OPI ~ Fiercely Fiona

OPI ~ Fiercely Fiona

Lemon yellow crème with a green cast

Fiercely Fiona is from the “Shrek Forever After” collection from May 2010. This is the second bottle I own of this polish, but it’s the first time I actually wear it.

I received my first bottle of this in a swap in 2012. I had it in the box for a while until a dear friend eyed it. Apparently I didn’t have the rule back then about always at least swatching a polish before letting other girls adopt it, so it left my stash without me having actually tried it on. Fast forward to now: I found it again, ridiculously cheap in a blog sale and decided to try and own it again – and to actually wear it this time :D

The formula is on the thin side and this yellow is a diva like its yellow sisters often are. The first two coats came on streaky, and the third coat did the trick. I applied a layer of topcoat to even out the little irregularities.

The stickers I used is from Essence. They don’t seem thick at all, but the edges are very visible, even under another layer of polish; this time it was El Corazón’s holo flakie topper 421h/25.

Here’s my final manicure.

This is Fiercely Fiona on its own; it’s three coats and a layer of topcoat. I don’t know why yellow polishes are almost always misbehaving!

This is the stuff I used for my nails today.

Does Fiercely Fiona get to stay in the stash this time? I’m not sure. I think the colour is pretty unique, but one diva in this house is plenty, haha! :D

Number of coats: 3
Drying time: Good

Finish: Crème, a bit sheer
Overall impression: Thin, streaky formula, but unique colour

Buy again: I think twice is enough! :D
