OPI Polka.com

      Today, I have a swatch of Polka.com from OPI's Euro Central Collection to show show you guys. Polka.com is a large and small hexagonal glitter topper. It has large teal, pink, and dark purple hexagons as well as micro hexagons in purple and pink, all in a clear base.

Swatches:
Indoor with flash. 

Indoor no flash. 
*Best color representation.

Outdoor
...It's pretty cloudy outside, no sun in sight. Rude uncooperative weather. 

Closeups:
Indoor no flash. 

Outdoor.

Some music... because it's stuck in my head. 
P!nk - Just Give Me A Reason. 

     All pictures are with one coat of Polka.com over two coats of OPI Rumples Wiggin' (sorry I'm obsessed with this color right now). It applies easily and dries fairly quickly. No complaints about application or formula either. It's a nice glitter topper that's very springy. Over all I really like this glitter. It's so pretty. Definitely worth having in my collection. Well that's all I have for you today. So until next time, stay classy and stay polished.

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.
XOXO
