Euro Centrale by OPI

Euro Centrale by OPI for Spring and Summer 2013.

Did the ‘Spring and Summer’ that piqued my interest? At just January, I’m already so tired of the Winter season.

Or, was it ‘Euro Centrale’ that sparked my curiosity, feeling the memories take hold of my past European vacation.

Either way, I was eager to check out the new OPI Collection, all inspired by the fashion runways of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Romania.

Take a look at these colors!

With the Euro Centrale by OPI for Spring/Summer 2013, Classic meets contemporary with the celebration of a region where history meets modern design, like gothic churches alongside vibrant graffiti murals.

One color that surprised me was ‘I Saw…U Saw…We Saw..Warsaw‘, which looks black from far away. Get close, and you see such a deep midnight blue, with a bit rich Caribbean undertone from the shimmer. It’s much more of a multi-faceted polish than I expected {not the best photo for this one, yet it shows the nice shimmer to it}.

My fave of the bunch is ‘You’re Such A Budapest‘, a lovely lavender. For this one I needed 2 layers to get the right coverage. The definition of ‘Spring’, I loved wearing this on my fingers, yet I know will soon be found on my toes as well. For those in a Spring Wedding this year, and looking for a periwinkle hue, this ones for you – it’s such a lovely color.

I also tried layering ‘Polka.com‘ over the ’You’re Such A Budapest‘, which gave it a different., playful look. I really like the mix of colors in ‘Polka.com’, and while I’m not usually a ‘sparkle-based’ polish girl, I really like this one {which is best over a clear or light polish}. A mix of small and larger glitter, you can really notice it. And of course it quickly became my girls’ favorite of the set.

These shades, like all other OPI polishes contain no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde.

This is a sneak peek, my friends – the Euro Centrale by OPI collection won’t be seen in stores until February 6, 2013. At that time, shop at Professional Salons and spas, and each nail lacquer has an ARV of $10.95 CAN.
