Euro Centrale by OPI #Giveaway

By

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

It’s been a looong time since I did any sort of giveaway bash or gift guide. Truth is, as much as I love product reviews, I find my connection to readers is stronger when I select the content for my blog on my own terms. Sometimes, that means talking about my son’s knack for photo bombing, and often, I rant about how good US shoppers have it.

But, I always make an exception. 

And, I can’t think of two better brands to make that exception for. Giveaway enthusiasts, rejoice – it’s officially OPI and Nicole by OPI Week at Listen to Lena! I’ve teamed up with the world-famous Nail Polish empires to kick off 2013 with a BANG – by giving away FIVE entire collections.

Love nail polish? Love on-trend lacquers that are heavily-pigmented and super rich, long-lasting and chip-resistant? Then you’re at the right place! Read on friends – here’s your chance to win OPI’s Euro Centrale Collection for Spring/Summer 2013.

“Classic meets contemporary with Euro Centrale by OPI for Spring/Summer 2013. Celebrating a region where history meets modern design, the collection’s twelve new nail lacquers offer a mixture of glamorous metallic hues; playful bright shades in periwinkle, aqua and pink; and creamy blues in indigo, midnight and aubergine.”

Euro Centrale by OPI includes the following shades:

Polka.com – Blue and violet are dancing partners in this glittery combo.
OPI…Eurso Euro – This deep blue cream is very continental.
Suzi’s Hungary AGAIN! – Thank goodness there are zero calories in this warm and yummy pink!
You’re Such a BudaPest – If I let you borrow this periwinkle-purple, will you go away?
Can’t Find My Czechbook – I hope you take credit, because I must have this aqua!
My Paprika is Hotter than Yours! – Get the extinguisher…this fiery red is sizzling!
Hands Off My Kielbasa! – Get your own…this bronzy tan is all mine!
OY–Another Polish Joke! – So this shimmery-gold walks into a bar…
A Woman’s Prague-ative – I’m changing this shimmery copper for…never mind!
Vant to Bite My Neck? – You know you want to…wear this deep eggplant.
I Saw…U Saw…We Saw…Warsaw – Be seen in this deep midnight blue.
My Vampire is Buff – Creamy, pale and nude…just how I like my vampires.

I had a chance to try out You’re Such a BudaPest, Hands Off My Kielbasa!, OY–Another Polish Joke! and Can’t Find My Czechbook. Now the truth is, my finger nails are dreadful thanks to OCD and a nail-biting habit I should have grown out of about 20 years ago. So, I’ve set the polishes aside for flip-flop and peep-toe weather this summer. But I am exceptionally excited for Can’t Find My Czechbook – I’ve been looking for creamy aqua shade for the longest time, and baby, this is IT.

(For in depth swatches of the entire Euro Centrale collection head over to Beautezine, my favourite way to spend 10 minutes looking at shiny, pretty things.)

The Euro Centrale collection will be available February 6, 2013 at Professional Salons and spas for $10.95 CAD. As always, OPI nail lacquer contains no DBP, Toluene, or Formaldehyde – and with their exclusive ProWide Brush, you’ll always experience the ultimate in application. Click here to visit OPI.

    Suzi’s Hungary AGAIN caught my eye right away – I love pink polish! I saw someone post a pic with You’re Such a BudaPest on their nails and it looked so pretty! Thanks for the amazing giveaway! :)

  27. jas starry

    I love You’re Such a BudaPest caz that shade brings out the best in my nails\m/!!thanq for this giveaway!!

  28. Mandy

    Can’t Find My Czechbook is soo pretty!! I also mostly only paint my toenails because playing with my kids and cleaning/cooking I always chip my fingernails within the first day. If I do my fingernails I like a pale or natural color..something like Hands Off My Kielbasa. But I love doing my toenails bright and funky colors in the summer..FUN! :)

  54. Michelle willetts

    Love them all, too hard to choose but Vant to bite my neck would look great with polka.dot com :)

  56. Kim

    I love You’re Such A BudaPest. I have been looking for something like this – such a pretty spring lilac colour.

  59. Anne Taylor

    I love the I Saw…U Saw…We Saw…Warsaw – because its such a gorgeous shade of blue! I’ve always loved blue nail polish!

  61. MissT

    Hands Off My Kielbasa! First of the name made me LOL and I love Kielbasa its always in my home since I’m half eastern European. Plus this shade is very outfit friendly would go with a lot of looks.

