Kelli does the best nail swatches. Idk what I find so hypnotic about just watching nail painting and hearing about color but it’s so dang soothing. Thanks Kelli 💚🧜🏻♀️
So many of these I think fit right into your love of galaxy themes. As for me, as long as it is shimmery, sparkly, or glittery, than I am all about it!
You were right; I love the winter swatches so far. Feel the chemis-tree was my favorite too. Hoping there is a pretty wintery purple somewhere in these collections. Also, your makeup is beautiful :)
I absolutely love your swatch n reviews! And I was wondering if you could do a nail polish 101 video talking about the different types of nail polish? You've mentioned in other videos polishes that have a "jelly" or a "cream" consistency and I was wondering what the difference between them are. I'm also a nail polish newbie so your 101 videos are super helpful and the swatch n reviews are great for showing all the different collections and the different finishes out there! And your eyeshadow look is gorgeous! I love purple eyeshadows!
This whole collection is beautiful! I like want all but 2 of them! Haha I would like to see nail art using Top the Package With A Beau. That one is my favorite! Coalmates was my next favorite!
*Could it be that the silver "3 coater" may be more transparent so you can put one coat of that over the other darker polishes perhaps? Use it as a type of transforming topcoat? Just an idea.* 😊
Pretty! I really liked coalmates and feel the chemistree. I’d love to see you do some kind of glittery holiday makeup tutorial and another Harry Potter makeup tutorial (just thought I’d slide that in there 😂😅).
I love all your videos but the swatches are my favorite for sure! however.... they do end up making me buy a bunch of nail polish! My collection is growing substantially and thanks to you I have a ton of super beautiful polishes!
What's up, Kelli?! Great review, thank you. Feel the Chemis-tree is my favourite too - looks awesome with a matte top coat on. Please do a do-dah for your makeup - it's beautiful xxxxxx
Definitely got the Hunger Games vibe as well! This was a very sophisticated, holiday-appropriate collection. I haven’t been as impressed with OPI’s collection this year personally. This one was nice for me. Except those that weren’t as opaque.... although they could be good to layer over other cremes maybe?
Love some of these in this collection. Feel the Chemis-Tree is amazing! I need this! Lol Thanks for doing this Kelli! And once again, your eyes are Fantastic and match your shirt perfectly! 😙
That "Top the Package with a Beau" is so gorgeous! I have bought so many polishes lately, I'm straight-up smuggling them in past my husband 😩😂 Have a great Thanksgiving from Patti with an "i" 😉
I've got holidazed over you along with feel the chemis-tree and loving them but might have to get that top the package with a bow, as a swatched polish looks so much better than the bottle pic.
For the long arm dilemma, try Eddie Bauer tall shirts. I've got a 6 foot wingspan and the tall shirts are almost always able to cover the wrist bone! Total hunger games entrance of the tributes vibes!! Love the glittery ones, meh to the rest. I wonder how coal mates would look with mermaid powder over?
Lovely swatch video Kelli once again, but as for the grandma shade I don't really get why you say that. Metallics, shimmers, glitters I love so many of them and I am certainly not a grandma! But you of course need to give your opinion in a swatch video so fair enough! I'd love to see you do some Christmas stamping and perhaps a few easy freehand designs 🎁🎄
Bought Feel the Chemistree last week and I’m wearing it now. Beautiful!!!!! I’m so glad you put this video up because I wanted to see what your opinion was of it and I guess we both agree :))))
Love the swatch videos! My fav has to be "Top the package with a Beau"! It is so different! Those gold flakes make it so unique! Can you please swatch China Glaze Holiday collection as well!?
First of all, lovin' that purple eye look on you! 😍 Also, this is a gorgeous collection! I love your swatches and reviews! You always make me want to buy new polishes and this time isn't any different! Christmas wish list, here I come! 😁
Hi Kelli. The OPI winter nail polish collection hmmmm didn't really appeal to me, I felt the colors were flat, except for one -Top the Package with a Beau. But always look forward to your videos, love the in-depth details while you swatch. Please do some nail art. Cheers
+Michelle Nidharia I’m glad you enjoy the videos even though this collection might not be for you haha! Maybe the China Glaze winter collection will be more appealing! Definitely nail art soon :)
LOL you are so cute :) Nice makeup (waiting for a fall makeup tutorial) and I love Coalmates also the dark brown and eggplant ones. Those light shimmers are pretty but not my style. I think grandma whenever I see gold and would only use as an accent or for nail art :) Thanks for swatching!
I actually kind of love that light pink. LOL sucks that it smelled bad, but I think it would be a shipper cute "candy pink" for Valentine's or something. The eggplant and that deep navy are AMAZING!!!
