OPI Cajun Shrimp is a red shade that is part of their permanent collection. This polish is a regular gloss polish and can be purchased anywhere OPI polishes are sold.
Ease of Application
OPI Cajun Shrimp goes on flawlessly and evenly. I have applied this multiple times and I have not had any problems with patchiness, streaking, or any other application issues. I think out of all of the polishes that I own this one goes on the best.
Score: 10 out of 10
Color
The color of this polish is a bright red shade. It is opaque within the first coat and the second coat just makes it a bit brighter and evens out any user flaws. I find that this polish works great with my skin tone, and in my personal opinion would look great on just about all skin tones.
Score: 10 out of 10
Feel
This is a glossy polish and as such feels glossy. However, it can go a bit dull after a short period of time so to keep that glossiness you might want to get a top coat.
9 out of 10
Lasting Power
The lasting power of this polish is phenomenal. It usually lasts me about a week give or take a day without chipping. If pushed I could probably wear it for another weak before it looked HORRIBLE. With a gel top coat this polish could possible last a month.

That is some bright red! I never do my nails because it’s usually my nails and the rest of my hands, but I’d love to try out that red!
If you ever go and get your nails done you should check and see if they have the polish there. Or find a girlfriend that’s really good at doing nails and bribe her to do yours lol 🙂
I’m always a sucker for a good red nail polish! Plus I love OPI!
OPI is one of the best isn’t it? I also love their top coat 🙂
When I say your RSS email pop up today. I was wondering, what color could cajun shrimp be? Looks about right and I really really like the color.
D’aww I didn’t know you were subscribed to my email subscriptions. It’s a totally me color and I think when I wear it that it makes my hands look gorgeous. What’s your go to nail polish?
Love it, love it, love it. I have a similar color, which I dug out after seeing your post the other day & I am bringing it with me to the salon this week when I get my nails done.
I can’t wait to see it, you should post it on Instagram once they’re done 🙂
I’m a long time user of OPI, and I’ve used Cajun Shrimp for years. It’s got a nice coral hue to it, and is hot enough to remind me of summer.
After this cold streak I could use a bit of summer in my life lol.
That is such a fun color, but wow, nail polish has gotten expensive, huh? I haven’t purchased any in a while. 🙂
Yes it does seem to be steadily increasing in price, along with everything else lol
I am loving this shade. It would be great for Valentine’s Day!
You read my mind, stay tuned next week for a nail art tutorial featuring this shade 😉
That’s a beautiful color and I don’t know why I don’t choose red more often. It’s so classic!
It really is an iconic shade isn’t it? It never really goes out of style or season, in my opinion.
LOl! The name makes me hungry! I do love the red color and think it would make a vibrant toe nail polish color.
LOL the first time I saw it in the store my first thought was “Oh Cajun, I’m from Louisiana” but I put it down. After walking through the store a bit longer I finally went back and picked it up without really knowing why. When my hubs and I were later eating at a seafood restaurant I figured it out lol.
Cajun Shrimp is a long time pedi favorite!
I’ve been getting a lot of comments about how it would look great on the toes and I never thought of that before now. I’m going to have to give it a try now, I have a job interview tomorrow and I think I might get them done before I go 🙂
I was expecting a Cajun Shrimp recipe, LOL! Good color for the Holidays!
LOL I probably would be too if I wasn’t a beauty blogger. Although, that does give me a bit of an idea for a recipe 😉
I love OPI nail polishes. I really need to pick up their top coat polish!
Their Top Coat is SPECTACULAR, I love it so much! I’m going to try their base coat and polish remover next 🙂
I would love a long lasting polish on my nails! I want to try that bright red polish too!
A long lasting polish will save you a lot of time in the long run 🙂
That is such a beautiful color! I love OPI polishes and I think this would look great on some summer toes!
I think so too! Especially if you go to the pool a lot.
that color makes me want to get a navy and white cardigan and a shrimp colored tank under it with some espadrilles just to show OFF the color. it’s gorgeous!
Wow you should be a fashion blogger because that would look to cute!
What a fun color! My mom would love it!
It really is a fun color, it lets your young side shine through 🙂
Love OPI colors!! Def a great color on you!! Love that red.
OPI is one of the greatest in my opinion 🙂
That color is gorgeous! I need to find this one.
It really is, you should be able to find it anywhere that OPI is sold. I actually just found a bottle of this at my local Wal-Mart 🙂
OPI is an awesome brand. Not so sure about the name but looks like it went on nice and smooth for you.
lol OPI known for their out there and wacky names. You should see the names they have for their Brazil collection coming out this summer 🙂
Cajun Shrimp is on of my favorite OPI colors, especially for spring!
It really is a great color for spring and summer, actually I think it’s good anytime of the year…can you tell it’s one of my favorites? lol
I love OPI polishes… but I have to say this one leans a little to close to the orange side for me :s
It does tend to go a bit towards the coral side of red so I completely understand that 🙂 Do you have a favorite just plain red polish?
Im a big black nail color gal. Im thnking of changing colors, though and red would be bold.
I love me some black nail polish but I have to be in the mood for it. You could always incorporate a nail art look that features both black and red to ease into the move 🙂
I LOVE that color!!!
Isn’t it just great?! It would probably look FABULOUS on you in your fashion posts 😉
Pretty pretty! I love things that are easy! With 2 kiddos, beauty routines have to be easy!
I know how it is! I don’t have kids but my dog always chooses when I sit down to paint my nails as her time to go outside so a quick drying and easy to apply polish is a must!
I used to be a Nail Tech and OPI holds a very special place in my heart. Oh how I long for good times…..
Really? That’s super cool! I’ve noticed that most nail places I pass by have OPI on their shelves.
I’ve been hooked on Julep polish lately, but this color of OPI is fabulous! I always see it on the fingers and toes of people on Instagram. It’s a crowd favorite.
I was hooked on Julep for awhile as well. I actually only just switched to loving OPI.
What a fun “pop” of red color! I usually go for a darker red, but I really like how that looks!
I usually only use darker reds during November and December but I love me some vampy colors. I should probably put up a few reviews of darker polish colors as well 🙂
Super cute color to get into the spirit of Valentine’s Day! I typically get pedicures instead of painting my nails because the polish wears off so quickly. Maybe if I use a high-quality polish like OPI that won’t happen.
A good way to get any quality of polish to last a super long time is to use a gel polish in between coats and after your top coat. Another blogger, Angela, has a tutorial up on her site that you can check out 🙂

I love that color, it’s perfect for spring in Miami. I’m going to have to buy some new polishes, all of mine are getting old!
I can imagine that it would be GREAT for spring in Miami!
haven’t stopped loving that cajun nail polish… Must get some soon and paint the town red.

It really is great polish 🙂
The color is really beautiful and it looks like you were really happy with the product! Maybe I should try it out.
I am a huge fan of OPI polish and love their colors. This is one no exception! Great share! Now I need to go get a mani asap! My dry winter hands need some TLC. 🙂
I love the OPI polishes. I really like that shade.
I like the color of this nail polish. It seems like a warm day is on your fingrs.
