OPI Suzi & the 7 Dusseldorfs Swatches & Review

OPI Suzi & the 7 Dusseldorfs Swatches & ReviewOPI Suzi & the 7 Dusseldorfs doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue…haha! Thankfully, I keep nail polish far away from my mouth. 😉

This is another glowy polish from the OPI Germany Collection. If you’re a purple fan, you’ll probably like it. But if you have a collection of purples already, it may not ring terribly unique.

This jewel tone is the colour of royalty, and people with very different skin tones can pull this one off.

(Haha, and the name makes me laugh. It’s the German version of Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs, I think!) 😛

OPI Every Month Is Oktoberfest Swatches & Review

OPI Every Month Is Oktoberfest Swatches & ReviewWhen I heard of OPI Every Month Is Oktoberfest, I immediately thought of Oktoberfest sausages. (After eating meat again after having been a vegetarian for a few years, those were definitely on my to-eat list.)

This will be the 5th colour from the upcoming OPI Germany Collection that I’ve reviewed. (Stay tuned – I have one more colour to share with you.) 🙂

So far, I am really impressed with the OPI Germany Collection because even if the shades aren’t unique, I still think they have wonderful finishes. And the glowy polishes are a treat to wear.

Edit: So, apparently the bottles I received for OPI Every Month Is Oktoberfest and OPI German-icure by OPI had the wrong labels! This one should be OPI German-icure by OPI. If you want to see my review of OPI Every Month Is Oktoberfest, click here.

OPI Deutsche You Want Me Baby Swatches & Review

OPI Deutsche You Want Me Baby Swatches & ReviewOPI Deutsche You Want Me Baby is the red-orange from the upcoming Germany Collection!

Orange is a colour that years ago, I thought looked horrid on me. As a result, I didn’t dive into the nail-polish possibilities much.

Well, up went the curtains! Since maybe last year or so, I finally opened up to orange, and I like it a lot more than I thought.

Off the top, sides, and bottom of my head, I can’t think of another red-orange polish in my stash of 500+ bottles that’s quite like this.

Deutsche You Want Me Baby is yet another glowy polish from the OPI Germany Collection, and it’s very, very sexy. *Rawr* 😉

It looks even better in person than it does in my photos. In fact, a guy told me (out of the blue) that I should become a hand model when I was wearing this polish! Haha, I thought he was kidding, but he was being serious! (I could feel my cheeks were getting hot because that was definitely a first. My fingers are long and very skinny, so I’ve never thought they look nice. It made me feel so good hearing that…haha, but despite his compliments several times during the night about this, I can’t picture myself pursuing a career as a hand model. It makes me laugh! :P)

OPI Berlin There Done That Swatches & Review

OPI Berlin There Done That Swatches & ReviewCan you tell how enthusiastic I am about the OPI Germany Collection? Haha, here I am showing you yet another colour from it – OPI Berlin There Done That!

This isn’t a colour that I’m normally attracted to, but the polish fairies must’ve waved their wands above my head and blew their magic dust over my eyes because I was really feeling this one.

Probably my intrigue with this shade is because I don’t have many colours in my collection like this since I tend to go for loud shades. This one’s soft, but it’s not boring to me because it seems to look slightly different in various lighting. That’s enough to keep my interest!

It also makes for a wonderful ‘palate cleanser’ when you’ve been wearing tons of bright shades and need to take a break so that you don’t get burned out on them. Then, you can go back to wearing the screaming neons and appreciate them more.

China Glaze I’m with the Lifeguard Swatches & Review

China Glaze I'm with the Lifeguard Swatches & ReviewWant to turn heads? A neon lime green will do just that! 😉

I wore China Glaze I’m with the Lifeguard last week, and guys in particular would comment on how much they liked it.

This isn’t for the faint of heart. You have to want your nails to get attention if you use this. It’s very bright (but not the brightest neon green in my collection).

It reminds me of the colour of radioactive substances in cartoons I watched as a kid.

P.S. I want to wish all my lovely American blog readers a wonderful 4th of July! Hope that you’re having a great time celebrating with family and friends!

OPI Unfor-Greta-bly Blue Swatches & Review

OPI Unfor-Greta-bly Blue Swatches & ReviewToday I have another colour from the upcoming OPI Germany Collection that’s due out in August – OPI Unfor-Greta-bly Blue!

It’s been quite some time since I sported a blue on here it seems. About time, right?

This is what I’d describe as a Wonder-Woman-esque blue because it’s packs a powerful punch.

If you collect nail polish and have hundreds of bottles, this colour may not strike you as original. However, it’s still very pretty, and this is a wonderful blue to have if you don’t have something similar already.

Allow me to show you how it looks like in different lighting conditions and tell you more about the formula in detail!

OPI German-icure by OPI Swatches & Review

OPI German-icure by OPI Swatches & ReviewOPI German-icure by OPI is exactly the vampy shade I needed for a break from neons and bright shades.

You know that I’m still gaga for those, but it’s always fun to switch it up. Then, when you go back to wearing those fun, light-hearted shades, you appreciate them more.

German-icure by OPI has a cute, punny name that I appreciate. 🙂

This sexy siren hails from the OPI Germany Collection that is due out this August! I’m very grateful to be able to wear this colour and share it with you!

If this seductress could talk, German-icure by OPI would have a raspy voice and would star in a film-noir. I can also picture it being sprawled across a black grand piano while singing a breathy jazz song.

Edit: So, apparently the bottles I received for OPI Every Month Is Oktoberfest and OPI German-icure by OPI had the wrong labels! This one should be OPI Every Month Is Oktoberfest. If you want to see my review of OPI German-icure, click here.
