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: Vampsterdam
Collection: Holland 2012
Colour: Deep Plum With a Hint of Shimmer
Coats: 3+
Pros: This is a great colour for a night out or to add a bold flair to your look. The polish went on nicely but it took three coats and touch-ups.
Cons: I was disappointed to find that after only one day this polish started to rub off. I also had this problem with the old OPI Suede collection.
Similar Shades: This is very similar to “Midnight in Moscow” or you can wear the infamous “Lincoln Park After Dark” that is similar but with more purple undertones instead of burgundy.