I just bought the entire collection because of this video!!! lol! I’ve been eyeing it for awhile and Ulta is having a buy 2 get one free on OPI so I just took the plunge! Have you seen China Glaze’s new winter collection? It’s really pretty too but Ulta doesn’t have it.
Hi Kelli, Great swatches. I think you've added two more to my list. I already got CoalMates. Which is beautiful. Now thinking Chemistree and Beau. P.S. I have the exact opposite problem. Super short arms! So I get so excited when I find a 3/4 sleeve. Because it fits me normal. And I don't have to roll sleeves up. LOL!
Kelly would you ever swatch on different fingers and do a side by side at the end of the videos so that we can see how they jive together (and maybe even give tips on combinations if you like) prices are great too for the bottle or collection and where you could get it at that price point!!! Thank you for your videos!!!
Ooo... I forgot to say that you should invest in lighting the emulates Daylight. That is what a lot of Channels use to show what the polish looks in daylight while being inside. A phone with a lighting App or a LED flashlight/lamp is useful too. It would show the "true" color of the polish at the end.
Going through your videos for more polish ideas, and I do get the Hunger Games from that one polish! I'm looking more into cruelty-free polishes or 5-free ones, but nonetheless I enjoy looking at the variety of colors I can search up to get. xD
Hey kelli - can you list all the colors with links? Also I looked through my OPI stash and saw a few NPs that looked like the ones in the 2017 winter collection - purple with gold copper shimmer "Dutch you just love OPI?", dark plum - "Houston we have a purple," and for the metallic grey - "Lucerne - tainly look marvelous." I am lovin' the Top the package with a Beau (with the golden flakes) is my favorite because it's so different!! Thanks so much for your videos. Will you posting a winter nail art video soon?? hugs :)
+Ren Roz that’s a good idea Ren, will try to do it in the future! Yes, definitely winter nail art - I know I’ve been slacking a lot haha I’m just super blah lately but I’m trying to get back on track!
I’m wondering if the polishes that weren’t opaque in 2 coats are meant to be that way? I have some sheer colors that I really like; maybe those are holiday sheers?
Missed you Kelli! So glad you had fun with your old/new friend! I have a friend like that too but we still haven't met after 1.5+ years. Maybe you've inspired us! Agreed on the Hunger Games vibe 100%!! And the Beau polish, ❤️❤️. I will be ordering that one SOON! Question- why do you almost always use cuccio basecoat for these? I have a problem with my nails showing bumps when I paint them and so I bought the one that started with an R that you recommended back in the day but it's still happening (reguvicote .. or something like that) I want that smooth look like you have when you're done with painting but they randomly get bumpy. Any thoughts? Would cuccio be better? Also, pretty sure you've talked about your long arms and rolling up your sleeves before so, doesn't count! Haha! I have long arms too and always do the same so, I feel like that was a déjà vu moment for me. 😊
+Rebecca W hey Rebecca, Cuccio is just one of my favorite base coats so I always have it on hand :) I love Rejuvacote in the winter tho because it’s a great strengthener! Not sure why you are getting bumpiness - are you doing your nails in a temperature controlled room? I find that happens when my nail polish is too warm.
Kelli Marissa I'll have to try out the Cuccio then! Maybe that'll help! I am usually painting in temperature control but maybe too hot/cold. I'll try to change temps and see if it helps! Thanks!
I think this is the second time you've referred to a color as being "grandma like" that I look at and go, "oooh, that's pretty!" I'm old enough to be a grandma, so maybe that's why I gravitate towards those colors LOL I just wanna say the struggle is real with long arms! I've been shopping for a new winter coat, and every single time I find one that I really like, the arms are too short! It doesn't 100% bother me that most shirt sleeves are too short for me, but I want full coverage in a winter coat, dang it! I'm thinking it'd be easier if I could spend more than $50, but selection in that price range for a really warm coat is mighty slim. I think I'll hit up thrift shops this weekend. Wish me luck!
+Alucard Peach haha I’m glad I’m not the only long armed one. But I will tell you - I ALWAYS get my jackets at the end of winter because they’re always on sale, and I’ll generally stack coupons on them so I get them as cheap as possible. I know it’s too late for this season, but next time you anticipate needing a new jacket, buy it when it’s warm out and you’ll get a better deal!
Kelli Marissa I hadn't anticipated needing a new one, because I just got one last year, but I lost 50 lbs and I thought, "Well, it'll just look oversized and cute now" - but it was a heavy wool pea coat and it swallowed me whole! I have an old coat from probably 10 years ago (that I hate lol) that I might can get through this winter with and try for the after winter sales. That's really good advice! Thanks, Kelli!
