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.
