OPI German-icure By OPI

Kada su 2012. godine počele da se pojavljuju prve slike OPI kolekcije inspirisane Nemačkom, opštu pažnju su privukli Every Month is Oktoberfest i Germanicure By OPI. Tada nismo znali da su blogeri koji su ovu kolekciju dobili da prikažu imali pogrešno označena ova dva laka i nedeljama smo mislili da je mastiljavac pun šimera German-icure, a raskošni braon-crveni šimer da je EMiO. Zabuna je razrešena, ja sam nabavila onaj lak koji mi je bio zanimljiviji (EMiO) i život se nastavio svojim tokom. Prošle nedelje sam naletela na nekoliko zaboravljenih primeraka German-icure-a i pošto su bili na rasprodaji odlučila sam da jedan od njih ponesem kući. Još uvek ih možete naći u Prima apotekama po ceni od 700 dinara.

When first images of OPI Germany collection started to appear, two polishes drew all the attention - Every Month is Oktoberfest and German-icure By OPI. At that time we didn't know that bloggers received these two polishes mislabeled and for weeks we thought that the inky one filled with shimmer is German-icure and that rich brown-reddish shimmer is EMiO. The confusion was sorted out, I got the one I found more interesting (EMiO) and the world kept on spinning. However, last week I found several German-icures on sales so I finally got myself one.

German-icure By OPI (NL G19) je lak tamne baze ispunjen bakarno-crvenim šimerom. Baza je prozračna, a šimer je prilično izdašan i veoma raskošan. Meni sam lak najviše naginje na braon, što je i glavni razlog zašto sam ga izbegavala. Pigmentacija mu je osrednja i potrebna su mi bila tri sloja da dobijem ravnomernu pokrivenost. Suši se brzo. Završnica mu je glatka, baršunasta, bez visokog sjaja. Slike su snimljene na dnevnom svetlu. Imam tri sloja laka i nemam nadlak.

German-icure By OPI (NL G19) is a dark-based polish filled with coppery-red shimmer. Base is sheer and shimmer is abundant and very luxuriant. The overall colour is too brown-leaning for my taste, which is the reason I've been avoiding it in the first place. Pigmentation is not that strong and it took me three thin coats to get even coverage. Drying time is fast. Finish is smth, velvety, without high gloss. Photos were taken in natural light. I have three coats of polish and no top coat.

5. OPI Muir Muir On The Wall

Od svih OPI lakova koje imam koji u bočici možda izgledaju slično, jasno je da je German-icure sa najbogatijim šimerom. Po pigmentaciji mu je najsličniji Muir Muir On The Wall, ali se njih dvojica veoma razlikuju po boji. Po boji mu je najsličniji Royal Rajah Ruby, ali šimer u njemu nije ovoliko upadljiv. Black Cherry Chutney i Every Month is Oktoberfest su vidljivo različiti, ali EMiO i German-icure u bočici izgledaju isto jer im je šimer isti. Bazna boja im se razlikuje. Od svega što imam u kolekciji, ovom laku je najsličniji Cuccio Beijing Night Glow, ali on je malo svetliji i ima još više šimera od German-icure.

OPI German-icure By OPI - Cuccio Beijing Night Glow

It is clear that German-icure differs from all OPI of polishes I have that may look similar in the bottle and that it has the most shimmer. In teerms of pigmentation, the closest is Muir Muir On The Wall, but they are nowhere close when it comes to colour. Colourwise, the closest one is Royal Rajah Ruby, but it doesn't have this prominent shimmer. Black Cherry Chutney and Every Month is Oktoberfest are notably different, with EMiO and German-icure looking almost the same in the bottle because they have the same shimmer. It is the base that sets them apart. Out of everything I have in my collection, the closest thing to this polish is Cuccio Beijing Night Glow, but that one is a bit lighter and with even more shimmer than German-icure.
