OPI My Vampire Is Buff

     Today, I have My Vampire Is Buff (MVIB) from OPI's Euro Central collection to show you guys. MVIB is a pale peachy creme polish. I really don't know what else to say about it...so here are some pictures.

Swatches:
Indoor with flash. 

Indoor no flash. 

Outdoor in sunlight. 
*Best color representation. 

Outdoor in shade. 

     All pictures are with 3 coats of MVIB and a layer of top coat. This formula is thin and streaky when applied. I'm really not a fan of the formula for this polish. It's like a lot of OPI pale cremes and you have to add several layers to get it opaque. I did two thin layers and one thick layer and I am still not completely happy with it. Don't get me wrong I love OPI...but they need to do some work on their pale creme polishes...I don't like polishes that I have to apply more than two layers. The dry time is long (due to more than two layers), and like I said it's really streaky and that makes application less than ideal. Beyond the formula the color is nice, looks good alone or as a base color for a glitter topper...but is it worth the formula problems...meh, maybe...if you buy it on sale (think clearance prices), or get it as a gift but I wouldn't pay full price for this. In fact if I had known the formula would be such a pill I probably would not have purchased it myself. Has anyone else had this problem with MVIB? Or is it just me and my bottle? Anyway that's all I have for you today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.

OPI Can't Find My Czechbook

     Today, I am going to show you Can't Find My Czechbook from OPI's Euro Central collection. Can't Find My Czechbook is a teal creme polish that I just love.

Swatches:
Indoor no flash. 

Indoor with flash. 

Outdoor in sunlight. 

Outdoor in shade. 

     All pictures are with two coats of Can't Find My Czechbook and a layer of topcoat. This polish is thin but applies to full opacity in two coats. Now normally I am not a huge fan of OPI creme polishes...I love OPI but their cremes (specially the light ones) are streaky and thin and you have to apply 4 or more layers to reach opacity...this is nothing like the other thin streaky OPI creme polishes I have. Which makes it even better. It's such a pretty blue, I just love it. Well that's all I  have for you today. Until next time, stay classy and stay polished.

OPI Rumple's Wiggin' Swatch and Review

     I am super excited to show this polish to you guys today. OPI's Rumple's Wiggin' has been a long time lemming for me and I am over the moon to finally have it in my collection. Rumple's Wiggin is a pale lavender creme from the Shrek Forever After Collection, and the prettiest purple polish ever. IMO. My new favorite purple polish.

The bottle:

     All pictures above are with two coats of Rumple's Wiggin' and one coat of top coat. The polish applies easily and dries quickly. Over all a great polish and a great addition to my polish stash. I will be wearing this a lot. It's so pretty. Although I must confess that when I first wanted this polish it was because the polish is such a pretty color, plus I loved the movie (Shrek Forever After) and the character (Rumplestiltskin) this particular polish it's based on. But now...that I am started watching Once Upon A Time, I hear Rumpelstiltskin and I think this (I blame Robert Carlyle. He's is so wonderfully weird, charming and just SO much fun to watch as Rumple, that when I think of Rumpelstiltskin I can't help but think of him now...plus the accent doesn't hurt). Which made me want this polish even more because I am OCD like that. And that's my random weirdness for the day. I thought I'd share it with you. But over all this is great polish even if you don't like the movie/character the polish is amazing. That's all I have for you today. Until Next time Stay classy and stay polished.
