I love the application of OPI polishes and that they last for about a week without chipping.

This colour is a nice nude with a bit of a lilacy tinge which looks great in the bottle but not on my nails.
I've only worn it once and I didn't like it so I'm probably giving it away to a friend who might enjoy it.

I think everyone's pretty much summed this polish up. It's a lovely nude color that's just this side of cool. Most nude shades go gray or brown on me, but this one is just perfect. I'm very pale with pink undertones, and this color results in a perfect creme nude nail. Very clean and polished looking, and if you are concerned with such things, it makes your fingers and nails look longer, I didn't have high hopes by just seeing it in the bottle. I was afraid it would be another milky "white out" effect. It's not like that at all. It's one of those things that looks much better on, Best OPI color I've purchased in a long time. From the other posts, it appears it works for many different skintones, I love it.

I'm not sure about this one as I don't normally wear nudes. I think I really like it but it's taking me a while to get used to it. It's quite a complex colour, in some lights it looks cream, others a dusky pink, and others it takes on a more lilac or putty colour. I think it's going to be a useful addition to my collection, and the formula is amazing, dry in seconds and you only need 2 think coats.

I absolutely adore dusty blush pink-type colors, so I was quite thrilled with the swatches of this polish. I had been wanting the whole OPI Germany collection, but this is a very subtle, flattering color for my fair neutral-toned skin.

The formula was a bit streaky at first, but it can be remedied by waiting for the coats to dry a little more. I'm also not incredibly fond of the wide brush, as my nails are pretty narrow, but this is such a lovely color, I took advantage of a BOGO half off sale and bought two bottles. I think this is a solid work appropriate color, and would also layer well under many colors of glitter.

This is one of my favorite shades to wear to work. I have to wear nuetral colors and this is pretty simple but the pinkish lilac undertones give it a little something extra. Doesn't look "grandma" at all and i can wear it for a long time before it chips.

This is it - my go-to summer shade. I used to change my nail color weekly at the salon until I stumbled across this color. After requesting this shade for weeks on end, I finally bought a bottle. It really suits my Asian skintone and lasts forever. I love that it's in the nude family, but has lilac tones for a bit more color. Thank goodness for this, because I always feel that most beiges and neutrals make my nails look lifeless. I love wearing this with thin gold jewelry - the colors look great together.

Love this, it's a dupe of rescue beauty lounge grunge. Great formula too, it dries fast and as shiny as if I used a topcoat. The perfect pinkish/lilac/nude <3

After trying a million diff types of nudes, beige and light pinks (from opi, essie and CG), i have finally found the perfect one that suites my skin tone (medium with yellow undertones). Best opacity in a nude polish. 2 coats, 3 if u wanna go darker than bottle color. great staying power, day 4 and no chips. even though i use my hands a lot (typing and loads of housework). definitely will repurchase this. Definitely a chic and feminine, work appropriate polish :) LOVE IT!

This is the most perfect neutral pale pink creme EVER (for me). It's a hard colour to describe with complete accuracy, I can see lilacky-grey tones in there but I don't think it's particularly cool toned, there's enough peachy warmth there to balance it out. "Dirty Bridesmaid" is indeed an appropriate description, LOL. I intend to wear this on my wedding day too!
Definitely needs 2 coats to give perfect, even coverage, my first coat always lo like a streaky mess but a thicker second coat looks immaculate. I apply over Seche Vite Base (the pearly white one) and use Seche top coat and it lasts incredibly well on me.
Definitely a winner for me!

This polish is interesting. I'd call it a pale dirty mauvey pink neutral. I have super pale skin so I thought it might work for me. I don't really love it alone but I do really like it as a base for a french manicures or as "underwear" for glitters. I think it looks awesome on deeper skintones than mine though. Formula and application wise it was as good as OPIs usually are. I might repurchase...

I bought this polish unseen, as I loved the colour of ‘Don’t Pretzel my Buttons’ so much! In the bottle, both colours look very similar, but they are quite different on the nail. MFK is a super chic mauvey-pink. I have heard the colour described as a ‘dirty bridesmaid’ colour which is pretty descriptive. The colour is definitely a winter-pink and the colour is quite cool, with a grey undertone. It doesn’t create a ‘mannequin-hands’ effect, but it is a very flattering, pretty neutral which provides just the right amount of pop. I assume that the ‘wear’ of the polish will be good like most OPI colours – I had my mani last night and I have been typing all day with no sign of chipping. Love it!

My Very First Knockwurst is from OPI Germany 2012 Fall/Winter Collection. This is very similar to the German sausage skin color. Very porky and pinky color. It has a lot of white, pink and tiny a bit of purple tone to make it look mauvey. It might have a little bit of grey tone too.
The application is perfect. It took 2 coats to make it opaque. But the drying time is slightly longer than the dark colors but still pretty quick. I like the sort of creme, beige pink porky color look on my nails. Make me think of a pretty pinky piggy.
This color is so wearable to work or even going out at night time. I like it and if you have a even nail bed, will look even better. I will definitely buy another one for back up.

This is one of my few favorite nude nail polishes. I just don't want to take it off as I usually like to change up my nail polish color. It is so beautiful and chick. I'm asian with yellow undertone, light/medium skin and this polish compliments my hands very well. The color is well described in previous reviews. 2 coats is enough to achieve perfect coverage, not streaky at all. Regarding chipping, i have no problem with that. I can go at least 2 days without any chipping (by the way, i'm working at a restaurant where i wash my hands frequently). Base coat is by Sally Hansen Maximum Growth, top coat is Seche Vite

My Very First Knockwurst is a dusty pink-nude that takes on different casts in different lights. Direct, indoor lighting and the color is a dusty pink with lilac undertones, while in direct sunlight, the polish is a warmer nude with pink undertones. With regard to chipping, I did notice some chipping after only one day of wear but I wash my hands at my job constantly and am always at a keyboard (I'm already using Seche but if there's something else out there please help a girl out).

One of its best features is how it coordinates brilliantly with the other cremes in the new OPI Germany collection, even with the bright (and dark) green creme! For example, I am wearing "Knockwurst" on my fingers and "Berlin There, Done That" on my toes in pre-autumn perfection. If you have a pink-nude hole in your collection, I would certainly add "Knockwurst" to it!

This is an absolutely beautiful color! In the bottle, it looks like a nude with a pink cast, but on the nails, it's a muted, dusty pale pink with an opaque creme finish. Anyone looking for a classic, understated look should check this one out. The only reason I took one lippie off was that the application is a bit tricky; the first coat went on a little streaky. although the second coat levelled it out. I seem to encounter this problem a lot with pale colors (but rarely with darks or brights). However, I love this color so much I would definitely repurchase.
Update: I decided to add a lippie to my review (bringing it up to 5) for two reasons: first, because the color is so perfect, it deserves a 5; and second, because even after four days, there isn't even a tiny chip on the polish (and I am VERY hard on my nails!).

I picked up this color because I love nudes..really any type of nude. Pinky, beige, dusky, etc. In the bottle this color appears to be more of the opaque pinky nude type. Upon first application, the color was a dusky pink and applied like a dream. I applied another coat to make it a little more opaque and it became a peachy-pink very opaque nude. With tan skin, I think this color would look superb. But, unfortunately by the second day, the color is already chipping at the tips as well as a big chunk on my thumb. What a letdown. The color is gorgeous, as I have nothing like it, so will try again with a different topcoat other than Seche.
