I’m sure you’ve all seen this shade over and over again, but OPI’s ‘Every Month is Oktoberfest’ from their Germany 2012 collection is so fabulous it really deserves yet another mention. I know I’ve said this before, but I really mean it this time – I’m gonna keep the words to a minimum and let the pictures do the talking.
Bottle shot
And lest you think I’m only showing you the best side of the polish with all the sunshine shots, here are a few pictures taken indoors – the glowy awesomeness is more subtle, but still visible!
What else needs to be said, right? SO. GORGEOUS. Two coats of easy flowing perfection. The sunlight shots are without top coat; pics in artificial light with. I want to wear this every day for the rest of my life. Or at least all fall/winter long. It’s just such a pretty yet vampy shade, ahhh!!! It’s 100% absolute LOVE.
Continuing with the minimal verbage – thoughts?

AHHHHHH. Every time I see this shade, I want it. Must stay away from Ulta!

You know I love it! I don’t love it as much as you do but it’s definitely going to get repeat wear this fall/winter. Enjoy it – it looks glorious against your skin tone!

Thanks Liz!! It’s one of those rare shades that looks great on dark skin and fair, because it looked stunning on you too

Oooh, soooooooooooooooooo pretty! I’m even more excited now because mine should arrive today:)) I have been so preoccupied with Hakuhodo’s new brush series lately that I completely forgot about the Germany collection. This is the only one I ordered though & if it looks half as good on my nails as it does on yours, I’ll be a happy girl!
#11 by Latoya on September 19, 2012 - 7:06 am
This is the only shade I picked up too, Buggsie!! Well worth it – you’re gonna LOVE it!!!!! However I’m desperately jealous of your Hakuhodo haul, I’m dying to get a few brushes but they’re going to have to wait a little longer

Footing the bills for your new condo will be taking a massive chunk out of your spending money but the new independance is worth it!! As Hakuhodo brushes aren’t limited ed they’ll be waiting for you when the time’s right. Oh, and how fortunate, ……Christmas is just around the corner:))
If my brushes would only arrive!! German customs is just anal.They’ve been sitting on my parcel for over 4 weeeks now.
I’m loving my polish though. When one holds it in the sun it really looks similar to the Clarins 230 ( without the green duochrome – which I wasn’t that fond of anyway ). Gorgeous!

I bought this polish for the name… but then I went to wear it and was AMAZED. I loooove this polish so much! It’s perfect for fall! Great swatches Latoya!!
#14 by Latoya on September 19, 2012 - 7:01 am
Thanks Alicia!! I bet this looks fantastic on you (you probably did some cool nail art with it too – must catch up on RSS feed!). It’s such a fabulous color, I can’t stop admiring it

#16 by Latoya on September 18, 2012 - 3:53 pm
I have NO doubt it will Amy, I can see it now!!! I can’t wait, be sure to show us!!!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I fell in love with this the instant I saw it, although my bottle has ‘German-icure by OPI’ on the label — I’ve asked my reps over & over again, and they keep on insisting that my labelling is correct, but I’m not sold (still waiting for an answer from OPI directly) — but I digress! This looks fabulous on you and your photos certainly do it justice! I have my nephew’s wedding at the end of this month, and I’m still undecided on one of my polishes … seeing your swatches made me just add this beauty to the list!
#18 by Latoya on September 19, 2012 - 6:52 am
Yours were the first swatches I saw of this shade Eugenia, and I went by you’re shade name initially before I saw it labelled otherwise on other blogs – so weird, eh? Anyway, this shade is just soo lovely, the richness is beyond measure. I can’t wait to wear it all season long!!
