Fiercely Fiona Swatch (Post 10)

Okay so here's another and the last (for now) Shrek collection swatch. The story behind this polish is kind of interesting. My friends are really into some of my tank tops and stuff so when i out grow them I gave them to one of my friends and we had a sleepover that night. While I was at her house I was looking through her nail polish (of course) and found two I had to have because they were such unique colors, Fiercly Fiona and Baguette Me Not (the next swatch post). Because I had given her the items earlier she gave me Baguette Me Not, free of charge. However Fiercly Fiona was her sisters. Luckily for me, her sister said yeah you can have it for 5 bucks. So I scored two rare colors for 5 dollars! Steal! Anyways, Fiercly Fiona's from the Shrek collection, of which I already have three of, which was a super sweet gift from my mom and the start of an obsession. It like all the other colors in the collection (and mine!) is a creme.

Fiercly Fiona is one of the strangest, most unique colors I have ever seen! It is a yellowed green. The above picture is acurrate to what it actually looks like in the bottle while on the nails it is much more yellow. It's the kind of color that looks yellow next to yellow and green next to green in one light and yellow next to green and green next to yellow in another.

I think this is one of the top three worst swatches so please please please bear with me! As you can see, it looks much yellower than in the bottle. This is probably the worst formulated out of the four Shrek polishes I have. It is streaky at first but by the third coat you are fine, takes forever to dry and is kind of runny. But despite all that I still really love this color.

Funkey Dunkey Swatch

Hey everybody! I've decided to do one blog, two swatches, one blog two swatches. So here's the post! I hpe everyone's okay from the hurricane- we came ou unscathed. Hope you enjoy! We're up to the last polish that follows the whole mom gifting story! This is Funkey Dunkey, a purple polish from the Shrek collection released summer 2010. It is a creme finish and amazingly opaque. It like the others in it's collection, are no longer avaliable officially, although I have seen most of the collection (never Rumple's Wiggin or What's With the Cattitude?) at Ulta's all the time. Even if your Ulta or beauty supplier doesn't have these polishes, they are easy to find on Amazon, ebay and other beauty related webstores.

This photo is relatively true to the actually color. It however is making it seem much more blue base than it actually is (purple's are either pink, yellow or blue based). This is definitely a yellow based purple that is leaning towards the plum end of the spectrum. It is one of the most opaque nail polishes I have ever used. Granted, I do use pretty heavy coats but still..... One coat gave me full opacity and it does chip a little easier than others in this collection, it still lasts for at least 2-3 days.

This is one of the better swatches, even though I'm sure we can all agree is still kinda awful. (note- I have short and stubby nails so even when swatch quality is better, you are rarely if ever going to see the beautiful long, even nails you see on other, more professional blogs/sites) This is true to the actual color. However this was taken using flash and in natural lighting this does seem to be quite a bit darker until you step into good lighting.

Who the Shrek Are You? Swatch

Hey guys, here's my second swatch post, also done in a bulk swatch! As you know from the Ogre the Top Blue post, this was given to me by my mom last summer along with Ogre the Top Blue and Funkey Dunkey. Expect a crap quality swatch!

This is pretty much spot on in the photography department- a touch yellower and a touch lighter in real life but that's about it. This is from the Shrek collection which came out last summer of 2010. It, like all polishes in the Shrek collection is a creme finish which means it has no shimmer or duochrome but still has a glossy, reflective finish, unlike a suede or a matte. It is a bright green- one of the brightest I've seen, without being dayglo and having that in your face vibe about it. This is not super streaky but needs two to three coats for full opacity. It lasts for a long time in the nail polish world and is a fantastic summer color.

This swatch isn't too terrible and in my opinion, shows the color perfectly. If you have any questions about this polish or anything else nail related, leave me a comment below or email me at sierraheartspolishes@gmail.com

Ogre the Top Blue Swatch!

Okay guys here's how these swatch posts are going to work- I am going to start with my first OPI and work my way to my current nail polishes and new purhases over time. With my old nail polishes (when I say old i just mean worn before) I don't just post them when I wear them again because with me continuously buying new ones, I might not wear them for a long time and posting will get delayed by sososo much. I bulk swatch, which essentially means I put the polish on, photograph it, remove it, get the next one, put it on, photograph it, remove it etc. All my photos for bulk swatched polishes are honestly, crappy. They are messily and quickly done. I know this is unappealling and even I cringe when I see them. It's not that I don't care, It's that I don't have the time. So I apologize but once we reach my current/recently bought polishes, you'll get pics of second day nails- all the residue around the cuticles removed, great finishes, top coat and all that jazz. So I apologize that for the first month or two of posting it's kind of gross but I promise you that after that they'll be much better. In addition to the swatches, there's a photo of the bottle and a review! Enjoy!

So as stated above, this is from Ogre the Top Blue from OPI's Shrek summer collection of 2010. This was the beginning of an addiction. Now technically speaking, I had a mini OPI gift set from holiday of 09 but it was this polish that began it all. I was getting my hair done for a school dance and while flipping through a magazine I see an ad for these and so does my mom. We were like OMG because this collection consisted of greens, blues and purples, which are to this day my favorite colors. Then after that we go to the nail salon and it was an under the sea dance so I wanted a blue polish. Unknowingly I picked up What's With the Cattitude (a pale blue). My mom said no it would be too sheer. My friend however got it and it was opaque and just what I wanted :(. But I had gone for a darker option- Ogre the Top Blue. My mom was in love with the color and I liked it a lot too. We then realized the polishes were from the shrek collection! I thought it was a cool coincidence. My mom surprised me a few weeks later with my first OPI polishes- Ogre the Top Blue, Funkey Dunkey and Who the Shrek Are You? And so an addiction began......

Anyways sentimental story beside, this is truly a fantastic color. It is so opaque I can use one coat and be fine. I do however, prefer to use two. It's brightened classic blue with green undertones. It like 90% of my nail polish collection, is a creme finish which means it has no shimmer but is still glossy unlike a matte or suede.

Ogre the Top Blue

This picture is pretty true to the color- just a touch greener in real life. This color lasts a long time without chipping, isn't streaky and isn't too sensitive to brush strokes. Even though it is no longer avaliable "officially" I still see it at Ulta's all the time and is all over the internet at it's original price or lower.

The first of many terrible swatch photos. I know it's a frightening thought but this is one of the better ones by quite a bit! I apologize for the qualiy of the above photo but I swear- things will improve over time!
