Hey everyone! Thanks for being patient with me this week. I haven't been too motivated, but I did get some swatches done for you guys. I'm needy and don't want you to abandon me :P
This is two beautiful lovely coats of OPI Funky Dunky from the new Shrek collection. I keep calling it "Funky Donkey", so forgive me if I type that! This polish is my first purple creme! I love it. It's a rich purple with a hint of grey in it. It's super duper shiny and looks great sans topcoat. I could practically see my reflection in my nails!
I think I may pick up one or two more of the collection, but I don't know about the Shrek colored greens! Maybe, I should just be adventurous!

I must say that I love China Glaze so very very much right now. All of their colors always seem to suit my mood and make me happy while I wear them. Today, I've got two from the Up and Away Collection. These are such great spring colors!
I love Lemon Fizz, although it did give me a small case of lobster hands in this photo. It's such a bright pale lemon color that isn't too pale or too bright. This color may be a soft yellow, but it does command some attention and you won't go unnoticed while wearing it. I'm proud to say this is the only yellow I have that doesn't look horrible on me, hooray!!
Flyin' High looks a little more sky blue than it actually is in this photo. It's got an aqua feel to it that I just can't get over. I've worn this polish for a week straight because it makes me happy. I've gotten quite a few compliments on this one too. I think people cannot help liking colors like this.
I have Four Leaf Clover as well, but I CANNOT for the life of me get an accurate photo. Every time I take a picture I get a blue and not the lovely green that it is. I'll keep trying and see what I come up with.
So, what polishes do you love from this collection?

Once again I'm attempting to go sans shimmer, glitter and OMGLOOKITHOWSHINY. I will say polishes like the following are making the process far less painful. Today, I bring you a member from the OPI Hong Kong Collection (Say that ten times fast).
Jade is the New Black is a really interesting grayed jade creme, with a slightly dusty quality to it. I haven't seen any other greens out there quite like this one. It applied very well and in my case the second coat smoothed out any trouble spots like magic. It is a little thick, so don't go too crazy with that brush.
So if OPI releases cremes that look like this, I'm sure I'll be fully onboard in no time :)
