Name: German-icure
Collection: Germany 2012
Colour: Plum Shimmer with Copper Undertones
Coats: 2
Pros: The first coat is a dark, frosty grape colour which was surprising because in the bottle this polish is more copper than purple. This is a great quality, long lasting polish with a beautiful shimmery sheen and no streaks.
Cons: Although I do like this colour, I wasn’t really happy with how different this polish looked on my nails versus how it looked in the bottle.
Similar Shades: This shade is really similar to “Vampsterdam” and “Every Month is Oktoberfest”
I am trying out a new nail shape that is more pointed; however, they are more rounded here.

Name: Danke-Shiny Red
Collection: Germany 2012
Colour: Rich, Rosy Red with Frosty Finish
Coats: 2
Pros: I know it’s a bit early but this polish’s lovely, frosty red that is perfect for the upcoming holiday season. The deep red with rosy undertones makes your nails look like ripe berries on a holly branch. I had no problem applying this polish and any bits on the side came off without any hassle or staining. I chose to say two coats for this polish because although it comes out as a gorgeous pinky red after one coat, it barely lasted an hour before it chipped away.
Cons: Unfortunately, it’s really flakey at the tips.
Similar Shades: Danke-Shiny Red is very similar to “Cha-Ching Cherry” but has just a bit more red in it.
