OPI Can't Find My Czechbook Comparisons - No Dupe Here!

When I started seeing swatches of the new OPI Euro Centrale Collection, I loved the look of Can't Find My Czechbook, but I figured I had a dupe in my collection - it seemed so familiar.  At first site, I thought it was a tad darker than China Glaze For Audrey. I did some more research and found out that it was more blue than teal - so I decided to take the plunge and purchase it:)

I'm happy I took that plunge.  As soon as I got home I pulled out some of the colors I thought would be dupes and they were all too green/teal.  It was actually closer to Orly Blue Collar, which is a straight-up blue.  Can't Find My Czechbook is just more of a muted blue with a tiny bit more teal than Blue Collar.

I swatched a few more colors so you can see the differences between them.  I know some of them aren't even close, I just wanted to show you how it compares to some of the other colors you may have.

Hope this post helped in some way:)  Let me know if you think you have a dupe.  You may be surprised that you don't.

    I just realized your wheel swatches are the perfect ombre colours!

      Oh yes. It's far from the teal/mint polishes. Well, far in my opinion:)

    Thanks for the great post, this was really helpful. I think I'll be picking up this color.

    I noticed that you have OPI What's With The Cattitude, which has been a lemming of mine for a while. I was wondering if you knew of any dupes that are reasonably priced, because $30 on Amazon is a bit out of my price range!

    Again, great post! Super helpful! :)

      I will check in my stash and she what I have that is the closest to it. There are lots of people that want that polish so it would be great to find a dupe! I will do a comparison post.

      Thank you so much! I've read that China Glaze Bahamian Escape may be a dupe, but I would love to see a comparison post! You do such a great job with them! :)

    It has been nearly 2 years since this post....have you found a dupe for OPI What's With The Cattitude yet? It has been on my lemming list for a long time and I have had no luck getting it but would love to find a dupe until I can get my hands on it.
