opi shrek forever after collection swatches opi brights 2010 You might have seen a housefly, maybe even a superfly, but I bet you ain’t never seen a donkey fly.

Fanatics, can you please join me in a standing ovation for OPI and Suzi Weiss-Fischmann for creating a collection with NO REDS OR PINKS!! It took a big, smelly ogre to make this magical moment happen but I’m not complaining.  The Shrek Forever After Collection is OPIs addition to their ongoing Summer Brights series and I’m totally into it.

Surely, OPI could have found a reason to include a red or pink in this collection but I applaud them for not playing it safe.  A swampy, ogre green isn’t exactly conservative and I love that.  In fact, looking at the colors it’s like they were designed to be mani/pedi combinations.  The lilac & purple, sky & cyan blue and yellow & green.  They’re just meant to be together.


Formula and application -All these polishes applied extremely smooth and creamy, even the yellow (rare, I KNOW!).  As I’ve come to expect from OPI the formula levels well and flows like butter.  The only downside is the pigmentation.  I ended up using three coats for each color as they just weren’t that pigmented but I’d take three smooth layers over two chunky coats any day of the week.

Funky Dunkey is a true grape purple.  It’s rich and not too dark, making it the perfect purple for summer.  Though I’m not entirely sure how purple relates to Donkey.  I would have imagined a purple tinged gray for him though that’s not very summery or bright.

When I first wore Funky Dunkey, I thought it was a dead-on dupe for China Glaze Grape Pop but upon further inspection, Grape Pop is more blue.  What FD is close to is my color, Rescue Beauty Lounge Mismas.  Think of FD as Mismas’ slightly brighter sister.

Rumple’s Wiggin’ is a soft lilac purple and normally it would turn me off completely but there’s just enough pigment to keep it from becoming a washed out pastel.

This comparison shot isn’t my best work so you’ll just have to take my word that Rumple’s Muggin’ is darker than China Glaze Light As Air.  It’s not a huge difference but definitely noticeable.  I was going to show RM next to the lavendar from the Hong Kong collection but that color is way to pink to be a match so I’m showing it next to last year’s Done Out In Deco from the South Beach collection.

Ogre-The-Top Blue is a very deceptive blue.  I really didn’t expect it to dry this dark based on the bottle shade.  It’s a deep cyan blue.  For some reason it reminds me of a swimming pool liner.  Random, I know.  Oh and be careful when removing Ogre or it will give you smurf fingers.

Since I don’t own anything similar to Ogre-The-Top Blue, I’m comparing it to Barry M Cobalt Blue which is more of a true blue and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Brisk Blue which has more turquoise to its base color.

opi-ogre-the-top-blue-comparison-shrek-forever-after-swatch

What’s With The Cattitude? is a pretty true sky blue creme.  Like Rumple’s Wiggin’ it’s got enough depth of color to escape pastel territory.  I think a pedicure with Ogre-The-Top Blue and a mani with this would be gorg for summer.  Also, can’t you picture this as a bride’s “something blue” pedicure?

opi what's with the cattitude? swatch from the opi shrek forever after brights 2010 collection

The closest thing I have to a dupe is China Glaze Bahamian Escape from the Bahama Blues collection.  The main difference is that BE is much brighter.

Who The Shrek Are You? takes lime green to a whole new level.  We’re talking under-ripe lime here.  It’s a total match to Shrek’s body.  Now as much as I love a green, this is not my style.  I’ve never really gotten into the yellow-greens and this one is fugly in a fabulously funky way.  Would I wear this?  Probably not but I appreciate the uniqueness of it.

I almost forgot that I own another yellow-green, Misa Green With Envy.  I don’t even remember ordering from Head2Toe.  It was buried in the back of my light green drawer.  I pulled it out and was all, “Ah-ha! Dupe!”  Well, close but not cigar.  Green With Envy is more yellow but close enough.  I’ll probably ditch the Misa and keep the OPI.  I also showed this next to Sally Hansen Lickety Split Lime.

opi who the shrek are you? comparison swatches from the shrek forever after brights 2010 collection

Fiercely Fiona is lemon yellow with a slightly green cast.  It’s yellow funkified.  Now most yellows are application problem city and while this one wasn’t as dreamy as the rest of the collection it’s certainly better than most.

opi fiercely fiona swatch from the shrek forever after brights 2010 collection

Again, no exact dupe for Fiercely Fiona. It falls somewhere between OPI Banana Bandanna and Fingerpaints Bikini Yellow.

