OPI Did It On 'Em Swatch and Review

Normally it's Cheap Polish Tuesday but I've been blogging and photographing up a storm over the last couple of weeks so I am going to burn off some backlog here now that I have a little bit. It's ELECTION DAY! here in British Columbia so I hope any of my fellow Canadian west coasters have gone to the polls. If you don't vote, at least spoil your ballot. Having a low voter turn out is really embarrassing so please, humour me and do it.

Anyway today I have OPI Did It On 'Em which I believe is from Nicki Minaj's collection from 2011. (I only remember the year because I wore Metallic 4 Life on New Years Eve.) Anyhoo, Did It On 'Em is a bold "Shrek-ish" green/yellow creme. I personally find the colour nauseating from the bottle but when I swatched it on my hand, it didn't look that bad. The formula was great - a standard self-levelling two coat creme from OPI. I just love OPI's cremes, they are always a hit with me. Here's two coats of OPI Did It On 'Em, with no top coat:

And you might have remembered it topped with China Glaze Glitz N Pieces from last week:

Overall I think it's such a great base colour for glitter toppers like this. When something is so bold and in your face, it's nice to slap it in the face and tell it to calm down with some fun spunk like this. Man, that probably came out wrong.

What do you think of these Shrek colours? Are they awkward in the bottles and nice on your hands? Or awkward in the bottles and also awkward on your hands?

    Yeah, as much as I like ugly-pretty colours like this one, they are not flattering on me! You pull it off pretty well :)

      I still don't find it flattering though - I think I much prefer the subtle dark colours rather than super bold like this one. I feel like this is still too much!

    I have a similar bright green and I was afraid of it in the bottle, but once on my nails I was in love!

    This colours feels great for the summer.

      It's such an awkward colour. There's still something I don't like about it but in either case, it doesn't look that bad. I just like having something more subtle on my hands than loud. I only kept that unicorn stamp nail art for a day before it drove me crazy that I kept looking at my hands! lol

    I dig it on my hands, but you're right - so weird in the bottle! "...it's nice to slap it in the face and tell it to calm down" HAHA oh my God I laughed so hard hahaha.

      Man it's so bold. I type on a keyboard all day so when I see that weird colour on my nails all day, it's distracting!!! I am happy with my navy blue polish right now though. :3
