OPI Shrek Comparisons: The Blues

Good morning, Dear Reader!

I have more OPI Shrek Collection comparison swatches for you today, this time the blues.  I did them the same way as the purples - all are with base and top coat, dry, and thumb, middle and pinky are OPI, index and ring are the comparison color.  The pictures were taken in sunlight.

I'll start with What's with the Cattitude, the lighter of the two blues.  I compared it to Color Club Factory Girl (formerly Blue Light), Essie Shelter Island, and SpaRitual Full of Life (again, just using what was handy and seemed like it might be close).

Factory Girl was a close match, just a tiny bit lighter than the OPI.

Shelter Island is distinctly darker than the OPI.

SpaRitual Full of Life was again quite close, bit a bit lighter.

Clearly, the Color Club is the closest match, barely distinguishable from the OPI.

The darker OPI Shrek Blue, Ogre the Top Blue, I compared to Color Club Chelsea Girl (formerly 220 Volts), Nubar Hot Blue, and SpaRitual Crystal Eyes.  Each was a bit darker than the OPI.

Here is Chelsea Girl.

This is Nubar Hot Blue.

Finally, SpaRitual Crystal Eyes.

Although they're not dead-on dupes, I think both the Color Club and the Nubar are close enough to the OPI to fill in for one another.

That's what I have for you this morning, Dear Reader.  Until next time, love and nail polish to you!
