OPI Shrek collection!

I forgot I'd taken pictures of this. This was my first OPI collection...I passed on the Shrek color because I knew I'd never wear it. That one wouldn't look great on my skin. I have mixed feelings on the collection. I'll discuss with each polish. But in general- good colors but I'm not a big fan of the brush. Really big and kind of hard to control or maybe a learned thing. I'll get used to it!

What's With the Cattitude. This one did not want to photograph well. It's lighter in person. Pretty, but hard to prevent streaking. This was three coats.

Rumple's Wiggin'. This was the one I was most looking forward to. At the time I thought eh. Three coats and again hard to keep from streaking. I don't know if it was the humidity or what but it smudged really easily and didn't want to dry. Thankfully, I tried this one again later for Konading and it was a million times better! I'm hoping it'll be the same story for What's With the Cattitude. I'll try that out soon!!



Fiercely Fiona. This one didn't photograph too well either. It was late when I swatched this collection and I didn't want to wait to do it. It's a little bit more yellow-green than shown. Still pretty. An odd green but I kind of like it! Two coats with this one.

Ogre the Top. I was iffy on the collection until I got to this one. Amazing! Love love love!! It's pretty true to color. Two coats again. Perfect summer blue. I can't wait until it's slightly warmer. I've got a blue bikini that'll match this and look perfect out on the beach!!

Funky Dunkey. Again, amazing!! Perfect purple creme. Two coats. The photo is pretty accurate to color. And it's awesome! I love it!! I've also used it a couple times to Konad with- you'll see in the next post and it works quite well :) Great color!

So all in all, it's a great collection! I really like all the colors. Not a huge fan of the brush but I've already used it a couple times and I'm getting used to it. And I really think it was just the humidity of the day that gave me problems with the pastels. Or maybe because I'd just gotten back from a run and was all sweaty still. Looking forward to getting some more OPIs soon :)