  76. Carol

    I Saw… U Saw… We Saw… Warsaw. Whew that was fun to say. That’s one reason I like it but the main reason is because I have a thing for deep rich blues.

  77. Erin

    My FAV color from the new collection is “Vant to bite my neck?” I love purples, & my cousin is getting married next month & they chose purple & grey as their colors!

  92. Jennifer

    polka.com is my favorite shade…because I love glitter, especially as an accent nail or on my tips!

  99. Sandra O

    Can I love all of them?!? Gorgeous colours…..I guess I would pick My Paprika is Hotter than Yours!

  106. Jennifer Abbott

    I’d pick A Woman’s Prague-ative why? because its a woman’s prerogative to change her mind. :)

  108. Jen

    Suzy’ Hungary again! Totally reminds me of my grandmother. She had such a Funky fashion sense, love it!

  111. Heidi Lindsay

    Vant to bite my neck is a great colour but they are all great. would love to win this for my daughter!

  117. Christy Martin

    Hands Off My Keilbasa! I think it is the closest colour to the shade that sold me on OPI. It is fairly universal and I can wear it year round.

  123. Jennee

    I saw…You saw…We saw…Warsaw.
    Navy is my new black, at least for nails. Something about the midnight blue just isn’t as harsh as the black is!

  126. Olivia L

    I like I Saw…U Saw…We Saw…Warsaw. I don’t have any dark blue nail polishes and this is such a lovely deep shade.

  131. drpaskall

    I love OPI, and as a stay at home Mom, I have lots of spare time on my hands to do my own nails, they aren’t long, but nice, and I love painting them beautiful shades!
    They are all stunning, but I really like Hands Off My Kielbasa, looks like a gorgeous color!
    Cheers! :)

  133. stacey dempsey

    I like Susans Hungary Again , I just love all shades of pink nail polish and I find that it is a shade that goes with everything and can be used for casual or dressy

  134. Colleen Natarelli

    A Womans Prague-ative is my favorite shade! Just love the color, it will go with so much of my wardrobe!

  141. Samantha

    Tough call! I’m torn between Hands of my Kielbasa and Can’t find my Czech book. The colours look amazing (think they’d go nicely together too) and such fun names. They all have fun names. I like the blue ones too.

  142. Anu Chopra

    I love the Polka.com – Blue and violet are dancing partners in this glittery combo. It’s a fun combo for going out to parties!

  143. MyBitsandBleeps

    I love: Suzi’s Hungary AGAIN! – Because I love pink! (can you tell? – just check out my logo)

  150. Lori-ann Betteley

    love these new colours! I think the you such a BudaPest jumps out at me a little more than the others so I would save it’s my favorite. But I would love to try them all!

  152. Tracy

    You’re such a budha-pest. I love it, it matches my wedding colours! Would be the perfect colour to compliment my wedding.

  273. Lee Pearson

    Oh, this collection is so pretty. My favourite shade from this collection is Suzi’s Hungary AGAIN! I would either wear it alone or add a coat of Polka.com on top to add a touch of sparkle.

  304. Marie

    All of these shades are extremely gorgeous but I specially love Hands Off My Kielbasa! and Polkadot.com

  305. Jules A.

    Hands Off my Kielbasa! Besides the awesome name, this polish would be the one I’d wear most often. I like a pretty neutral for my fingers.

  308. Zara Alexis

    I just adore “Eurso Euro!” The deep blue cream colour is rich and would go great with my skin tone. I’ve always been attracted to light, neutral colours, but have noticed a recent change in my style with the darker ones. Just adore the whole collection, really, but who can resist when it’s nail polish?!?

    Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

  335. Kathryn

    I love Can’t Find My Czechbook and polka.com because blues are my favorite polishes to collect, and that’s an original glitter!

  340. Amanda

    My Vampire Is Buff – it is a fantastic neutral that looks great on it’s own or would look good paired with almost any colour!

  376. Ashley B

    Czechbook is my favourite in the collection. I love blue nailpolishes, and I have an abundance of dark shades – no pretty light ones. And Czehbook is SO pretty!!! (Also, having to spell it taught me how to spell Czech! Hoorah!)

  379. Andrea

    my paprika is hotter than yours because I am drawn to reds and pinks the most and i think this one would look awesome on my toes lol

  412. Nancy T

    You’re such a Budapest! I love purple and the light shade of this one would work for me and my 2 girls (yes I’d even share with them) :)

  418. Chantelle Muise
