Red and Gold

I had some time to kill so I decided to update my German-icure manicure :-)  I grabbed some scotch tape and some gold shimmery polish ( I used OPI Glitzerland) and went at it.  To get the straight lines I used the scotch tape.  If you're going to use it make sure you take some of the stickiness out before you put it on your nail, otherwise it will ruin your base colour.  You can either stick it on your palm a couple of times, or what I decided to do which was stick it on my jeans once or twice.  I want to do this one again with different colours.  I like the red and gold but it reminds me a little of Christmas ... all in all not exactly a bad thing. 

Base: OPI German-icure

In need of a German-icure

Another colour from OPI's German collection.  Looking at the bottle I didn't think I'd like this one but I was totally wrong.  It's a great dark brownish-orangeish-redish colour.  It's a nice thick formulation, two coats were all I needed.  In natural light I find it looks more red, but indoors you can catch more of the brown/orange tones in the colour. A great fall/winter colour.

Please ignore the super short nail on my ring finger ... there was an unfortunate accident while I was cutting onions.  eeek.

Indoor light - you can see more of the orange and brown here
