OPI's Latest: Shrek Forever After


The last thing I expected to see from OPI was a Shrek nail polish collection.  But they did it!  And the colors are unique and utterly fabulous.

All of the shades are amazingly easy to apply and have a cream-like texture. The polish is pretty thick; you could actually use only one coat if you wanted to (that's how thick it is), but two coats make the colors look absolutely phenomenal.

Though the colors are a bit different, they're all surprisingly flattering and perfect for summer.  Here's a rundown of the shades in order from left to right.











Funky Dunky:  This is a bright purple grape-esque shade--it actually has a neon/electric look to it. The picture doesn't really do it justice. I highly doubt anyone owns a shade of purple that even comes close to this.


What's With the Cattitude?: This is a gorgey sky blue shade.  Exactly. There's no other way to put it.  It's just simply pretty.  And totally unexpected.


Rumple's Wiggin': This shade is very similar to the sky blue above in that it's a pastel shade that's adorable.  It's a great color for anyone who usually is scared to try out colorful polish since it's so light.  The shade is actually a tiny bit lighter than in the picture.

Who the Shrek Are You?: Okay.  I have to be honest here.  This shade literally looks like Shrek.  I get that this is the "Shrek" collection, so of course this shade was expected to be in it.  But I have  to say, it's my least favorite in the collection. It's a yellow-based green that just didn't look good on me.  But, it is certainly unique. If you're more daring than me, give it a go!

Ogre-The-Top Blue: Probably my favorite hue. It's electric, unexpected and gorgeous all at the same time.  I know that for some of you ladies, this is more of a toenail polish for you--but I plan on bustin' it out on my fingernails for the world to see!

Fiercely Fiona: I normally don't like yellow polishes, but this one is a bit different.  It's more of a "buttery" shade that's surprisingly flattering.  It reminds me of buttered popcorn. Yum!

The whole collection is great.  You can buy each bottle for about $8 at most salons.  But lucky you--I found a deal on Amazon! Each bottle is marked down to $4.99!  And they have a cute little mini polish set for $9.99.

Disclosure: This post contains a sample product sent for consideration by a PR firm. My priority is to you, and I honor that commitment by being honest! If you have any questions about this, please email me.