Hey Kelli! I just bought ORLY nail polish thinner and I was wondering if I can use it on base/top/clear polishes. I don't want to risk ruining any of them. Thank you in advance! ♡♡
+kimmi ann hey Kimmi, I cant say for sure because I don’t know what ingredients are in the orly brand one - but you should email their customer service to check! The thinner I use works for clear/base/top coats.
I love dark nail polishes that almost look black. I guess it's the surprise factor when you explain that your nails aren't really black. Or kind of like keeping a little secret. :)
I have "Gift of Gold Never Gets Old." Love the colour! It is such a delicate, soft Gold compared to the usual Gold Polishes. I don't know why any company lets a Nail Polish take more than 2 coats to apply (referring to the first 2 polishes you swatched). It is very bothersome to wait so long to put on so many coats of Polish.
Perfect how you paint your nails. This collection was just o.k. In fact, I'm not impressed with any Winter collection, including Zoya. They keep putting the same colors out every single time and it's getting old and quite annoying. Anyway, I need something new, and apart from the Indies (which tend to be very expensive) I'm not getting much. I totally feel you on this, though. I do like a few of things, including the "Tie it up with a beau" and "chems-tree" and "coal mates".
+Why Knot_Now? I was gonna say, you might find some indies appealing! But I can understand your frustration. I think most mainstream brands want to appeal to a wide audience with just a couple of “special” colors sprinkled in for those of us that love new stuff :)
My arms aren't super long, but I roll my sleeves up, like, 99% of the time because having them pushed down bugs me. I also can't really do too many layers... Maybe it's cause I live in a fairly hot climate? Anyway, I actually love most of this collection! Especially anything that has shimmer! (Legit most of my collection is made up of shimmers, and I really should build up the creams lol)
How long does it usually take for you to receive your HB Beauty orders? I just made my first order from there and it’s taking such a long time to ship!
I really liked all the colors except the pink one (but im not really a pink-y person) but i can also see it as a winter color. And i disagree, as I saw it on the screen the last yellow one, i thought looked good with your finger skin tone! And one last question. I know you put the polishes that you are about to swatch in the backround on your caddy. But what do you do with all your other nail polishes, i mean you must have hundreds of nail polishes!!!
+VKS Dub haha! Funny you should ask because I am filming a video about how I store/organize my polish! (I’ll spoil it though - I have a bunch of drawers lol)
I'm REALLY conflicted on this collection. They don't feel very "winter", I guess. I LOOOOVE OPI, but..these feel kinda like repeats. I do love the First white-pearly one and in LOOOVE with that purple-fushia-purple one. Just WOW. #purpleloveforeever lol
Kelli.. What would you say is your favorite brand of nail polish? I’m constantly redoing my nails due to being rough with my hands at work. Would love to know your opinion!
Kelli Marissa it sure is! Where can I get a bottle or 3 lol. I never notice my stores having seasonal collections come in. I wish I had your RUclips job lol
+Amy Moses hm well if you want to stay local I know Ulta should have them, or Sally Beauty - or if you want to get them online, HB Beauty always has the new collections!
Boo that HB doesn't have it, but JCPenney has the whole collection as minis on sale for $19.95. Use code fundeal to get another 15% off! Kelli, I wish I could have ordered it from hb!
I hated My Wish List is You. I could still see through it after three coats and I just didn't like the color at all. I don't know if I got a bad bottle or something since you said it was a 1 coater. Anyone else have that problem with this polish?
These are all gorgeous polishes!! My favorites were 'Top That Package With A Beau' and 'Coalmates'. Also, I too have long arms lol. I can almost never find a long sleeve shirt or hoodie that has long enough sleeves and isn't baggy. #TheStruggleIsReal XD
Kelli does the best nail swatches. Idk what I find so hypnotic about just watching nail painting and hearing about color but it’s so dang soothing. Thanks Kelli 💚🧜🏻♀️
+Momma Cass hehe I’m so glad you like them!
'Top The Package With A Beau' stole my heart. ❤
Kathy King mine too!
+Kathy King oh its so stunning in real life!
Very pretty colors in this collection. You can never go wrong with OPI!
+CustomFit ForaKing agreed!
So many of these I think fit right into your love of galaxy themes. As for me, as long as it is shimmery, sparkly, or glittery, than I am all about it!
Haha I like your way of thinking!
All those colors are absolutely beautiful, i just love those new colors.
+Yolanda Munoz I agree!
All of these look great on you. Those red jellies caught my eye. Soooo bright! ❤️
+blu creeper50 oh yes they’re so festive! :)
Totally with you, Kelli! That chemis-tree” is a showstopper!!! I’m buying that immediately!!
+Char Stewart ooh I love that one!
If you put Feel The Chemis Tree on top of wanna wrap it’s soooo pretty!!
