OPI Shrek swatches, Part I of II

Some of the loot from what is my second-to-last OPI haul from TransDesign now that OPI has decided to get all protective of their "salon quality" polishes.

OPI Rumple's Wiggin'
Soft lilac that leans a bit grey. Oddly, it looks very light on me but it seems to be darker on others (possibly because of the difference in skin tone?). Pretty good application for a pastel but still took three coats to even out completely.

OPI What's With the Cattitude?
Bad application: I found it to be far thinner and more streaky than necessary. (Also, it kept on dripping into my cuticles, grr.) When I think of the practically one-coater that is Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau (also a pastel blue though less glossy), I lose patience for a similarly colored polish that needed a thick third coat to cover the imperfections of the first two coats.

OPI Who The Shrek Are You?

I absolutely adore this color (and the polish wasn't bad either). I'm so into lime greens lately. Application was pretty good (three coats) and very controllable. Totally worth it for a color that I don't have many examples of.

Will get the rest of the Shrek collection swatched before the week's out and then I'll have some concluding thoughts about the collection as a whole... :)
