I was waiting to see what OPI had up their sleeves for their Fall/Winter collections this year and as always they’ve created a variety of shades to compliment the upcoming seasons! This time around they used Germany as the theme of choice which includes 12 beautiful colors inspired by the country. Check out  swatches of the entire collection and my full review below.

Don’t Pretzel My Buttons
A haute honey-beige that can always make you smile.
Don’t Talk Bach to Me
There’s nothing mellow about this sassy lime-yellow!

Prost! Here’s to the prettiest plum in the Biergarten.

Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine!
A bodacious black-olive? We say “Ja! Ja! Ja!”


Glow: So, it’s very rare for me to truly love an entire collection but I actually like the majority of these shades. I love that they incorporated a variety of hues yet they all have warm tones that are very reminiscent of colors that we see throughout the fall/winter seasons. The nudes and deep shades are my favorites and the  standouts for me are Don’t Pretzel My Buttons which is a lovely honey-beige nude and also Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine! which is described as a black/olive but the olive tones don’t really reveal themselves with my complextion. I would describe it as more of a deep smokey grey. The color that took me by surprise the most is Every Month is Oktoberfest, it has a gorgeous shimmery purple undertone that really pops in the right lighting. I also noticed that the more coats you use it becomes more of a deep plum. If you prefer the purple tones then one coat is just enough to get it opaque and really noticeable. 

Glare: No cons, the formula was excellent as always. For each of the swatches above, I used a base coat and applied only 2 coats of polish. I did not use a top coat at all and as you can see OPI’s formula has a nice shiny finish on it’s own. (I rarely use topcoats when I’m swatching b/c I feel it’s wasteful if I plan on taking it right off) 
Would I Recommend It? I definitely think it’s a great collection, I have several favorites and I’m sure there are a few that catch your eye as well. So yes, I would!