+malaika gray ooh that sounds so gorgeous!
malaika gray - thank you for the tip, love. Always looking for a good base for my shimmer polishes that never reach full opacity. ♡
You were right; I love the winter swatches so far. Feel the chemis-tree was my favorite too. Hoping there is a pretty wintery purple somewhere in these collections. Also, your makeup is beautiful :)
+Raven Godfrey oh gosh thank you so much :)
Christmasy names and gorgeous colours look so amazing 💕😍
+Christon Alva I agree, I love so many of them!
I absolutely love your swatch n reviews! And I was wondering if you could do a nail polish 101 video talking about the different types of nail polish? You've mentioned in other videos polishes that have a "jelly" or a "cream" consistency and I was wondering what the difference between them are. I'm also a nail polish newbie so your 101 videos are super helpful and the swatch n reviews are great for showing all the different collections and the different finishes out there! And your eyeshadow look is gorgeous! I love purple eyeshadows!
+Stacy h hey Stacy, I LOVE that idea!! Yes!! And thank you so so much :)
I can’t believe this, but I actually like every polish in this collection💕 Great video KELLI with an “I”☺️
+Naomi Rivera hehe thanks so much Naomi :) :)
I love your swatches. I always check here before buying the new O.P.I polishes.
+Sara Oliver hehe glad you enjoy them Sara!
This whole collection is beautiful! I like want all but 2 of them! Haha I would like to see nail art using Top the Package With A Beau. That one is my favorite! Coalmates was my next favorite!
+Carime Gardner ooh yes gorgeous picks!
*Could it be that the silver "3 coater" may be more transparent so you can put one coat of that over the other darker polishes perhaps? Use it as a type of transforming topcoat? Just an idea.* 😊
+She Who Knows All that is a good point, I didn’t even think of it!
Love the hunger games vibes one and I too have lengthy arms♡♡♡
+Frances Guillen hehe :)
I love the swatch and review videos. Great video Kelli ♡
+Karmen Moser thanks so much Karmen :)
Can you do a video on cuticle care? Mine grow so far down my nail and I'm pretty sure I don't do a good job taking care of them
+Allie3den hey Allie, this is a great idea, I’ll def add it to the list!
I think Top the package with a Beau (with the golden flakes) is my favourite 😻
+sídhe wen it’s so beautiful in the light!
Pretty! I really liked coalmates and feel the chemistree. I’d love to see you do some kind of glittery holiday makeup tutorial and another Harry Potter makeup tutorial (just thought I’d slide that in there 😂😅).
Shara Shamsudeen you just let that comment slyther-in
+Shara Shamsudeen ahh yes I know I’ve been totally slacking on the makeup looks haha! Will definitely do some soon I promise!
Feel the chemis-tree .... crazy about it, that colour is stunning! And also with no doubt - you look beautiful ... still loving your hair
+Deb Segovia oh wow thank you so much Deb! And hehe.. I might have made a small change to it yesterday... ;)
I love all your videos but the swatches are my favorite for sure! however.... they do end up making me buy a bunch of nail polish! My collection is growing substantially and thanks to you I have a ton of super beautiful polishes!
+Kat Sorenson lol tell your wallet I’m sorry, but I’m glad you enjoy them and get the pretty polishes :P
my wallet will recover, it's worth it!
What's up, Kelli?! Great review, thank you. Feel the Chemis-tree is my favourite too - looks awesome with a matte top coat on. Please do a do-dah for your makeup - it's beautiful xxxxxx
+Lara Tiara oh gosh thanks so much Lara! I definitely can :)
Your swatch videos are my favorite!!!❤️
+Aimee P ahh that makes me so happy! Thanks Aimee!
Wrap it with a beau and coalmates are definitely my faves! I'm gonna need them. 😍
+Ashleigh Latham they’re sooo gorgeous in person!
Definitely got the Hunger Games vibe as well! This was a very sophisticated, holiday-appropriate collection. I haven’t been as impressed with OPI’s collection this year personally. This one was nice for me. Except those that weren’t as opaque.... although they could be good to layer over other cremes maybe?
+Angie Lott aka angelang83 that is a good point - or as others mentioned, could be intentionally sheer for a light wash of sparkle!
Love some of these in this collection. Feel the Chemis-Tree is amazing! I need this! Lol Thanks for doing this Kelli! And once again, your eyes are Fantastic and match your shirt perfectly! 😙
+Viki Pazdur hehe thanks so much Viki!
You're very welcome!
I have to know where you got that silver dangly bracelet - it's so pretty! I love those dangling bracelets! ✌❤💅
+KimShea22 haha oh gosh it’s just one of those string bracelets with a few beads! I picked it up at a random shop in San Diego :P
If they added holo to em they would’ve sold out yesterday!
