OPI Shrek swatches and comparisions

I'm sick and so you get swatches!
Who the Shrek Are You? 3 coats.
Sally Hansen Insta-dri in Lickity Split Lime, Shrek, Lickity Split Lime, Shrek. I thought these would be pretty close but not really. Shrek is more yellow toned and a bit lighter. It is a fun color and looks green enough that it doesn't wash me out.
Rumple's Wiggin. 3 coats.
China Glaze Light As Air, Rumple's, Revlon Gum Drop, Rumple's. Neither of these come close to Rumples, he is a little darker and true purple toned. I've only seen the first Shrek so what the heck is this name all about? Rumple's Wiggin?
Fiercely Fiona 2 coats (looks like it needed 3!)
Orly Spark, Fiona, China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, Fiona. In lamp light this looked pretty yellow but in sunlight and with flash it shows it's green side. This is a really weird color. It is almost a mustardy shade with a hint of green.
What's with the Cattitude? 3 coats.
Zoya Yummy, Cattitude, China Glaze For Audrey, Cattitude. Not even close! I realize now I should have compard it to CC Take Me To Your Chateau but it totally slipped my mind. This is a true baby blue and is very pretty.

All in all these are great colors and I've yet to see dupes of these. I do think they may be easy to franken since they only seem a shade off or a hint of another color different.

One thing I noticed when swatching was these are SHINY. These all are no top coat. The application was good. I had some bald spots but when I swatch I'm impatient, I think if I waited in between I wouldn't have an issue.

MAC Girl About Town vs Show Orchid & Avon Country Rose swatch

When I first swatched Show Orchid I said I wanted to compare it to Girl About Town but couldn't find it at the time. I found it a couple of days later and finally got around to comparing them. I would say that Girl About Town is slightly more red toned and Show Orchid has a slight blue shimmer. On me at least Girl About Town always comes out looking very red toned for a pink lipstick so I never wear it, clashes too much with the hair now anyways. I have to say I don't think I need both of them in my collection and I prefer Show Orchid.
I truthfully order a lot of Avon and I never see any of it swatched so I figure I will do a couple swatches here and there. This is Country Rose, which is a weird color. It's a warm toned pink/red with lots of shimmer and a slightly brown undertone.
Tomorrow will be a good day for me, I'm expecting both a Transdesign package full of CG Pool Side and the new Coheed and Cambria new album. In the next couple days I will be posting a HUGE Sinful Colors swatch post!
