Today, I've got one of my favorites and definitely one of the more interesting polishes from the OPI Euro Centrale Collection to share with you. Oy-Another Polish Joke! is filled with small sparkly gold shimmers in a sheer base.
This polish is quite sheer by itself. In the swatches, I'm showing three coats, and you can still see a fair amount of visible nail lines at that. It isn't too noticeable in person because the sparkliness hides some of that sheerness, but it's probably more sheer than most would be comfortable with.

| Oy-Another Polish Joke! over My Paprika Is Hotter Than Yours |
I definitely prefer to wear an underwear with this, and I feel that's when this polish really comes alive. I've got one coat of Oy over My Paprika Is Hotter Than Yours! in the picture above, and you can see that the combination is fantastic and a little unexpected. I certainly didn't think Oy would look so good as a top coat, but it really does. I'm looking forward to trying it over some other colors soon.
Formula-wise, Oy goes onto the nails easily and smoothly. It has a medium consistency and is just a little thicker than OPIs usually are. I think it's due to the suspension base that keeps all the shimmers evenly distributed throughout the polish. Dry time is a little longer due to the consistency, but nothing that I could not wait for.
You can find Oy-Another Polish Joke! at your local nail salons and beauty stores for $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

Oh, I hope you didn't fall asleep, that's so embarrassing ;)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the layering, it's superb!
Haha I almost made it through the whole day. I did duck out a little early. ;)
DeleteThanks, I'm glad you like the layered look!

Love how this looks layered! This would look great over a blue!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you like the layered look! I think Oy would look fantastic over blue and a bunch of other colors. :-)

I seriously need this!! I'm Polish, so I think this nail polish would be perfect for me lol :D
ReplyDeleteHehe you definitely need this! :-)

Oh it's very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteBut then... it's opi. And I have Zoya Ziv which is equally prerry and also 2 coats opaque ;-)
I'm glad you think it's pretty! This one is pretty different from Ziv, so it's definitely not a dupe... just saying :P

It looks gorgeous over the orange!
ReplyDeleteLooking at it by itself, I was kinda like, "Nice, but I still like Ziv better...," and then I hit your last pic and was all, "WOW!" Yun, you are brilliant--this makes a *fabulous* top coat! :D
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks, I think it's a fantastic top coat too! I can't wait to try it out over some other colors! :D

I was so curious to see this one as I saw Liesl layering it over the Czech Book polish and I loved it. I agree that I would rather wear it as topcoat - your combination is beautiful :-) - Christine
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you're liking the layering! It's definitely awesome as a topper! :-)

I love this! It's got almost a yellow gold look
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you like it! It's more yellow than most golds, so it's definitely unique. :-)

I just saw a blog post with this polish layered on top and think it looks better over something as well. Would be nice to use it to spice up a polish.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you like it layered! It's awesome as a topper! :-)

This one is so much better layered. I am not a fan of it by itself.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I like it layered too! :-)
Delete~ Yun
Wow this is gorgeous!!! Totally loving it layered over My Paprika is Hotter Than Yours. Stunning!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you like it! I think it's fantastic layered too! :-)

This is really pretty, but I must say I hate the name. I get that it is a play on all the polish jokes that they make, but does anyone else think the Polish (nationality) joke reference it could also allude to is a little odd?
ReplyDeleteLol OPI names are always a little weird. I'm glad you like the color! :-)
Delete~ Yun
So pretty! I love that it looks great both layered and built up to opacity by itself!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you like it! :-)
Delete~ Yun
oooo, that's a nice gold topper!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? I think so too! :-)
Delete~ Yun
Ohh, I'm so glad you showed us the layering! Oy is so magical layered :) Though I must say, your swatches of it by itself are the prettiest I've seen :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! *blushes* <3
DeleteI think Oy is awesome as a topper too! :-)
~ Yun
This would be really fun to play around with as a top coat! Love the effect with My Paprika Is Hotter Than Yours :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you like the layered look! :-)

I love the way that looks over My Paprika Is Hotter Than Yours! It doesn't look like any other nail polish I've seen. I've gotten quite a few sheer polishes that have disappointed me until I used them as topcoats, and then I was so glad to have them!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm really loving Oy layered too! The effect is pretty awesome! :-)
Delete~ Yun
Thanks, I'm glad you think so! :-)

I like the layering. the yellow reminds me a bit of china glaze champagne bubbles for some reason :)
