OPI Who The Shrek Are You?

Posted by Unknown on Friday, April 29, 2011

I have had my eye on this one for such a long time! Very happy that I have finally got a bottle to call my own. 


I had looked up so many pictures of WTSAY and loved them all. They were all different shades and greens so it was a little bit of a mystery as to what I would actually end up with.


I have 3 coats on here as it was a little bit streaky. I may try it next time with a thicker base or maybe even a ridge filler.


I absolutely adore the colour though. I am on a lime/chartreuse/lavender kick at the moment and have a shirt this almost exact colour. 


I think this last picture is the most colour accurate. I was afraid that Shrek was going to be your typical apple-green-lime-green but it does actually have quite a bit of yellow in it. A dirty yellow though, almost mustard-y I think. I just love it. 


I was also interested in OPI's Fiercly Fiona as I am wanting that true chartreuse colour. But I saw a comparison of Fiona with China Glaze's Electric Pineapple. EP looked like much more my cup of tea so I think I will wait for that :)

I found this while with my boyfriend, so it has an emotional attachment with me.

This is three coats of Talk Dirty. Postie Plus had the Dark Pleasure collection on clearance for $5 each! I was crazy not to get this as the stores are trying to clearance them for $18, pfft.

Talk Dirty is a black base with olive/khaki shimmer. A very different and interesting colour.

OPI Greenwich Green NL N02

This one is from the New England collection from 1998! Holy cow thats an old one!

I used just two coats here as it was quite thick like a few older OPI's. I might throw a little thinner in there later.

I did the right thing by Greenwich, I gave it to mum. She loves these olivey/goldy colours. Did you know... that her polish stash is currently bigger than mine XD

Beetles.

Thats all it makes me think of lol. This is the next polish up for RAOK!

Two coats here, no top coat. 

Application was nice n smooth which is rare for a dark colour. Well for me anyway... I always tend to have trouble applying dark colours.

Talk Dirty is sort of an olive/brown/forest green/gold shimmer in a dark brown almost black base.

I am off to cook some Spaghetti Bolognese! Woohoo! One of my favourite dinners :)