Bottom Line: If you like funky colors, you won’t regret picking up Who The Shrek Are You? and fans of purples won’t be disappointed in Funky Dunkey. In all honesty, while all the colors may be dupeable, I can’t imagine anyone regretting picking up any of these.  I know that’s a bold statement but I was very pleased with this collection.

The OPI Shrek Forever After Collection launches in May 2010 though I suspect it will on sale before that. OPI polishes are carried at salons nationwide including chains like ULTA, Regis, Beauty First, Trade Secret and JC Penney.

So now that you’ve seen the Shrek colors, what do you think? Any must-haves? Are you loving/hating the ugly beautiful nature of Who The Shrek Are You?

  1. Isabelle says:

    I’m a bit depressed. All the ones I loved are ones I realize I have close dupes for.

  2. Katy M says:

    I’m sooo totally happy with this collex. Even if I wouldn’t wear that lime green as a mani, I want it on my toes. The rest of the colors are screaming my name!

    Thank you for these awesome swatches!!! Just in time for payday today! :)

  3. Sara says:

    I love the Funky Dunkey & What’s with the Cattitude? colors! I may have to also try Ogre the Top Blue if ULTA does their buy 2 get one free thing :)

    Also I just have to say I only recently started reading your blog but I freakin love it!#! I especially appreciate your color comparisons because I swear whenever I’m at the store buying new colors I’m always looking at bottles thinking “but isn’t this like that other one I have…..” and this totally helps! You rock :)

    • All Lacquered Up says:

      Thank you so much! I’m glad you found me. Make sure you check out the gallery. It’s great for seeing colors side-by-side.

  4. Susie says:

    loving Cattitude!

  5. Hannah says:

    I totally love the idea of this collection, so much fun! I love Rumples Wiggin and Whats With The Cattitude, not sure about the green though!

  6. Farah A. says:

    what’s with the cattitude is a lovely color =)

  7. Kat says:

    this is probably the first time i’ve wanted an entire collection from OPI! i’ll definitely buy them all once they’re up on e-tailers. i’m a big fan of odd colors, so i love WTSAY?.

  8. Mariah says:

    Loveeee OPI. Loveeeee these colors. OPI should thank YOU for this sale… Cause I’m on my way to pick these up cause of you. :) thanks.

  9. I’m really drawn to Rumple’s Wiggin :)

  10. Nicole says:

    I think it’s a great collection from OPI, nice to see them stay away from the reds :)

  11. Jackie S. says:

    Great post, and I love all the comparison colors, very helpful! I love the fact that OPI has stepped out of the box and done away with reds and pinks in this collection, BRAVO! I will definitely be getting “What

  12. virginia says:

    I’m so happy you swatched these! I knew I wanted Shrek and Cattitude, now I think I might need them all! So funky and fun!

  13. kris says:

    My feelings about this collection is very Swiss. I am very neutral. Very, very neutral.

    I just don’t know. Perhaps I’ll remain with ambiguity until I see how these shades look on my tips.

    Although I love a great creme, I am shocked they are all creme. OPI has been creating tonnes of cremes lately. Or is it just me?

    I think you are the first to have swatches of this collection!

    • All Lacquered Up says:

      Yeah, they seem to be having a big old creme finish party this year. Which is a shame because they do some amazing glitters and shimmers. I’d love to see more polishes like the glitters in the Alice In Wonderland collection.

  14. Ana says:

    is The Shrek Collection’s whats with the cattitude similar to China Glaze for audrey?

    • All Lacquered Up says:

      For Audrey is a pretty true turquoise or Tiffany Blue. What’s With The Cattitude doesn’t have any greenish tendencies.

  15. Ana says:

    also is Ogre-The-Top Blue any similar to o.p.i dating a royal and suzi says feug shui?

    • All Lacquered Up says:

      It doesn’t look anything like either of those. Royal is much darker and more of a true crayola blue. Suzi is darker, dustier and more grayed.

  16. aaminahs mom says:

    grape pop is close enogh that i really don’t need funkey donkey (hey they’re very close in color) plus i got CG already the res are eh

  17. none says:

    i think that green looks really nice on you

  18. I actually quite like the variety in this collection! Those pale shades are very flattering but not boring :)

  19. Ping says:

    I’m feeling very eh about these. The colors are nice, but not very original.

