Hello lovelies,

Sorry for the lack of posting, work has been absolutely crazy lately! I want to show you today the first shade from SpaRitual Rock collection for Fall 2012. You can read about the colours and inspiration behind the collection here. Interesting is that each polis is infused with Rhyolite (volcanic magma) from the Lipari Islands. The shade I'll show you is called Lithophonic.

I wanted to know what Lithophonic means so I did a little bit of research. Translator and Google didn't find anything but I found out that 'lithophone' is a musical instrument consisting of rock or rock pieces. So there is my sought after connection to this collection!

Lithophonic - dark green shimmer with earthy brown hues. It was really hard to describe this colour, just look at it! It's really strange shade with lots of shimmery particles in it. In the bottle, Lithophonic seems to be a bit duochrome but it does not show on the nail. The polish itself has a very good pigmentation and it's almost one-coater. I'm wearing two coats just to get the perfect coverage. It applied very easily and dried fast.  

Oh and you should really click on the pics and click once more to maximise them because Blogger ruined the quality :(  They look so much better when they were not compressed by Blogger.

Hello lovelies,

I'm back with the second half of the OPI Germany Collection. I always leave shimmers last because they are always prettier :) Well this time you have something to look forward to! There will be rich, bold jewel-like shades that I absolutely adore! So here we go:

Danke-Shiny Red - vibrant ruby red shimmer. This is absolutely stunning red, I think it will perfect for Christmas. I love reds and this one is just spot on for me. It applied really easily and dried very fast. The pigmentation is excellent, I could have been ok with one coat but the second coat added depth and made the shade slightly darker. The only thing I didn't like was very slight staining on my nails.

Deutsch You Want Me Baby? - reddish orange shimmer. It's a very 'fall' colour that certainly won't be everybody's cup of tea but I still think it's gorgeous! It applied flawlessly and the pigmentation is great as well. I've applied two coats because the nail line was still visible when wearing just one coat.

Every Month Is Oktoberfest - blackened plum purple with shimmer. This shade is a real chameleon. In one thin coat it is ink blue base with purple shimmer particles and in the sun the purple shows beautifully. In two coats the shade is very close to black. It applied very well and I'm wearing 2 coats even though one thicker coat would be enough.

German-icure By OPI - dark burgundy-brown shimmer. It's a shimmery vampy shade that leans more to brown than to burgundy. It has very good formula that applied smoothly. I needed two coats for a perfect coverage. When applying, be careful about streaking.

Suzi & The 7 Düsseldorfs - bold purple shimmer. It's a gorgeous red-toned purple that is REALLY hard to photograph :D I needed two coats for a full coverage.it applied easily but I had to pay attention because the polish is a bit streaky.

Unfor-greta-bly Blue - medium/dark blue shimmer. Oh I love this blue! It's rich, it's bold and it has great formula! I'm wearing two coats which are completely enough for a full coverage. It applied easily but again I had problem with streaks. It dried fast and removal was without problems.