+C1nderfire lol I think you’ll like the China Glaze winter colors!
"Ornament to be together" and "Coalmates" actually have holo. :)
C1nderfire did u come from Cristine's page? Lol
The silver one has holo in it. You can't even tell in the store lighting tho.
That "Top the Package with a Beau" is so gorgeous! I have bought so many polishes lately, I'm straight-up smuggling them in past my husband 😩😂 Have a great Thanksgiving from Patti with an "i" 😉
It was the most unusual one. My favorite too. Festive AND gloomie too. Love it.
SimplyPatti glad I’m not the only smuggler in the group!
+SimplyPatti LOL don’t get in trouble!!
I've got holidazed over you along with feel the chemis-tree and loving them but might have to get that top the package with a bow, as a swatched polish looks so much better than the bottle pic.
+Phoenixtelstar I really recommend it, I love it!
Loved your review!!! I think my favorite is "coalmates"!
+Estefânia Bettio such a gorgeous one!
For the long arm dilemma, try Eddie Bauer tall shirts. I've got a 6 foot wingspan and the tall shirts are almost always able to cover the wrist bone! Total hunger games entrance of the tributes vibes!! Love the glittery ones, meh to the rest. I wonder how coal mates would look with mermaid powder over?
+Lynn Shallue oh man that sounds like it would be really unique haha I wonder how it would do over the glittery texture tho?
No idea, because I don't have either! Experiment time? :)
Great review Kelli, I only bought Feel the Chemis-tree from this collection but now I want Top the package with a Beau too! 😃🎄
+The Nail Polish Hound haha it’s a must have!!
Lovely swatch video Kelli once again, but as for the grandma shade I don't really get why you say that. Metallics, shimmers, glitters I love so many of them and I am certainly not a grandma! But you of course need to give your opinion in a swatch video so fair enough! I'd love to see you do some Christmas stamping and perhaps a few easy freehand designs 🎁🎄
+Fiona Siegertsz haha, probably because my grandma always wears those colors and they always remind me of her! :P
YOUR SO PRETTTTTYYYY AND MAKEUP IN FLEEK AS ALWAYS AND LUV THE COLLECTION ❤️👏
+Maddy Underwood oh my gosh yay thank you so much!!
Bought Feel the Chemistree last week and I’m wearing it now. Beautiful!!!!! I’m so glad you put this video up because I wanted to see what your opinion was of it and I guess we both agree :))))
+Sarah Duignan omg yes I’m obsessed with it!!!
I have Coalmates on right now in the gel and love it! Will def be trying others in the collection.
+Kim Lee-Blair oh man I bet it looks so amazing in the sunlight!
Love the swatch videos! My fav has to be "Top the package with a Beau"! It is so different! Those gold flakes make it so unique! Can you please swatch China Glaze Holiday collection as well!?
+Aparna A. Yes definitely! Just got it in the mail :)
Bought my 3 favorites over the weekend and top it with a beau is on my nails already ❤❤
+Cala Naylor ooh yes such a gorgeous pick!
Oh! I love some of those! Gotta get some of those! I love dark colors!
+Kristle Lacy the vampy one’s are just fantastic!!
So I just found “Feel the Chemis-tree” on clearance at Ulta! So stoked!!
It's so gorgeous!
Love the colors. That includes your eye shadow! And this gramma wears pearl jammin ;)
+Julia Rickett haha thanks Julia :P
I love your swatches ! I would love all of them , but then I’m greedy lol 😊
+Michelle Till haha! Im usually the same way.
First of all, lovin' that purple eye look on you! 😍 Also, this is a gorgeous collection! I love your swatches and reviews! You always make me want to buy new polishes and this time isn't any different! Christmas wish list, here I come! 😁
+MoreThanNailVarnish ahh thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy them hehe
Thanks for the swatches I love it so I can know what colors I want and what color is I don't want
+ssue4q I’m so happy you find them helpful :)
Hi Kelli. The OPI winter nail polish collection hmmmm didn't really appeal to me, I felt the colors were flat, except for one -Top the Package with a Beau. But always look forward to your videos, love the in-depth details while you swatch. Please do some nail art. Cheers
+Michelle Nidharia I’m glad you enjoy the videos even though this collection might not be for you haha! Maybe the China Glaze winter collection will be more appealing! Definitely nail art soon :)

+Haten Google ahhh I know I’m totally slacking on the makeup, I gotta film a vid on it soon!
Kelli Marissa
Loved all except the Throne- In Shade. I think that color wouldn't complement my skin tone. Thanks for the cool video.👍💗
+dale underdue I’m glad you enjoyed it! :)
I actually kind of love that light pink. LOL sucks that it smelled bad, but I think it would be a shipper cute "candy pink" for Valentine's or something.
