Today I am finally posting the Second half of O.P.I's Germany Collection for Fall 2012. In this half we have some epic shimmers. Mark my words! These will be the polishes that become VVHT in the future... So get em now while they are in stores. Three colors in particular really stand out to me in this portion: Germanicure, Every Month is Oktoberfest and Deustch you Want me Baby? They are seriously beautiful and perfect for Fall. [HERE] is the first half of the collection.
O.P.I Every Month is Oktoberfest!
Gahhhhh!! Are you seriously serious?! Ok So, if Clarins 230, MaxFactor Fantasy Fire O.P.I BlackCherry Chutney all got together and had a love-baby you would get Every Month is Oktoberfest! This polish embodies all that is perfect and beautiful for Fall. A deep inky shimmery base laced with micro copper/golden shimmer. I love the darkened edges when on the nail and how it glows in the sun. The formula on this color is really nice, maybe even sheer enough to be layered (have yet to try it). For my swatch I used Three easy coats.
O.P.I German-icure
German-icure is the Copper toned sister of Every Month is Oktoberfest. This shade is the first Copper shade I have ever truly enjoyed. The shimmer in this polish has a very glowy quality and the darkened edges when on the nail. I am all about this lovely micro-shimmer right now. I used Three coats of this shade.
O.P.I Deutsch you want me Baby?
This did not photograph right. It is not quite this vivid of an Orange. I would call it a Burnt Orange with Coppery undertones, DYWMB? is also rocking the micro shimmer, this time in Orange and Golden. Very Fall, totally gorgeous! This shade also has a great formula and does best in Two coats.
O.P.I Danke-Shiny Red
Danke-Shiny Red is a lovely, metallic Candy Apple Red. This Red is packed with shimmer and the formula is so perfect, it could almost do with One coat. I did Two for my photos. The only way I'm a fan of Red is when they are this amazing!
O.P.I Unfor-Greta-Bly Blue
Unfor-Greta-Bly Blue is a jewel-toned metallic Blue with just the slightest Green undertones. This is a pretty shade but with such amazing shades in this collection, this one feels a little flat to me. I used Two coats for my swatch, formula-wise it is a great polish.
O.P.I Suzi And The 7 Dusseldorfs
Suzi And The 7 Dusseldorfs is a medium, Red toned Purple shimmer. There is a hint of Blue shimmer in the base. It is a really pretty color, but much like the Blue shade it falls a bit flat for me. It's pretty but I think my standards were set waay to high by the first three shades in this post and even some of the cremes!
I am a huge fan of this entire collection and I am hereby placing it under my Epic WIN tab. Those shimmers!! Seriously guys! Get them now while they are readily available! Colors like German-icure and Every Month is Oktoberfest are the colors that keep us talking for years. They will become classics, I can feel it :D. I love the range of colors and variety in this collection, there is something for everyone. I am so glad I am around for these colors and that I actually have them!!! You guys know what I mean right (Hello Mad as a Hatter)? I shall cherish them for ever!
Which are your favorites?

I am thinking your prediction is right about some of these becoming coveted vhtfs.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about Glitter Goblin right now, three backups says I think so.
I am torn, these seem very traditional to me. You are convincing me to push the button on one of these though. I am sure you could guess which one pretty easily.
Okay, okay, you talked me into German-I cure ;). I keep thinking DYWMB? looks like CG Riveting. Am I bonkers, or is it similar? Forgive me if this has already been mentioned!
ReplyDeleteOuch, I just fell in love with the first amazing polish!
ReplyDeleteAll of these look great on you! You have such nice swatches!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with Every Month is Oktoberfest!

ReplyDeleteI got the 3 must-have polishes you mentioned and swatched them and fell in love last week and decided I need to go back to complete my collection because this collection felt like a winner! And anyways, the blue and purple shimmers looked pretty and I don't have any :)
