Ok, so, apparently the names of ‘German-icure by opi’ and ‘Every month is oktoberfest’ on my (and everyone else who was at the swedish press event) bottles had been switched, but I have edited my posts now so they show the correct names. Every month is oktoberfest is the super pretty one!
My Very First Knockwurst
Schnapps Out Of It! (awful color, but awesome formula… like a one-coater!)
Nein! Nein! Nein! Ok Fine! (dries darker than the color in the bottle)
Suzi & The 7 Düsseldorfs
Unfor-Greta-Bly Blue
Every Month Is Oktoberfest (!!! this one is sooooo pretty)
The second part of OPI’s Germany collection for fall. I like these colors as well, with the exception of ‘Scnapps out of it’ that’s just… ugly. Formula was great on these too.
This might not be the most exciting collection, but I think it serves it purpose well as a fall collection, and after my visit to Berlin I actually think they picked nice colors for being inspired by Germany. If you’re only going to get one color out of this collection, let it be ‘Every Month Is Oktoberfest’ because it is SO beautiful, doesn’t look like much in the bottle but once on the nail it’s really pretty.

Berlin There Done That
Danke-Shiny Red
Deutsche You Want Me Baby

Don’t Talk Bach To Me
German-icure by OPI
First part of opi’s germany collection. At first, I wasn’t impressed by these colors, but they’ve grown on me. Now that I have tried half of them, and the swedish summer is so gloomy you easily get into an autumn mood, I realize these are great and beautiful colors for autumn. Oh, and the formula? Awesome. Most of these only needed two coats, but I did three and they all went on smoothly.

If You Moust You Moust
Nothin’ Mousie ’bout it (over If you moust you moust)
The Color Of Minnie (a little bit of shimmer in it)
I’m All Ears
Opi Vintage Minne Mouse Collection. This collection makes much more sense than the spiderman. The formula is standard OPI (i.e. it’s good or great) and the colors are pretty. It can be a bit tricky to apply the heart shaped glitter but otherwise these are very easy to paint with. My favorite is I’m all ears, I don’t know why but I love these kind of colors!

Call Me Gwen-Ever
Your Web or Mine?
Number One Nemesis
My Boyfriend Scales Walls
Just Spotted The Lizard
Into The Night
OPI spiderman collection. You can tell by the quality of the swatches that I didn’t like this collection. Yeah, I’m like that, the less I like the collection the less I care about the photos. I’m sorry OPI, but what where you thinking? Your web or mine is just awful, and btw, I thought these were supposed to be the brights of this year? Also, the formulas were ok but I would expect more from opi, you can do so much better than this, both regarding formula AND colors! Well, the white one was a pretty good white, and just spotted the lizard is a cool duochrome. That’s about it. SON, I AM DISAPPOINT.

Finally the last 3 of the holland collection. I did not save the best for last.
Gouda gouda two shoes. A warm dusty pink/beige with golden shimmer.
Wooden shoe like to know? A dusty brown with golden shimmer.
Vampsterdam. Ok, maybe it’s not a true frost bit still a terrible finish. It feels very outdated.
You can see the rest of the collection here
Did you ‘ear about Van Gogh? A greyish beige/clay kind of color. Pretty standard but nice.
Kiss me on my tulips. An intense pink creme, I love it!
Red lights ahead… where? Of course they had to reference the red lights district. I’m surprised they did not have a brown called space cake or something. Heh. Frankly, I don’t like when everyone associate Holland with whores and drugs. Aaanyway, this is a nice orange red, really bright.

Thanks a windmillion. A light green greyish creme. I had a litte bit of trouble with this one, as you can have with light cremes, but nothing too serious.
A roll in the hague. An orange creme/jelly something. You just can’t have a holland collection without a good orange .D
Dutch’ya just love OPI? Dark purple with goldish shimmer, just a little bit more visible than one of those hidden shimmers.Hopefully I will have the rest of holland swatched before the weekend is over!

I learned something the other day – don’t try to swatch 12 polishes in a few hours. It just won’t turn out good. But the 3 first turned out ok. All but the first is without top coat.
Pedal faster Suzi! It’s a light pink with silver specks/flecks/glitter. The super girly girl in me just loves this one. It’s just so… CUTE! This is 3 layers, it was a tiny bit sheer, but nothing I had troubles with.
I don’t give a Rotterdam! A light muted blue with the same silver particles as in pedal faster suzi. 3 layers, good formula.
I have a herring problem. Almost the same color as the prevouis but a bit more green/warm, it also has a bit more golden shimmer. 3 layers, good formula on this one as well.

Yesterday I attended the press release for OPIs spring collection, Holland. I just want to say that I love OPIs press releases. They always try to do a bit extra and I really appreciate that. I like when companies realise how much these things matters.
During the event I was able to get some crappy pics of the Niki Minaj collection and the two new DS polishes.
I haven’t really decided what I think about the Holland collection yet, but I guess I will when I have swatched them all. For now, here are some bottle pics!
Red lights ahead… where?
