It’s another stop on the OPI world tour!
Earlier this year, I took y’all through the streets of Holland, where shades like “Thanks a Windmillion” and “A Roll in The Hague” instantly developed a cult-like following. This time, OPI embraces runway trends with the Germany Collection for Fall/Winter 2012. Drawing inspiration from Berlin, an exciting new fashion hub that blends classic looks with the avant-garde, the collection’s twelve shades offer a mixture of vibrant color, urban-chic neutrals, and reds in variations from light to dark. The collection won’t be available until August 8th, so consider this your sneak peek!
According to Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director, “The overall feel of the Germany Collection is elegance with an edge.” Not hard to dispute, with rich colours, standout shades and creamy neutrals in honey, taupe and nude rose. But the standout shade for me has to be “Don’t Talk Bach to Me” – a sassy lime-yellow that has the perfect Euro-vibe.
Here’s the lowdown on the shades:

A haute honey-beige that can always make you smile.

…and what a magical rosy-nude rendezvous it was!
Berlin There Done That

I dont have an exact favorite family of colours because I often vary between a lot of them depending on my mood :)
I love nudes because they make me look a bit more tan since I am more on the pale side! and I love brights not just in the summer but all year round, they just make me happy :)
xx
I like bright colours. They look good on me.
I love the cool toned purples and blues. They just make me happy
I love ALL colours of polish…I really do! If I had to pick though it would be simple nudes because they tend to stay looking fab longer. However, I’m not afraid of colour in the least! Colour is fun and just means doing a manicure more often…win, win!
I love them all!!! There so pretty !
Love OPI.
Purples because they are classy and always look good with my skin tone ;-)
anything cool toned, I love blues
purples and glitter
I like pinks for myself. Simple and girly, and not too harsh for my pale skin tone!
I’m loving these colours!
I love purples! I think they look prettiest on my nails;)
Love the nudes. sometimes i like the subtle looks on the nails rather than the bright and bold!
I like nudes. Looks neat!
I love purples as it is my favourite colour. I tend to gravitate towards those shades most.
I like brights best.
I like brights on my toes, but neutrals on my fingers.
I have a hard time picking a favorite family. I love mixing and matching. I guess I tend to favor shimmery and sparkly families.
These colours in the Germany Collection look amazing!
I’m loving the purple hues as they are the perfect shade to wear this Winter!
I love pinks or other very girly colours!!!
I love coral colours!
i love all the bright colours for toes especially.. why not have fun with it !!
It depends on the occasion. I wear nudes for work, but I like the metallics when I go out.
I love nude colours because they match with anything!
metallics
I wear all different shades of colours really, but I tend to go for brighter, funkier ones because they can really spruce up any outfit!
I really like the reds for my toes and the nudes for my fingers
I love lilac and so does my mother. They colour is just so pretty. We always get compliments on that colour when we wear it on our nails.
I love bright, unexpected colours like blue and green.
Reds and darks. Something to sparkle through the dull days!
nudes
I like shades of pinks, “Berlin there done that” looks nice, maybe I am a bit conservative sometimes…but occasionally I even do glitter!
purple because its my favorite color
Like darker colours, don’t think the light shades look good on me
I think red nails are hot.
I love all the funky unique colors, I’m always changing the color on my nails – my toenails are painted all summer & I’m constantly on the lookout for another great color. Currently, my favs are teals and blues, goes with most of my summer clothes!
I like the spring colours, soft pastels, beachy hues.
I like blues and purples.
Pinks just because I like the colour
I love them all, but lately have been wearing solid, bold colors like red, black, brown.
I love glitters because of the flash… and they hide a multitude of sins. (uneven nails, sloppy application etc) lol!
I feel like nudes go very well with my skin tone
I like the pinks bc thy are cute
Purples! They are classic.
PINKS!!! Definately pink because you can go from soft and powdery to bold and bright.
I love the pink colors :)
I like blues and purples, shimmery if possible!
I like bold, deep colours like burgundy and navy because I like how they look on my fingers and they’re a little different.
rafflecopter name: Lisa K
Love metallic pinks and burgandies.
Because they look best on me!
I like light colors like pinks and whites and pale blues, but my teenage duaghter will go bold and dark colors and patterns lol so in our house everything goes
I like nude or the soft colors why because I’m to old to wear the sparkly stuff:)
I love shades of blue – not sure WHY, I just do :)
I love purples and blues. They seem edgy and fresh, and seem to be easier to find shades that go well with the colour of my skin.
I love the pinks! Makes me feels so bright and cheery.
I love metallics. They add glamour to casual outfits and rock glam to feminine ones.
Nudes — they look clean and sophisticated
It’s really hard to say because I love colors in general. Reds are number because of the vintage/retro feel. Think of the red lips and nails in old black and white movies.
melodyj(at)gmail(dot)com
Like with everything else, it changes…I like silvers at the moment! :D
my fav is the hot pinks and fuschias because they are bright and fun and spunky!
i always buy light purples and light pinks. for christmas though, a bright red is my fave :)
For Summer I love brights, neon brights! If you’re showing off toes, they should sing! For the Fall/Winter I like classics, reds or nudes.
Thanks, Lisa

Really tough to choose whether reds or metallics are my favourite as they are all so beautiful but I guess if I had to choose one I would go for the reds.

I love blues because I love the ocean!
PURPLES!!!!! Why? Are there really any other colours???
I love nudes because they go with everything
I love the German-icure by OPI “burgundy” and Schnapps Out of “blues & mauves” tones. Just like a good wine – color enhances everything. Same APPLIES to nail polishes the deeper the color – the more vivacious you feel and look !

I like nudes for my fingernails, because they don’t show the chips as much and are less maintenance. For my toes I like bright colors – tangerine, bright purple, etc.
Purples, my absolute fave!
It really depends on my mood, most of the time I like nudes… but sometimes a splash of color is exactly what I need.
I like nudes on my fingers and bright bold fun colours on my toes. I don’t know why that is.
I love metalics – can’t live without them. Lately I’m addicted to anything with the gun metal tones
I usually stick to bright pinks and coral colours for summer and darker plums and reds for winter.

It all depends on where I paint my nails. I like darker colours such as purples and reds on my toes, especially in the summertime when I wear sandals. I love looking down at my pretty nail colours.
