Opi Germany collection for Fall Winter 2012 : Part 1

Germany!

After Holland, Touring America, Texas, Swiss, Hong Kong,... This year's OPI regional release is Germany. Without further ado, let's see what the first half of the collection looks like, shall we?

Don't Pretzel my Buttons is  a very light nude with a warm beige tint. I was afraid it would clash with my skintone but it actually is very nice and soft looking. I used 2 coats for complete even coverage but I was very careful with application, i.e. you might need a third one.

  

My Very First Knockwurst is a pink version of Don't Pretzel my Buttons : warm, nude, creme with a soft touch and a pink, almost lavender, tint. I'm also surprised by how much I like it on me. Formula was also very similar with a 2 to 3 coat coverage. Two careful coats plus topcoat here.

Berlin There Done That is a light warm taupe with a purple hue. It's a tad warmer in real life than it looks here. I'm really loving how delicate it is, perfect for Fall. Formula was pretty much OPI standard, nice and thin with a true 2 coats coverage.

Don't Talk Bach to Me is a very unusual muted chartreuse green with a subtle silver shimmer running through. It definitely is one of those "fugly" colors that the mainstream customers will not be attracted to but I am haha. I also had to use 2 careful coats here.

Schnapps Out of It is a very hard color to describe : burnt orange, almost terracotta with some faded pink, definitely warm and rich and with a fine silver shimmer. It calls for Fall and it's a very nice change after all of the tangerine oranges released this year. Formula was perfect, smooth and even, almost a one coater. I applied two coats for more depth and complete coverage.

Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine! is a very dark grey creme with a very strong green tint. Depending of the lighting, it will look either grey or green but never black. Formula was really nice and required 2 coats for full opacity.

Overall :

I'm really loving this first half of the collection but I couldn't say that I'm crazy about them. They're all beautiful Fall appropriate shade though. If I had to pick a favorite, it would definitely be Schnapps Out of It.

I can't wait to share with you the second half of the collection! Did you pick any of these? How do you fell about them?
