Can’t Find My Czechbook surely deserves a post of its own, but for now I’d love to show you this awesome blue shade accompanied by white & coral leopard accents.
It’s a relatively new color by OPI, released with 11 more shades of Euro Centrale collection for Spring/Summer 2013. Czechbook is the only polish I bought from the collection so far. In fact, when I saw it in the Euro Centrale promo pictures, I knew that Czechbook had to be mine :) It was a blue creme and it was OPI! The rest of the shades didn’t really appeal to me, most of them being not my colors, and some were similar to what I already have. However, I still may buy that popular off-white Vampire is a Buff, as I saw it in many nail polish blogs, and it seems to be a good base for nail art.
As it’s usual with OPI, the formula was nice and I had no problem with application :) The pics show 2 rather thick coats of Czechbook over clear base, with a top coat.
I know leopard prints aren’t original any longer, but they are still fun to do :) Here’s what I needed for this nail look:
- Orly clear base
- OPI Can’t Find My Czechbook NL E75
- OPI Alpine Snow NL L00
- Rimmel Cocktail Passion (for coral dots)
- Essence Movie Star (for grey outlines)
- Clear top
- Light blue rhinestones
Thank you for reading, and I see you soon ♥

Hello Ela :) and thank you! I’m glad you liked the look :)

I love leopard print AND Can’t Find My Czechbook AND definitely the way you combined them in your manicure :)
I’ve just ordered Vampire is a Buff! As you are saying, it seems to be a lovely base for nail art!
Thank you Ina :) I’m glad you liked the print and the nail look. I’m afraid I’ll end up buying Vampire too loll Now I’ll be looking to see your designs with it ;)
I absolutely love czechbook color :D if it was only cheaper here I’d definitely buy it
Czechbook is one of my favourite blues now. OPI polishes are quite expensive here too, so when buying them I’m trying to think about its quality, comfortable brushes and big 15 ml bottles. I like it that none of my OPIs have dried or thickened much :)
I can’t justify buying them, I have 3 of their polishes and all three chip on me within few hours so it would really be a waste of money, shame, color is really great
A few hours is not much. I remember once I talked to a girl, and she told me the same thing, so you are definitely not alone :) Usually OPI polishes stay ok on my nails, I guess it’s all about our nails chemistry..
Hummm… leopard prints aren’t original anymore? I for sure didn’t realize that lol because I still love it :) I very much love this manicure, it’s original :p kisses,
Cristina
lol thank you Cristina :) I said so because I see so many leopard print nails lately :)