  20. Susie says:

    Really love the purples and blues, the green and yellow are different than most other greens and yellows but these colors never look good on me.

  21. Alisa says:

    I gonna have to add OGRE TO TOP BLUE to my wish list, it’s awesome.

  22. I think my favorite might be Rumple

  23. Okay so I NEED What

  24. Bri says:

    I’m so hot for that Ogre-the-Top.

  25. Kara says:

    For the Funky Dunky, which one would you suggest more, based on formula, Funky Dunky or Grape Pop?

    Ogre-The-Top-Blue looks a lot like Sally Hansons Xtreme Wear Pacific Blue (which I adore and is on my toes right now)

    I actually like all of them, but if I get any, it’ll be the greens, because I have China Glaze Light as Air and Maybelline Pie in the Sky (which might be a dupe for What’s with the Cattitude). But then again, you can never have too many blues…even if you want the dupe, CHina Glaze Bahimian Escape too. Haha.

    • Virginia says:

      Hmm…I think Cattitude and Pie in the Sky couldn’t be more different. Pie is more periwinkle to me.

    • All Lacquered Up says:

      Pie In The Sky is very different and the formula isn’t up to par compared to OPI. But that’s just my opinion. Between Funky Dunkey and Grape Pop? Hmmm… that’s a hard one. I think cool toned girls might like Grape Pop better because it’s got more blue in it. The formulas are very similar in terms of consistency and application so you could always go for the one with the brush you like better (flat & wide or round & thin).

  26. Tavia says:

    Great post Michelle! I like the other nail polish options, they are so similar :)

  27. Jennifer says:

    A little disappointed with this collection. There are many dupes!

  28. paiiige says:

    Fiercely Fiona is just wow.. the perfect shade of chartreuse.. i really, really hope it looks good with my skin tone!

  29. Rachel says:

    I really love these colors, which is why I already own the dupes. I have dupes for ALL of them, dang. I’m excited to try and get them in our spa, because we don’t have any other OPIS or Essies like these. I might get the Fiona one myself. I have Mismas too :)

  30. Julie says:

    I love the collection, especially Ogre-The-Top-Blue is amazing!

  31. Great collection!! Yay no pinks or reds :)

  32. Altea says:

    Wow. Just wow!

    It’s not only this collection to have dupes though

  33. Gina says:

    I love these. I am not the hugest OPI fan but to me Funky Dunkey looks like a must have for sure.

  34. Chris says:

    Hey Michelle!
    I noticed that after RBL Mismas came out similar purple cremes showed up on the nail scene, like CG Grape Pop and now OPI Funky Dunkey. Isn’t that funny? Just when you get what you want other companies decide to finally put out a deep purple creme.

  35. I’ll be picking up Who The Shrek Are You? I’m glad they didn’t include reds and pinks, but I would have liked to see a glitter, ala Absolutely Alice, but in Shrek green/Fiona yellow green.

  36. Rebecca says:

    This collection is amazing! I love it! Can’t wait to get all of them and match them up for mani-pedis as you suggested.. Good idea! Thanks for swatches/comparisons!

  37. WC says:

    i love the Rumple

  38. ja says:

    Looks like Fiercely Fiona and OCC’s Wasabi are dupes, though the latter may be a tad darker.

  39. Crystal says:

    Oh I’m loving Ogre-The-Top Blue and What

  40. Debbie says:

    I think these are gorgeous, loving the pale blue, the lilac and am strangely excited by the weird yellow green! As usual great photos.

  41. Dorothy says:

    Yay, I don’t need any! The only one I like is the Misa dupe, and I already own that.

  42. lacquerholic says:

    I’m in LOVE! I can’t wait to get my hands on these!

  43. Kelly Ann says:

    I’m loving them all,but especially the purples.Hard to believe that it took 3 coats to get it to look like the color from the bottle tho.

    • All Lacquered Up says:

      For me it was 3 coats. I apply thin coats since thick coats lead to chipping. I try to show the polishes how they should be applied and relate my experiences. For others it may be a two-coater. It all depends on the application.

