OPI Can't Find my Czechbook and OPI...Eurso Euro Comparison Swatches

Following on from my last post, I thought I'd do a comparison post so you can see whether or not you have any dupes for OPI Can't Find my Czechbook and OPI...Eurso Euro.

First some bottle comparisons for Can't Find my Czechbook.


I suggest zooming in on this photo! L-R is China Glaze Sea Spray, Nubar Faded Jeans, OPI Czechbook, butter London Artful Dodger, Dior St Tropez, China Glaze For Audrey, Chanel Nouvelle Vague and OPI Fly.


I thought Czechbook would be far more green/turquoise, but upon closer inspection it is much bluer.


As you can see it's dupe free in my collection, closest to Nubar Faded Jeans and butter London Artful Dodger. It is much brighter than the others I own.

Next is OPI...Eurso Euro


L-R is China Glaze Ride the Waves, Dior Blue Denim, OPI...Eurso Euro, Dior Blue Rebel and OPI Ski Teal We Drop


I got rid of Ski Teal We Drop as it was far too green. Dior Blue Denim was the closest match, but it has a full creme consistency whereas Eurso is half jelly, half creme. Ride the Waves is nothing like it and is too sheer. Blue Rebel is also too green. I don't have any other royal blues, but possible Revlon Royal or OPI Dating a Royal or Ogre the Top Blue might be in the same family? Let me know if you think you have a dupe in the comments.

  1. I am so ridiculously jealous of your nail polish collection! I've been getting Shellac done every 2.5 weeks but at $40 a pop, it's not cheap! have you tried doing shellac at home? Easy/hard or am I better off just continuing to pay someone who knows what they are doing?

    1. That is very nice of you to say! Wow, $40 does sound like a lot - I've never had Shellac done, nor have I tried it myself (I'm too fickle, constantly changing colours). I have watched a couple of Orly Smart Gel shows on TVSN though and from the looks of it it seemed pretty simple, just that it had a few steps involved. The only difference between regular polishing seemed to be that you just put you hand under the LED light after each coat. Removal is more difficult then normal, but in the pack they included a buffer, remover and little bags with foam in them to make it easier. I hope that helps you a little!
