OPI Euro Centrale Spring/Summer 2013 Part 1

Yay!!  It's Friday!!  Time is flying by so quickly.. just as long as it slows down once spring arrives, I'm fine with that!!  Speaking of spring, I have six beautiful polishes from OPI's Euro Centrale Spring/Summer 2013 Collection to share with you today.  Along with this new collection, I also have some new nubs :(  I had a bad break on my middle fingernail, so I filed them all down.. grrr.  On to the swatches..

You're Such a Budapest:

You're Such a Budapest is a gorgeous sheer periwinkle-purple cream.  I absolutely love this shade!  I did use three coats.  I still consider it a creme, just not as thick as most.  This is a perfect spring color and I see myself using this as a base color for a lot of glitter toppers I own.  :)

Hands Off My Kielbasa!:

Hands Off My Kielbasa! is a peach-y, bronze-y, almost tan-ish color that really isn't for me.  I'm usually not drawn to these colors, but I'm sure many of you are and formula-wise, Hands Off My Kielbasa! was just fine.  I used two coats in the above two pics. (It does have a pretty shimmer).

I Saw.. U Saw.. We Saw..Warsaw:

with top coat

I Saw.. You Saw.. We Saw.. Warsaw (crazy name lol) is a deep blue, almost, but not quite navy cream.  I used two coats in the above photos.  This dried kinda dull, so I added top coat in the second picture and that made a world of difference.  I'm currently wearing this color and I really adore this shade of blue.

Oy-Another Polish Joke!:

Oy-Another Polish Joke! is a yellow-gold shimmer.  My camera wigged out with this one, especially in direct sunlight, but I was able to capture it's true color.  The formula is thin, but I think it's supposed to be.. so you can wear Oy-Another Polish Joke! as a topper over a darker color.  I used three coats in the above pictures and you can still see some VNL, but I still like this color none-the-less.

Polka.Com:

Polka.Com contains light blue, hot pink, and teal hex glitter, along with some micro glitter in a clear base.  The formula with Polka.Com was fantastic!!  You all know I'm an indie-lover and own tons of glitter toppers, so I was leery as to the quality of Polka.Com, but not to worry-- it's great!!  I used one flawless coat over You're Such A Budapest followed by top coat.

Suzi's Hungary Again!:

I'm in love with Suzi's Hungary Again!!  I'll admit, my first thought was: "This reminds me of Strawberry Margarita."  I'll have to grab my bottle and compare the two.  This is such a gorgeous warm-toned pink with just a hint of peach and very subtle shimmer.  Suzi's Hungary Again! has a great formula.  I used two coats.

**There you have my first six swatches of OPI's Euro Centrale Collection.  I'll be back soon with the remaining six.  My personal favorites out of these are:  Suzi's Hungary Again!, You're Such a Budapest, and Polka.Com (in that order).  Spring Collections are always my favorite because they're usually the most diverse..  just like the various shades in this collection! :)**