The eggplant and that deep navy are AMAZING!!!
+Stephanie Ballew I do think it would make a gorgeous french tip though!
Kelli Marissa ooohhh! I didn't even think about it for a French tip! I bet that WOULD be super pretty!
I just bought the entire collection because of this video!!! lol! I’ve been eyeing it for awhile and Ulta is having a buy 2 get one free on OPI so I just took the plunge! Have you seen China Glaze’s new winter collection? It’s really pretty too but Ulta doesn’t have it.
+Haleigh Lilly yes I just got it actually! The colors are gorgeous, I can’t wait to swatch!
Hi Kelli, Great swatches. I think you've added two more to my list. I already got CoalMates. Which is beautiful. Now thinking Chemistree and Beau. P.S. I have the exact opposite problem. Super short arms! So I get so excited when I find a 3/4 sleeve. Because it fits me normal. And I don't have to roll sleeves up. LOL!
+SkipToMyLuLuDarling Lol! Let’s trade!
Kelly would you ever swatch on different fingers and do a side by side at the end of the videos so that we can see how they jive together (and maybe even give tips on combinations if you like) prices are great too for the bottle or collection and where you could get it at that price point!!! Thank you for your videos!!!
Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll definitely see what I can do :) it is a lot easier to just swatch on the one finger though haha!
Ooo... I forgot to say that you should invest in lighting the emulates Daylight. That is what a lot of Channels use to show what the polish looks in daylight while being inside. A phone with a lighting App or a LED flashlight/lamp is useful too. It would show the "true" color of the polish at the end.
I have the same issue with overly long arms. I love 3/4 length sleeves
+Mary Friedling haha every sleeve is a 3/4 sleeve for me!
I have really long arms and legs too.... But I love this collection and going to buy it... As always sending hope, love and happiness....
+Roxie TheDog oh thank you so much ❤️ and same to you as well!!!
Going through your videos for more polish ideas, and I do get the Hunger Games from that one polish! I'm looking more into cruelty-free polishes or 5-free ones, but nonetheless I enjoy looking at the variety of colors I can search up to get. xD
I'm glad you enjoyed this video! I've got a bunch of cruelty free and 5 free shades swatches too!!
Did not care for those first 2, but the rest are gorgeous colors, thank you for swatches, your awesome 😎 and gorgeous as always 👰💕
+Carmen Fonseca hehe I’m glad you enjoyed the majority of them at least!
Hey Kelli, have you tried Urban Decay's Naked nail colour collection? They have some really interesting neutral shades.
+Mad Rian I havent! I don’t know that I knew they have polishes, haha!
Hey kelli - can you list all the colors with links? Also I looked through my OPI stash and saw a few NPs that looked like the ones in the 2017 winter collection - purple with gold copper shimmer "Dutch you just love OPI?", dark plum - "Houston we have a purple," and for the metallic grey - "Lucerne - tainly look marvelous." I am lovin' the Top the package with a Beau (with the golden flakes) is my favorite because it's so different!! Thanks so much for your videos. Will you posting a winter nail art video soon?? hugs :)
+Ren Roz that’s a good idea Ren, will try to do it in the future! Yes, definitely winter nail art - I know I’ve been slacking a lot haha I’m just super blah lately but I’m trying to get back on track!
Love your videos. I wish I could polish my nails as well as you do. Thank you.
+Feline LuvR I bet you could! It’s easier when you do it as often as I do haha!
I’m wondering if the polishes that weren’t opaque in 2 coats are meant to be that way? I have some sheer colors that I really like; maybe those are holiday sheers?
+Kath Youell hey Kath, I think you’re right - but I honestly don’t love sheer shades that aren’t cremes haha!
Missed you Kelli! So glad you had fun with your old/new friend! I have a friend like that too but we still haven't met after 1.5+ years. Maybe you've inspired us! Agreed on the Hunger Games vibe 100%!! And the Beau polish, ❤️❤️. I will be ordering that one SOON! Question- why do you almost always use cuccio basecoat for these?

Not sure why you are getting bumpiness - are you doing your nails in a temperature controlled room? I find that happens when my nail polish is too warm.
Kelli Marissa I'll have to try out the Cuccio then! Maybe that'll help! I am usually painting in temperature control but maybe too hot/cold. I'll try to change temps and see if it helps! Thanks!
I love the coal, I would wear that all the time. Was it just me, or did the silver have a warm undertone?
+Mariah Johnson it felt pretty neutral to me but you could be right!
