Three OPIs- a Green, a Blue, and a Pink

I think OPI is somewhat overrated.  They do have a huge variety of colors, but for the price, I often find that the colors are very sheer and sometimes streaky.  But then you get the special colors, like Mad As A Hatter, which totally redeem the brand in my eyes. Unfortunately I don't own MAAH.  I was dumb and passed it up thinking I would have the chance to buy it later. So wrong!  Has this happened to anyone else before?

I'm usually a pretty verbose person, but I'm runnin' on empty right now so I'll get straight to it.  Like the oh-so-cleverly-named title mentions I have a green, a blue, and a pink to show you.

They are:

• Who the Shrek Are you?- an olive-tinged chartreuse creme
• Sea? I Told You! - bright blue shimmer with silver particles
• Shanghai Shimmer- a dusty mauve rose with green shimmer

These are all swatched without a base or top coat.

Who The Shrek Are You? in full sun

This was pretty sheer.  It took 4 coats to reach opacity but the color is worth it.  The finish ends up pretty even and non-streaky for a color with a lot of yellow pigment.

 It is really shiny without a top coat which I love even though I always use a top coat when I'm not swatching.

Sea? I Told You! in full sun

This one is also pretty sheer.  This took 4 coats.

Sea? I Told You! in the shade

Shanghai Shimmer in full sun

I really like this color.  Without the shimmer it would look like a grandma color, but the shimmer makes it look funky and unique.  This was 3 coats.

Here is a bottle picture in the sun to clearly show the pretty green shimmer.

Available:

• Ulta stores
• Check OPI's website on where to buy to find local salons that sell the polishes
• Etailers like TransDesign

After all the pretty I just wanted to share something gross with you.  I saw this while looking at the ad for my local grocery store.

Doesn't that look absolutely foul?!  First of all, the name. EconoMax.  I will NEVER eat anything named EconoMax.  EconoMax is not the name of anything remotely edible.  It sounds like a brand of budget motor oil or something.  Plus, it's a pound of bologna for $1.  I have a hard time believing this is a meat product.  I'm going to the grocery later and bet yer britches I'm looking for this.  I'm curious what the ingredients are.


Thank you for reading and have a great day/night/whatever!
