OPI Hands Off My Kielbasa!

Hi hi! Continuing along with the OPI Euro Centrale Collection, I've got another polish from the set to share with you today. Hands Off My Kielbasa! is a tough color to describe. It's a brownish rose and tan color with pink and bronze shimmers in a metallic finish.

This has a pearly sheen to it that depending on the light can look a tad frosty. The formula is great on this, probably helped by the fact that it's a metallic. It's smooth and pigmented. It flows evenly onto the nails without any issues and is opaque in two quick coats. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of this color. The brown shade and the frostiness is a double whammy for me. But that's a personal preference. If those are things you enjoy, then you'll love this color.

You can find Hands Off My Kielbasa at your local nail salons and beauty stores for $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

OPI Oy-Another Polish Joke!

Hi you guys! Hanging in there this week? It looks like I'm stuck in meetings all day today. Hopefully they are interesting so I don't fall asleep lol. :-)

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.

OPI My Paprika is Hotter Than Yours!

Hi you guys! Hope you all had a terrific weekend! :-)

Today, I've got the only red from the OPI Euro Centrale Collection to share with you. My Paprika Is Hotter Than Yours! is a bright orange red with subtle shimmers in a mostly creme finish.

This dries just a shade darker on the nails than what you see in the bottle. The shimmers are hardly visible once on the nails, but they do add a pearly sheen to the finish. This formula is fantastic. It's pigmented and buttery smooth, really just gliding onto the nails. One coat is all that's needed for opaque coverage, though I did two in the swatches just to be extra sure that everything is even.

You can find My Paprika Is Hotter Than Yours! at your local nail salons and beauty stores for $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

OPI Suzi's Hungary Again!

Hi you guys! Happy weekend! :-)

Today, I've got another color from the OPI Euro Centrale Collection to share with you. Suzi's Hungary Again! is a warm, medium pink with subtle silver shimmers in a creme finish.

Once on the nails, the shimmers are visible under bright lighting, but mostly hidden otherwise. This is a beautiful pink shade. I love that it leans just a little more to the warm side, which is not something I see in pinks often. My only small gripe with the polish is that I wish the shimmers were more visible. I've always been more partial to shimmery/metallic pinks than to creme pinks, but that's a personal preference. :-)

The formula is smooth and even, drying to a glossy shine. It was still a little streaky at two coats, so I did three for the swatches.

You can find Suzi's Hungary Again! at your local nail salons and beauty stores for $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

OPI Can't Find My Czechbook

Hi hi! Friday is finally here! Weeeeee! :-)

Today, I've got another pretty color from the OPI Euro Centrale Collection to share with you. Can't Find My Czechbook is a cool-toned medium blueish teal with a creme finish.

This teal has a slightly dusty quality to it, so it appears a little muted and not too vibrant or bright. These sorts of colors, with their fresh and muted qualities, are so popular at the moment, so this is definitely an on-trend color for spring. The formula is thin and smooth, going evenly onto the nails and drying quickly to a glossy finish. What I have in the swatches is two coats, but it's still a little streaky if you look closely, so an additional coat wouldn't hurt. 

You can find Can't Find My Czechbook at your local nail salons and beauty stores for $9 for 0.5 fl oz.

NOTD: Valentine's Day Simple Mani

Hi! Hope you guys are having a great Valentine's Day so far! :-)

I just wanted to share my simple mani for today. Pink is my favorite color (in general, though not always so on the nails), so whenever there is a chance to have pink nails, I'm there! Lol. 

This is one coat of OPI Princesses Rule over two coats of Zoya Persiphony. They are the perfect combo if you are pink-lover like me. Princesses Rule adds a light pink shimmer to the deeper pink of Persiphony. Together, they almost have a duochrome quality, where depending on the angle, you can see more or less of the lighter/darker pink. Pink overload for sure. :-)

You guys have any plans for Valentine's Day? The hubby was sweet to drop by with some flowers and a card earlier. Otherwise, I don't think we're doing much. It's a mostly regular weekday. We might head out to dinner later, if we can find a place that isn't overly crowded. 

Hope the rest of your day is awesome and you're spending it with the ones you love! ♥ ♥

OPI You're Such a Budapest

Hi you guys! Happy Valentine's Day! :-)

Continuing with the OPI Euro Centrale Collection today, I've got another pretty creme to share with you. You're Such a Budapest is a cool-toned periwinkle lavender with a creme finish and just a hint shimmers.

Once it's on the nails, the shimmers are incredibly subtle. I think I managed to capture a few if you click to enlarge some of the pictures, but you have to look really carefully. The formula is smooth and easy to apply, though a little thin, so I did three coats. Each coat dries in a jiffy, so I didn't have to wait long between them.

You can find You're Such a Budapest at your local nail salons and beauty stores for $9 for 0.5 fl oz.