I think this is the second time you've referred to a color as being "grandma like" that I look at and go, "oooh, that's pretty!" I'm old enough to be a grandma, so maybe that's why I gravitate towards those colors LOL
I just wanna say the struggle is real with long arms! I've been shopping for a new winter coat, and every single time I find one that I really like, the arms are too short! It doesn't 100% bother me that most shirt sleeves are too short for me, but I want full coverage in a winter coat, dang it! I'm thinking it'd be easier if I could spend more than $50, but selection in that price range for a really warm coat is mighty slim. I think I'll hit up thrift shops this weekend. Wish me luck!
+Alucard Peach haha I’m glad I’m not the only long armed one. But I will tell you - I ALWAYS get my jackets at the end of winter because they’re always on sale, and I’ll generally stack coupons on them so I get them as cheap as possible. I know it’s too late for this season, but next time you anticipate needing a new jacket, buy it when it’s warm out and you’ll get a better deal!
Kelli Marissa I hadn't anticipated needing a new one, because I just got one last year, but I lost 50 lbs and I thought, "Well, it'll just look oversized and cute now" - but it was a heavy wool pea coat and it swallowed me whole! I have an old coat from probably 10 years ago (that I hate lol) that I might can get through this winter with and try for the after winter sales. That's really good advice! Thanks, Kelli!
Omg thanks so much Kelli for this video!! Loving most, the first is nice but I would say I only don’t like the pink lol
+glenpab84 haha yeah agreed!
Got coalmates! Stunning nail color 😍
+jessenia olvera oh man I’m in love with it!
Top the package and coal mates are my favorites and I like feel the chemistree
+Carolina Noriega I love those ones!
Hey Kelli! I just bought ORLY nail polish thinner and I was wondering if I can use it on base/top/clear polishes. I don't want to risk ruining any of them. Thank you in advance! ♡♡
+kimmi ann hey Kimmi, I cant say for sure because I don’t know what ingredients are in the orly brand one - but you should email their customer service to check! The thinner I use works for clear/base/top coats.
Kelli Marissa - thank you! ♡
I love dark nail polishes that almost look black. I guess it's the surprise factor when you explain that your nails aren't really black. Or kind of like keeping a little secret. :)
+lidette711 haha yes you hit the nail on the head! (No pun intended...) I love it.
I have "Gift of Gold Never Gets Old." Love the colour! It is such a delicate, soft Gold compared to the usual Gold Polishes. I don't know why any company lets a Nail Polish take more than 2 coats to apply (referring to the first 2 polishes you swatched). It is very bothersome to wait so long to put on so many coats of Polish.
+Jen Scott agreed, so inconvenient!
Love when you share collections. Not a complete fan of this one, the China Glaze collection is still my favorite. ;) Ornery that way I guess. LOL.
+Amy West hehe maybe you’ll like the CG holiday colors then! They do have amazing ones.
Well it looks like I need to go shopping lol! Seriously OPI is my favorite brand!!
+Tabetha Webster it’s definitely in my top brands too!
Wow, those colors were so beautiful. Love ur makeup, u look so pretty.
+Ginny R thank you so much Ginny!!
A little underwhelming collection, huh. I just got some ilnp polishes. Oh so pretty. I'm obsessed.
+Dani Stanley aw, I’m sorry you weren’t impressed with it Dani!
Would you do a RIDE OR DIE...of nail polishes of course...:-)...Your ULTIMATE favorite ones...top 5..top 10? thnx!!
+Little Miss omg haha I don’t know that I could pick only 10! It changes allllll the time!
I NEED the beau one in my life!
+Lynn Williams Hobby you def do!!
Perfect how you paint your nails. This collection was just o.k. In fact, I'm not impressed with any Winter collection, including Zoya. They keep putting the same colors out every single time and it's getting old and quite annoying. Anyway, I need something new, and apart from the Indies (which tend to be very expensive) I'm not getting much. I totally feel you on this, though. I do like a few of things, including the "Tie it up with a beau" and "chems-tree" and "coal mates".
+Why Knot_Now? I was gonna say, you might find some indies appealing! But I can understand your frustration. I think most mainstream brands want to appeal to a wide audience with just a couple of “special” colors sprinkled in for those of us that love new stuff :)
My arms aren't super long, but I roll my sleeves up, like, 99% of the time because having them pushed down bugs me. I also can't really do too many layers... Maybe it's cause I live in a fairly hot climate?
Anyway, I actually love most of this collection! Especially anything that has shimmer! (Legit most of my collection is made up of shimmers, and I really should build up the creams lol)
+Danielle Ellis haha I am probably the opposite! I love cremes so much, I wear them 90% of the time :P
Ur so good at painting nails it’s satisfying to watch😄 did you get the new emojis, Kelli?🤪🤩
+Sofia Purple ahh thank you! And yes I did hehe 🤩
How long does it usually take for you to receive your HB Beauty orders? I just made my first order from there and it’s taking such a long time to ship!
