Dotted Pretzel

Author: marta  //  Category: OPI

Hello Lovely Ladies,

Today I continue to shine the light on yet another shade from the OPI Germany Fall/Winter 2012 collection.  This time I would like to share with you a nude/neutral shade that has very quickly risen to the top of my favorites list: OPI Don’t Pretzel my Buttons

OPI descrives Don’t Pretzel My Buttons as “A haute honey-beige that can always make you smile”

I really don’t want you to pass over Don’t Pretzel my Buttons just because it is “neutral” polish; to the nail-polish connoisseur ;) this shade is everything but common.  Don’t Pretzel my Buttons stays warm-toned and gives my nails a healthy neutral glow… I almost want to say peachy.  This shade is mmmh, mmmmh good against my skin-tone.  I haven’t been this smitten with a flattering nude since Cult Nails Cruisin’ Nude came into my life ;)

(dots were created using two OPI shades from this collection: Don’t Talk Bach to Me and Danke-Shiny Red as well as some BornPrettyStore gold holo glitter all placed using a dotting tool)

Putting aside the fact that I ADORE pretzels (therefore I was sold just by hearing this fun polish name) ;) , this shade is THE perfect palate cleanser… it is one of those work-appropriate neutral shades that compliments any wardrobe and style.

In case you missed my swatch post, here is two perfectly creamy coats of Don’t Pretzel my Buttons:

Do you have a favorite neutral palate cleanser?

Do you love pretzels as much as I do? Chocolate covered pretzels? (mmmhhhh yummy)

THANK YOU FOR READING!!!

    I purchased this color along with several others from the collection and must say that it is my new favorite nude! Peachy is a great way to describe it. AND I love what you’ve done with the dots! This has been a fun series to follow!

      Hi Trachelle,
      You and me both are enamored with this one ;) Okay, I am so glad you agree with me on the ‘peachy’ tint… I didn’t want to put it out there and confuse people with the terms, but on me it really leans just a tad peach with adds to the charm! ;)
      Thank you HONESTLY for your sweet comment. On Monday I will have “Berlin There Done That” ;) Hope you stay tuned ;)

    This is a awesome looking nude.. I’m not a huge fan of nude colours, but this really looks stunning on you . I love the dots you did , looks so cute and compliments the colour nicely.

    I want them all… I have to raid a bank :)

      Hi katzekratz,
      lol… at first glance they seem ‘ordinary’ colors… but this one, “Don’t Talk Bach to me” and “Every month is Oktoberfest” are definitely must-haves ;) IMO When you figure out how to raid your bank… let me know… there are soo many pretties I want too ;)

  • GosiaB

    I just wore this the other day!! I have to say that not being a nude person, I quite liked it!! Love the dots, and I just got my package from born pretty store with all kinds of glitter!! Thx so much for your reviews and awesome work appropriate glitter use!!! :) )

    • http://www.chitchatnails.com/ Marta

      Hi GosiaB,
      You and me both… this shade definitely has something special about it! (and I too got a whole pack of glitters from the BPStore ;) )I’ll be glitzing it up! ;)
      You continue to be soooo sweet to me with your comments ;) Keep ‘em coming, my ego really appreciates it ;)

    Hi mobb,
    Thank you for taking the time to leave this kind comment :D I have seen neutrals like this one paired with neons and it looks really sharp (maybe neon dots ;) ). Thank you and I’m glad I was able to showcase a nude in a way that you could enjoy also :D

    Nudes look good on your nails , I am not confident enough to go with out colour but the dots make me want to grab a nude and do some dotting , Love it! I just got my glitters and stuffs today too, playtime I think on Sunday what do you think ;)

  • Louise Cook

    Wow this colour looks stunning on you. I love nude polishes but have yet to find the perfect shade but this certainly looks worthy on my investment :) . I love the colours used for your dotted tips. Definately one for my inspiration list xx

  • Pink Pamalamma

    See why you made me crave a nude?! Haha! :)

  • Julie Vernie

    Love the dots!

    Oh my, I’m SO behind with your posts! So excuse me if my comment are short, I have some serious reading to do! :D

    This is absolutely lovely, and I love those “palate cleanser” colors – I bought the entire Essence Nude Glam line AND Catrice Ultimate Nudes, so every let’s say one a month I get to try one of them and “rest” my eyes and everything. :D I’ve been meaning to do this kind of dotted look for ages now, but I don’t have different sized dotting tools (only one size) and that can be a problem. Maybe I’ll improvise.. if I’m in the mood ;)

    You are so talented my friend!

    Such a cute and fun manicure with the dots added!

    This makes me want Don’t Pretzel My Buttons. I love how nice and clean it looks. Definitely a palate cleanser I’d reach for! :D And the dots you added to it gave it a festive flavor. It just gave me an idea for next year’s CNY — thank you!! :D
