OPI Polka.com & Vant to Bite My Neck?

Hi you guys! Hope you're all having a great weekend! :-)

I haven't posted in two days because the hubby and I just got an awesome board game, and we've have been playing it nonstop for the last two days lol. We've previously played a few games in the Ticket to Ride board game series with friends, and we totally loved them. Then we saw Ticket to Ride - Nordic Countries, and it was specifically designed for 2 to 3 players. Exactly what we were looking for! So we got it and have been playing non-stop. In fact, we finally had to take a break because my thumbs are all bruised from shuffling the cards. :D

Ok, back to polish! :P Today, I've got two colors from the OPI Euro Centrale Collection to share with you. Let's start off with another of my favorites from the collection. Polka.com is filled with small purple glitters and medium-sized pink, teal blue, and purple hexagon glitters, all in a sheer base.






I have one coat of Polka.com over Vant to Bite My Neck? in the swatches above. The formula is a little thicker and in order to get the medium hex glitters onto the nails, you do have to glob it on a bit and then coax them into the right spots. That's pretty much expected for larger glitters and is not too difficult to do. I love the color combination of the glitters in this. They look fantastic together, and I can't wait to try it over some other colors (especially lighter colors). 


Here's how Vant to Bite My Neck? looks by itself. Nothing too interesting with this one, just your typical vampy extra dark eggplant purple in a creme finish. The formula is fantastic, as typical of OPI dark cremes. It's smooth and pigmented, opaque in two coats.

You can find Polka.com and Vant to Bite My Neck? at your local nail salons and beauty stores for $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

  4. Polka.com is so gorgeous! Vant to bite my neck is pretty but it's not something I'd wear.

    1. To tell you the truth, I didn't think I would like Polka.com as much as I do either. It didn't wow me until I put it on my nails. :-)
      Hehe it's always great fun to find an activity the hubby and I both enjoy and can do together.
