited edition makeover. From mid-May until July 2, women of all ages could become honorary mermaids. The makeover, very reasonably priced at $29.95 includes a hair style, vibrant eye makeup, and nail polish. It also includes a sampler of O.P.I. nail polish as a gift.
The makeover begins with a simple pulling back of the hair, with both sides being rolled away from the face. The nails are then given a base coat of O.P.I. Mermaid’s tears.
Then the eye makeup begins. Dramatic bands of “ocean” color – blues, greens, and shimmering pearl – are placed around the eye and over the eyebrow.
Dramatic eyeliner and a “scale” patch on the upper cheeks are added, and the eyeliner has quite the dramatic effect!
A “silver shatter coat” of nail polish is applied, and then the rhinestone face gem is attached.
Overall, the transformation is quite lovely, and it seems incredibly popular with women of all ages. In my two visits to the Pirate’s League, I saw quite a few “big girls” enjoying the makeover just as much as their smaller counterparts. Appointments are almost completely booked between now and the official end date of July 2. Cast members at the Pirates League agree that it is quite possible the Mermaid transformation may become a permanent offering at the Pirate’s League, but the permanent version would not include the O.P.I. promotional gift that is a part of this limited makeover offering.
Only time will tell if the mermaid makeover will remain at the Pirate’s League, but for now, there are more than a few mermaids wandering the Magic Kingdom. Although most appointments are taken, Cast Members suggest that if you’re longing to become an honorary mermaid, you call the day before you arrive, or check in at the podium when you reach the park. They often have last-minute cancellations or no-show appointments, and other guests can sometimes be accommodated at those times.
