Cajun Shrimp is one of our readers’ favorite reds - it’s right up there next to Big Apple Red.

Strawberry Margarita is another OPI favorite, and though dominated by pink tones, it’s just as bright and cheerful as Cajun Shrimp.

Because these are both bright OPI colors in the pink-red color group, they are commonly compared to each other, so today we’re going to show you the similarities and differences between Cajun Shrimp and Strawberry Margarita.

They’re in two different OPI formulas: Cajun Shrimp is shown in the standard Nail Lacquer formula, where Strawberry Margarita is shown in the long wear Infinite Shine formula.

You can get both colors in either formula, so in this comparison, mainly pay attention to color similarities and differences, not the formulas.
