OPI What's with the Cattitude? Swatch

I love creme finish nail polishes. Boy oh boy do I love a nice, chic, nothing-but-awesome color finish on a nail polish. Don't get me wrong, I love all polishes: glitter, shimmer, holo, glass fleck, foil, flakie...you name it, but I love when a polish WOWs me with nothing but awesome color. That, and I love how put-together a creme polish feels. Idk, maybe I'm crazy but creme finishes are my cup of tea.

For today's post, I chose OPI What's with the Cattitude? from their Shrek collection. I love this polish. I love how it looks, I love the finish, I love everything about it...except the formula, which isn't as bad as others have made it out to be. Yes, it took three coats for full coverage. Yes, it was streaky as hell on the first coat. Yes, it had a few bald spots on the second coat. But I mean, come on. All we have to do is wait a few minutes between coats and know how to apply it. I mentioned how I apply pastels (and all hard to apply polishes, for that matter) here. It takes a little bit more effort but what's the big deal? If the polish is nice, I'm willing to put in the extra work. Below is three coats of WwtC and some Seche:


It's this awesome, faded denim blue polish that looks dusty and bright at the same time. I haven't been able to stop staring at my hands since I put this polish on. Maybe I'm biased because of my odd infatuation with creme polishes, but this is awesome if you ask me. I have a similar polish to this, Color Club Factory Girl, but that's what I call a PITA formula, but I can work with it. Funny, I lack patience in many areas but when it comes to polish, I have all the patience in the world :)

What do you girls think? Do you love cremes too? How about this color? Let me know, thanks for reading! :D
