OPI German-icure

German-icure is a blackened red shimmer with brown undertones. It’s quite a vampy shade. It’s is also probably more appropriate for fall or winter. I used 2 coats. The application is very smooth. 

I swatched Every Month is Oktoberfest here. Germani-cure is very similar in texture and overall look. The only difference is that Oktoberfest is purple and German-icure is red/brown. 

Caution: Both polishes do not go well with Seche Vite top coat. Top coat starts chipping of immediately leaving the nail polish intact though.

Chanel Provocation Swatches and Review

Hi Ladies,

Today I’m showing you vampy Chanel Provocation from Fashion’s Night Out Limited Collection. It is sold with the matching lipstick, but it is too dark for my skin tone, so I skipped this one. 


Chanel Provocation is a deep wine shade with hints of cherry and burgundy. I can’t say that this color is unique, but I don’t have similar polishes; besides it is timeless and classy. If you are looking for the dupe, I think Zoya Toni looks close in the direct sunlight.


The application is great. I don’t always love Chanel’s brushes, 
but this one is perfect. On the other hand, people with bigger nails might find it too narrow. Polish dries fast and quite durable. I applied 2 coats for the full opacity, because the finish is somewhat between jelly and cream.