  44. Silja says:

    I love that these are all creme colors. I especially like RW and the cattitude. Makes me feel all summer-y even though we still got snow on the ground here in Finland. :D

    I recently found your blog and I’m hooked! I was wondering if anyone here knows where I could order OPI polishes (and others) in a more reasonable price. Here they cost maybe 8-10 euros a pop which is about 11-13,5 dollars and we only have the boring pinks and reds… :(

    I’m already drooling over Parlez-vous OPI from the french collection and now these!! Help me, dr. Phil…

    • All Lacquered Up says:

      I’ve heard that a lot of international fanatics feel paying the shipping price to order from US e-tailers is worth it because the polish is cheaper. I believe that Head2ToeBeauty.com ships overseas. Email them for a quote based on the number of polishes you intend to order. Some brands aren’t able to shipped outside the US so make sure you look for that warning on each brand’s polish page.

  45. Tara says:

    These are all so amazing…some are weird, but amazing…I just love that there are not pinks or reds. I think I might have to get them all. I agree with Kara you NEVER have too many blues!!!

    Thanks for all the comparisons…your hard work is really appreciated!

  46. Sarah says:

    Would have liked to see WTSAY in their suede formula, so that it would visually be closer to Shrek’s skin texture in the movies. Don’t think any are must-haves, but it’s nice to see OPI break out of their box. Wish they’d do more adventurous shades and textures like they did years ago.

    • All Lacquered Up says:

      Oh that’s a fun idea! I wonder if we’ll see more Suedes. They seemed to be much more popular than the Mattes.

  47. Kayla says:

    Ahhh, you’ve just made me so happy with this announcement…I love the collection!

    Just wondering if you could do a comparison swatch between OPI Banana Bandanna, Fiercely Fiona and China Glaze Lemon Fizz?

    Understandable if you’re too busy, but thanks anyway!! :D

    • All Lacquered Up says:

      Lemon Fizz is much lighter than the other two. Fiona has a greenish tinge to it that sets it apart from butter/lemon yellows like Banana Bandanna and Lemon Fizz. It’s unique in that respect but not as easy to pull of because of its fuggishness.

  48. Gwen says:

    All of these are so pretty! Most of them are so similar to the colors I’m already getting from the China Glaze spring collection though, so I’ll probably give them a pass…

    …Besides that ogre green! It’s so ugly it’s pretty, I must have it :D

  49. Andrea says:

    I completely adore this collection. It has exceeded my expectations by a mile! I really enjoy wearing unique colours, so this collections really pulls me in.

    I think What’s With The Cattitude is prob my fave! Although I am really excited for Who The Shrek Are You?

    I’m really curious as to how Ogre-The-Top Blue compares to the recent Suzi Says Feng Shui? I noticed a couple other people commenting about that?

    So happy you swatched these for us! Thanks!

    • All Lacquered Up says:

      It’s so very different than Suzi Says Feng Shui. SSFS is darker and more dusty/grayed than this. They are nothing alike. Ogre is much brighter with a very summery feel.

  50. Andrea says:

    PS – I really like that idea for a bride’s “something blue” to be What’s With The Cattitude. Cute!

  51. Emily says:

    Some great shades in here, especially the purples and blues

  52. Arrianne says:

    I love this collection. I need all of them.

  53. Kelsey says:

    I am so flippin’ excited that there is an OPI collection with no reds or pinks, and with TWO purples and TWO blues! My favorite colors! Yay!!! I don’t even care if I already have fairly similar polishes in my collection; I love the OPI formula so much that I am going to buy all four. Thank you so much for these swatches! I have been anxiously awaiting them ever since you posted a preview of this collection.

  54. tawnie the tiger says:

    who the shrek are you looks ALOT like this finger paints color i just bought from their new collection called lucky in love lime. at least they look similar while i compare my nails to the screen. the finger paints one might be slightly lighter. and even though this color looks alot like the shrek one, im still drawn to it! i LOVE funky, funky colors. hotness.

    • All Lacquered Up says:

      oh, thanks for sharing. i’ll have to stop by my local sally’s and check it out.

  55. Megan says:

    These are some of the most amazing colors OPI has ever come up with. I hope to get all 6 of them. My 4 year old wants Fiercely Fiona.

  56. Jamie says:

    I think I’m going to skip this one and CG poolside I really didn’t fall for any of these. I am curious about Opi’s flutter though.

  57. M says:

    Hey, do you know where do they sell OPI in UK? And when will this collection debut there?

    Thanks!

