Quick swatch: Sephora by OPI Who Let the Dorks Out?

Who Let the Dorks Out? (SE 293) is from Sephora by OPI's new Glee collection.  It's described as "opaque metallic peacock green," which doesn't strike me as the best description for this polish.  It's kind of a wishy-washy green with icy blue shimmer.  In certain lights, you can see the shimmer turn pink.  I personally don't like the base color and the color of the shimmer together, but maybe I'll warm up to it.  It certainly doesn't make me think of the character of Sue Sylvester on "Glee" or peacocks, and it doesn't resemble the little dot on Sephora's website, either.  In fact, the two crèmes and to a lesser degree Miss Bossy Pants kind of look like their sample dots, but the rest of the colors are off-base.  Hell to the No looks like a shimmery cooler-toned purple on sephora.com, but it's more red-based in color with heavier gold shimmer, for example.  But I digress!

On the nail and layering pics...

Minty greens

Before I had an incredibly needed date with a buffing block, I swatched some minty greens and took some pictures.  There's a reason the nail pictures are very small in size.  It's for your safety. For those of you running at a high resolution, you'll see the carnage up close and be able to tell where I very obviously used the blur tool.  Again, it's for your safety. ;)The bottle pictures are safe, at least.
