OPI - Fly compared with China Glaze - Sunday Funday and OPI - Can't Find My Czechbook

A little comparison between 2 OPI's and a China Glaze.
What do we have here:
    OPI - Fly
    OPI - Can't find My Czechbook
    China Glaze - Sunday Funday
I read in a comment from Beachgal on Short 'n Chic , blog by the lovely Stephanie (thanks for following me: you're a doll, as are Ivana and Polishjunkie: love you guys) that Fly looked a lot like Sunday Funday and since I am fortunate enough to own both, I felt compelled to do a little side by side.
Fly is a completely different colour, >no dupes here<, then Sunday Funday. Fly is more petrol toned and darker, while Sunday Funday is more blue with that little hidden shimmer to spice it up a bit.

While comparing the two I found Can't Find My Czechbook to be more in line of Sunday Funday, altough CFMC is lighter and a little my turquoise and dirty then SF.

I tried to capture the differences in some pics of the bottles and some nail wheels:

Hope this helps to decide which blue is a must have for your collection!

OPI - Euro Centrale Collection - You're Such A Budapest and Can't Find My Czechbook

Moving on to the new OPI Euro Centrale Collection! Today I did DOTS: yeah. I love dots and I should do them more often.
OPI You're Such A Budapest (YSAB) and OPI Can't Find My Czechbook (CFMC) are colors that are bestest ;-) friends in my book. Both are bright but a bit faded and both are soft without being extreme pastels.

I opted to use YSAB as a base colour and use CFMC for the dots. I saw swatches of CFMC alone and that made it look more bright and blue then in my case when used as dots on the lilac. The lilac made it look more of a petrol or greenish blue....which is lovely as well :-)
*note to self* next time I should use CFMC on its own and compare the colour with the dots.

Well, have a look and see for yourself:

OPI You're Such A Budapest and OPI Can't Find My Czechbook

The formula of YSAB was a bit watery but very workable and not at all streaky: this was 2 thin layers, perhaps when worn without the dots you need 2 thicker layers or three thin ones. There is some ultra fine purple and silver shimmer in there somewhere but it does not transfer to the nail. Perhaps that it makes the colour a bit more glowing but you don't notice shimmer just a this very slight glow.
