This is two coats, in bright, direct electric light.
I have to say, I'm actually a little disappointed with this one. While I can see the reddish gold in the bottle, I can't really see it on my nails, unless I shine a very bright light directly onto my nails. In most lights, it just looks brown. It's a nice brown, very rich and chocolatey and a bit shimmery, but I mostly can't see the red.
This is indoors in indirect light, and how the colour looks most of the time.
This is two coats of Germani-cure By Opi, with topcoat. I found that the first coat looked rather ugly - it was streaky and greyish looking, and quite thin. The second coat though was much better. I like this as a brown - as I said, it's rich and shimmery, and has a nice darkened quality round the edges. In bright lights it has some reddish gold shimmer, but it's not easy to see in general.
This is indoors in lowish light.
I didn't really like the formula with this one - I was surprised at how bad the first coat looked, I really didn't think it was up to OPI's usual standard. I do wonder whether I've just got a bit of a duff bottle...I also noticed that it peeled really quickly. Firstly when I was testing it out, it peeled within a couple of hours. Then when I wore it properly, I was very careful about having clean nails, and doing a good basecoat and so on, and it lasted all day at work before peeling off completely in the evening. I don't know if it's something I'm doing, or what...
This polish screams AUTUMN! at me, Its lovely.