    • Gina says:

      They are sold at Sally’s Beauty Supply (which are everywhere – just google it and your area)and at trade secret which are in most towns/cities.
      Hope you find some!!

  58. M says:

    Oh, i meant a physical shop cause im going there for a trip. (:

    Thanks!

  59. kia says:

    simply awesome! thank you so much… while i love the concept, i’ll skip it. but i could go for another round of a shrek collection at baskin robbins!! i loved the shrek icecream! a sour apple or grape sherbert with pop rocks. i od’s the summer it came out! ahhhhh i need to write to baskin robbins!

  60. Annigje says:

    I love your comparisons!

  61. Andrea says:

    I’ll get them all. Just because it’s Shrek Collection, how crazy is that?

  62. Kate & Zena says:

    I’ve been a long time reader, I’ve just never commented…until now.

    I really love that you noticed the difference between the Misa and the OPI greens and didn’t call them dupes. I’ve seen at least one other nail polish guru call the two dupes when they aren’t. I come from an arts background, so I always appreciate when someone who doesn’t have an arts background can spot differences between two seemingly similar hues.

    I do love Funky Donkey! I might have to pick that one up! It’s about time my purple stash grew larger than my blue stash (funny as my fav. color is purple).

    Hm, I could swear there is a Sally Hansen Extreme Wear (or Hard as nails, can’t remember) lime green that looks deceptively like the Who the Shrek Are You?

    What is the name of that darn polish? I’ll get back to you on the color name when I drag el Dad to the grocery store. That is really going to bug me now!

    • All Lacquered Up says:

      Thank you for your thoughtful comment. This is precisely why I rarely make the dupe distinction. The majority of the time there are tiny variances that while they might not be major to some people, others really care about how close one polish hue is to another. I’ve heard many people call China Glaze Grape Pop a dupe for Rescue Beauty Lounge Mismas and while I’m all for saving people money, it just isn’t. Though we all see color differently and some people might not see the differences that seem as apparent to you and I.

      Oh and that Sally Hansen you mentioned… was it Grass Slipper from the new Complete Salon Manicure line? If so, that one doesn’t have as much yellow in it as Who The Shrek Are You?

      • Kate & Zena says:

        The one I was thinking of was Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Green with Envy (apparently the name “green with envy” is quite a popular lime green name). Now that I’m looking at an online swatch though, it’s looks like it might fit between Who the Shrek are You? and Lickety-Split Lime.

      • Lynette says:

        I actually noticed alot of colours in that Complete Salon Manicure line that looked strickingly similar to the Shrek Collection colors.
        (ie Fiercely Fiona, Who the Shrek Are You?, Cattitude, Ogre the Top, and I think Rumple’s Wiggin.)

  63. Donna says:

    I am loving all the purples for this spring/summer. I know you’re not the biggest fan of pastels and sheers but how would Rumple

    • All Lacquered Up says:

      I KNEW there was a color I was forgetting where I did my comparsions. Drat!! I don’t see that much of a difference between Rumple’s Wiggin’ and Lilacism. Rumple’s is a tad, and seriously a tad, more pinkish and maybe a shade darker.

      • Kate & Zena says:

        I’m wearing Lilacism right now and from what I can tell from the online photo, Lilacism looks more pastel than RW and a smidgen darker, like purple cotton candy (if that makes any sense). It looks like it would fit between OPI’s Done Out in Deco and RW, in my opinion.

  64. Mei says:

    oooh, if this is the same as essie’s lilacism then i will have to pick up this one, the lilacism application is just way tooo fussy! Thanks for sharing this with us! :)

  65. Veronica says:

    What would be a closer match to Barry M’s Cobalt Blue that would be available in the States?

  66. Pan says:

    I just received all the colors (minus Rumple’s Wiggin) today!
    I’m so excited to put them to use, the shades are so funky, I’m in love! Thank you for posting the swatches. (:

  67. Bobbie C. says:

    O, I have to get funky donkey and that blue for my toes…

  68. B.Stone says:

    Thanks for swatching these! I’m a boring greys/wines/purples girl, but for some reason I was really wanting a yellow green this spring. I got SH Grass Slipper and it wasn’t what I wanted. So I had been thinking that Misa Green with Envy would be better, but now I see that Fiercely Fiona is what I’m looking for- I had wanted something more yellow-green, like fresh oak leaf buds!

  69. Anna says:

    I just ordered all six from transdesign today. I’m so thrilled and can’t wait to try them on!

