OPI My Vampire Is Buff

OPI My Vampire Is Buff is a beautiful off-white creme from the recent Euro Centrale Collection. I received this as a birthday gift from my fellow Twinsie Kelly, who told me it was one of her favorite polishes. After wearing it myself, I can definitely see why! An off-white may not sound super exciting, but it's a surprisingly interesting, rich shade that makes even a girl like me, who's as pale and Irish as the day is long, look tan. I think it makes both a stellar base for nail art (I used it for just that purpose for last week's Twinsie Tuesday, in fact) or, as I hope my swatches will help convey, a gorgeous neutral to wear all on its own.



The formula is divine--smooth and not the least bit streaky--and covers in three coats. My Vampire Is Buff is a beautifully creamy shade that reminds me a lot of my beloved Lime Crime Milky Ways, another favorite off-white. Milky Ways may be a touch lighter, but the two polishes are definitely kissin' cousins, if not absolute dupes. The color is an excellent alternative for layering or nail art when you don't want something as stark as true white, but still need a clean, crisp base color.

  1. This is maybe my favorite neutral color. That hint of warm coloring keeps it from looking like correcting fluid when worn alone, and it's perfect for all sorts of nail art. Keep it in rotation forever, OPI!

    1. I think you summed up its appeal perfectly! I agree, this is absolutely a polish that needs to become part of OPI's core collection!

  2. One of the reasons I got this in the first place is because of the name, but the color is also really pretty. I haven't worn it yet though.

    1. It is definitely a great "workhorse" type of shade and one that can be used in an infinite variety of ways. I think it's worth splurging on!