Hey Ann, they do ground shipping so it does take a bit longer - but honestly it’s totally worth the wait, I’ve never had a broken bottle from them!
I really liked all the colors except the pink one (but im not really a pink-y person) but i can also see it as a winter color. And i disagree, as I saw it on the screen the last yellow one, i thought looked good with your finger skin tone! And one last question. I know you put the polishes that you are about to swatch in the backround on your caddy. But what do you do with all your other nail polishes, i mean you must have hundreds of nail polishes!!!
+VKS Dub haha! Funny you should ask because I am filming a video about how I store/organize my polish! (I’ll spoil it though - I have a bunch of drawers lol)
Kelli Marissa i always thinks its insane, all the products that yt's have. But thats the bizness!! Luvs ya! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
I'm REALLY conflicted on this collection. They don't feel very "winter", I guess. I LOOOOVE OPI, but..these feel kinda like repeats. I do love the First white-pearly one and in LOOOVE with that purple-fushia-purple one. Just WOW. #purpleloveforeever lol
Top the Package with a Beau!!! So gorgeous!!!
So pretty!
Kelli..
What would you say is your favorite brand of nail polish?
I’m constantly redoing my nails due to being rough with my hands at work. Would love to know your opinion!
Jennifer Stewart she's mentioned before that China Glaze is her favorite formula.
+Jennifer Stewart hey Jennifer, I always say China Glaze makes my favorite colors but OPI has my favorite formula :)
Thanks Kelli!! I’ll check them out!!!
Ooooh they are so pretty, but i cant buy any more right now i'm torn xD
+KnightOfCydonia18 I think they’ll be around for a while so you have time! :)
Beautiful colors.
+lily Barr :)
So what is your fave gold???
I actually don’t have a gold polish i really love :(
Top of the package with a beau omfg! I must have! Where? how?
+Amy Moses haha isn’t it stunning?!
Kelli Marissa it sure is! Where can I get a bottle or 3 lol. I never notice my stores having seasonal collections come in. I wish I had your RUclips job lol
+Amy Moses hm well if you want to stay local I know Ulta should have them, or Sally Beauty - or if you want to get them online, HB Beauty always has the new collections!
Kelli Marissa thanks hun. I can't wait. My Sally didn't have it.Maybe the city one will have it. Where r u from?
Why don't you use a peel off base coat?
+OkinawaOwl0 0 personally I’m not a fan, takes too long to dry for swatches and it peels off too quickly to use for regular manicures haha
TTPWAB is the only one I bought 🖤👍🏼
+Sierra Baby it’s one of the best!
Love your voice!!
Elisabet Law - doesn't she have the prettiest voice? :-) ♡♡
+Elisabet Law oh gosh haha you guys are so sweet!
Beautiful polishes
+Jenny Lousie grant agreed!!!
Boo that HB doesn't have it, but JCPenney has the whole collection as minis on sale for $19.95. Use code fundeal to get another 15% off! Kelli, I wish I could have ordered it from hb!
+Lynn Shallue thanks for sharing, Lynn!
I wish i had the money because I really really like this whole collection. Thanks
+Kristin Cheetham it is a pretty collection!
I hated My Wish List is You. I could still see through it after three coats and I just didn't like the color at all. I don't know if I got a bad bottle or something since you said it was a 1 coater. Anyone else have that problem with this polish?
Hey, it’s possible you got a bad bottle! Have you tried emailing OPI’s customer service??
Kelli Marissa Nah.. it was one of the tiny bottles, so I wouldn't bother, but I probably would if it was a big bottle :-)
Awesome swatches and review
+Kay Lilia thanks so much Kay :)
Thanks for being honest!! Love that!!
+Nicole Meeker-Fitchett always!
Kelli Marissa Why don’t you have an address on here for people to send you presents?
Also, my arms are too short, so I’ll send you my extra sleeve ends. 😂
+Nicole Meeker-Fitchett haha I have considered it but tbh i don’t know that anyone would send me stuff :P
Kelli Marissa i would send you my sleeves. 😂
I wish you would always do at least two coats. It usually changes the color, darkens it up a little. And most people do two coats.
+Pilar Tolmich hey Pilar, thanks for the recommendation. Will definitely keep this in mind for the future!
These are all gorgeous polishes!! My favorites were 'Top That Package With A Beau' and 'Coalmates'. Also, I too have long arms lol. I can almost never find a long sleeve shirt or hoodie that has long enough sleeves and isn't baggy. #TheStruggleIsReal XD
