Berlin There Done That
A great neutral taupe cream. Formula is very nice and smooth although a bit sheer to start with. I needed three coats for full coverage. No top coat in the swatches...

Danke-Shiny Red
A nice metallic red with a red shimmer. Great formula with full coverage in just two coats. It tends to darken toward the edges of the nail. I believe this is nearly identical to Zoya Elisa from the fall collection. Swatches are with no top coat...

Deutsche Want Me Baby
A burnt orange shimmer. Two coats for full coverage and the formula is great. I am crazy about this color. I thought I would never say that about an orange polish, but OPI has got me saying it twice with both this polish and Luxurious for the DS collection. Something about it just makes me crave a pumpkin scone. Anyone else get that or just me? Swatches are without a top coat...

Don't Pretzel My Buttons
A soft beige cream. Nice formula with full coverage in just two coats. This may sound silly, but sometimes a color as "boring" as beige can make me feel sophisticated. Maybe because it is so close to my skin color and it seems to lengthen and extend the fingers. I love it even more in person than on these swatches. Again, no top coat here...

Don't Talk Bach to Me
A chartreuse, leaning toward yellow with a slight shimmer. It is the silvery shimmer that makes this unique. I'm always scared of this color and never expect to like it, but somehow it always surprises me. This has a nice formula. I used three coats for the swatches here, although a careful two would have been enough to cover the nail line. No top coat...

Every Month is Oktoberfest
A dark vampy plum with a strong shimmer. The base of this is blue and is most evident on the first coat. By the second coat it is all darkness. I had a hard time capturing the shimmer in my swatches and I blame my nails. You see they have no curve whatsoever. If anything they curve slightly up at the tips. I have obviously learned to live with it, but a polish like this just begs for curved nails. On my flat nails it falls flat (especially in swatches). In real life it still glows as it catches the light...
To show the gorgeous shimmer, I snapped a few pics outside, where the shimmer didn't stand a chance of hiding. So pretty, I could wear it year round...