  70. Natalie says:

    I am thrilled with this collection! I bought the OPI Shrek sampler pack to try them out and so far I have only worn the Rumple

  71. Shimmergrass says:

    wow… i am loving all the colors..

  72. First the Hong Kong Collection and now this! I am loving all this color! Finally! I want to see a Metallic collection next! I only bought Who The Shrek Are You today because I could “live” without the rest, but I am sure I will buckle soon enough and buy more. And ughhh transdesign raised prices again! :(

  73. Karen says:

    Does anyone know the release date on these? I love the fact that there aren’t any reds or pinks in this collection!

  74. Anna says:

    Just ordered the collection from nailetc. Wanted to order from transdesign, but apparently they’ve just implemented some new shipping rule. Something about polish being “hazardous” which makes shipping to Sweden cost $87 for 9 polishes. Does anyone of you know if this is a general rule when shipping polishes by flight? Cause if it is, I guess all e-tailers will implement new rates eventually.

  75. Mimi says:

    i have a question is the orge the top blue very similar to suzi says feng shui of the OPI Hong Kong collection?

    • Jamie says:

      OTTB is brighter Feng Shui has a gray undertone
      it’s like Ottb is the Caribbean ocean and Feng shui the Atlantic

  76. Melissa says:

    i LOVE this collection and just ordered it ..precisely for the Who the Shrek are you? OMG i LOVE that color !!! cannot wait to try it out <33 thank you for this post, your swatch is what convinced me that i just had to have it haha =D

  77. Jolene says:

    how does ‘ogre-the-top blue’ compare to china glaze’s ‘sky high-top’? :)

  78. Sandy says:

    hi.. ogre the top blue and suzi says feng shui the same?? which one shud i buy :( any suggestion?? thks

  79. Deb Chapman says:

    My husband and son said the greens look like fungus. They insisted I talk them back! Thankfully Ulta was gracious. Opi red and Bubble bath, here I come!

  80. Nicol says:

    I just got a bunch of them. Fiercely Fiona is a winner–although I can’t really get it to apply smoothly… any suggestions?

    Ogre the top blue is amazing! So beautiful (I have olive/tanned skinned tone). I’ve yet to try Cattitude and Funkey Dunkey, but they look really pretty in the bottles.

    I like the formula (it feels different than other OPIs) bc it seems to dry faster, and spread out on the nail as it dries. I just need to get better at applying the nailpolish.

  81. Victoria says:

    i think ill only get the blue. it looks similar to the Sephora’s Havana Dreams and im in love with that color! but this is the cheaper alternative b/c the place i buy OPI is like 6-8 dollars

  82. Molly says:

    Thanks for the matches next to Rumples Wiggin. I LOVE Done out in Deco so I think I’ll pick up Rumples in hope that it’s a brighter (on my skin tone :) summery option. LOVE the blog!! Molly (mph3555 on twitter)

  83. natalie says:

    I really like this collection. I’m not so much into the ogre green and the fiona-yellow-green, but the other four, the two blues, the purple and lilac, are absolutely my thing, they are sooo beautiful! Purples and blues are the best thing ;))

      i definitly agree with you, the green and yellow are not my thing. im surprised with myself for not loving that green, its my favourite colour…

    Just discovered you website/brand and I. am. in LOVE!!!!! My girls and I are OB-SESSED with nail polish so this is the bombdotcom! My fav from the Shrek collection by far is “What’s with the cattitude” and recomend all women of color to try this flattering hue. I get so many compliments across Atlanta about my pedi! Keep it up, and I can’t wait to buy “Summer Flutter” colors too.

      ask away!! honestly, polish application takes practice. it gets easier over time. i leave a gap near my cuticles so i don’t need to do much cleanup when swatching polish but when i do a full manicure i use an angled eyeliner brush dipped in remover to clean up the line around my cuticle.

    Kind of a late reply, but I think that I found a dupe for Funky Dunkey today: Ciat

    Im wearing Cattitude right now and it actually looks a lot darker than the picture shows. Also, it was way more sheer than I expected. I did 3 coats and can still see VNL. Did anyone else find this? Does that go for the other colors too?

  91. Laura-Jane says:

    Is it me, or does Ogre-The-Top Blue look like a dupe of Barry M’s Cyan Blue?

    I absolutely love the china glaze, I must have it.
