I found you! It's nice to see a mainstream like OPI straying into "indie" territory with the golden shimmer and their subtle contrasting shimmers vs. base colors. Soft and safe, but hey... they are trying! 😂 Thanks for the swatches ❤
I agree! A few of the slightly thinner shimmers reminded me of a few indie brands. I kinda like that they attempted to branch out. I'm glad you're here! ☺️Thanks for watching!
Very thorough review. Appreciate you letting us know about each formula and your application experience. Even though I’m not a fan of sheer polishes, my two favorites from this collection are the green mint💚 and baby blue🩵. Nice to see a mainstream brand trying something different. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for swatching this collection😊
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed the video. I really liked a lot of the colors in this collection. I'm just disappointed in some of the formulas. But like you and another viewer stated, I'm actually pleased that they went out of their box with some of these. A few of them really looked like an indie brand released it. Kudos for them attempting!
This is a pretty collection. I am expecting my order from polish pick in a few days. I picked up most of the polishes from your top pick, except the lavender one, but I may need to get it next time.😊 Thanks for swatches!
Thank you for the video! The polishes are so sheer I wonder if you could use them almost as toppers? Grape escape especially - that blue shimmer would look so gorgeous on top of a lot of colours
Thanks so much for swatching and sharing these! I love a shimmer and sheer or jelly polishes don’t bother me so long as they’re even and not streaky. So many of these are really pretty but I’d rather pay a few dollars more and get a better formula from an indie maker than mess around with floating the third coat - and I tend to do three on a lot of polishes to begin with. I just don’t want to deal with finicky formulas.
I love the color story a lot, they are really beautiful. It's a shame they don't lean more towards a crelly formula, my nails are stained after years of polish and I have a hard nail line. I would consider picking them up if I get a blurring base. Thanks for the swatches, first time watcher here! 😊
The color story is beautiful! I try to stay away as much as I can from dark colors or wear them less than 3 days to prevent staining. I'm more of a lighter color girl. I'm going to try a blurring base coat when I do my full manis of these to see if it helps. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the great video! I would’ve loved this collection if the formulas were better. Also, I need OPI to update their brush before I buy from them again.
Thank you! I admit that I am disappointed in some on the formulas. It was like the ones I wanted to be good were okay or not great and vice versa. OPI's brush always confused me. It seems to straight for most people.
Great review! I like the side by side bottle shots. I absolutely agree with your thoughts - this won’t be for everyone. The formula seems to be very disappointing. The blue one was the one I was most interested in but the formula seemed so watery. I think this will be a pass.
Thank you! Yes, the blue one was thinner than some of the others. It was such a pretty color, but I'm disappointed that the formula wasn't just a little bit better. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either.
You're welcome! ☺️ I definitely will be using a blurring base coat when I do full mani's of these. I wanted to be fair to those that might use a clear base or no base coat at all. It'll be interesting to see if the base coat helps out some of them.
TFS!!! My fav’s are the MINT & Surreal ones 💅🏻 for any & all of the ones that we’re streaky & thin… alls you have to do is exactly what we’re told not too 😅 unscrew the cap, set it sideways on top and place it on a shelf or someplace it won’t get knocked over & let it sit for an hour, screw the cap back on, shake it up, check the consistency and repeat as needed. It has usually taken me 3 hrs for OPI’s and 1-2 for Essies but it works and you can save those polishes that are unique to you.
What’s the name of the purply blue shimmer one you show next to two others @15:15?!? I didn’t notice the blue shimmer in that one until you laid the bottle down next to the others
I'm going to try your hack this week on the two of three that had the thinner formula and less shimmer. Probably on the holo as well. Thanks for reminding me! 😁❤️
I did not. I didn't want to use it for the live swatches in case people use a clear base coat or they don't use one at all. I already wore Welcome to Your Whirl with a blurring base coat. It's gorgeous! But it's formula was better than some. I don't know if the base coat helped or not. It still kinda looked similar to my swatch. Thanks for commenting! 😊
It is such a pretty collection! At least some are decent enough. I love sheers, so I hope they try again in the future and the formulas are better. Thanks for watching!

Beautiful swatches! Thanks for sharing. TTYL, my friend. ~~~~Tina
Thank you! I appreciate you stopping by!
Such a shame they are all sheer 😢 just not prepared to do 3 coats of a polish and still have patchiness ☹️
I know! It's annoying to do 3 coats, but to still have streaks. I won't do 4 coats. Three coats are my limit. Thanks for watching!
Great review on these. I think I will be getting the teal, coral and maybe the pink. Thanks
Thank you! Those are all beautiful choices! The coral and teal are two of my favorites from the collection. ☺️

The colors are very pretty! I hope you enjoy them! At least half of them, we're not difficult to work with. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video! The polishes are so sheer I wonder if you could use them almost as toppers? Grape escape especially - that blue shimmer would look so gorgeous on top of a lot of colours
You probably could apply some of them as a topper. I'll have to look at that. Thanks for watching!

I agree! There's so many great sheer formulas out there. Some of these were decent, but the others were a struggle. Thanks for watching!
They’re very pretty. I don’t go for warm/gold/yellow shimmer when the polish is a cool tone.
I wouldn't buy them if they don't fit your tastes. Polish can get expensive, especially if you might not be happy with it. TFW!

I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot of very sheer polishes this spring.
I love sheers, but I hope we don't have a wave of sheers hit us. That would be too much. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for swatching and commenting about this color s!
You're welcome!
Great video! Thanks for sharing and super informative! I'm still on the fence on getting this collection but I really appreciate your video!
Thank you! It was sheer shimmers and pastels. I couldn't pass it up. But I'm slightly disappointed with some of the formulas because they are pretty.

Your explanation is excellent.
Thank you!
These are all so petty. I think most of them will definitely require a blurring base coat. Thanks for sharing! 🙂☮️❤️

That Check ya out is pretty too

It's Happy Play-ce. I think it's really pretty. Flattering, too!
This collection did have some pretty colors.

Nice review, love the names of the polishes. I’m not a fan of the pastel colors, just personal preference.
Thank you! Pastels are definitely not for everyone.
Did you use a base (blurring), or top coat with these? I think that would work well.
I did not. I didn't want to use it for the live swatches in case people use a clear base coat or they don't use one at all. I already wore Welcome to Your Whirl with a blurring base coat. It's gorgeous! But it's formula was better than some. I don't know if the base coat helped or not. It still kinda looked similar to my swatch. Thanks for commenting! 😊
I like your swatches. Good job :-) And we have similar skin tone, which is great! Subscribe.
Thank you! I love watching swatch reviews on different skin types and tones. It helps visually.
The shades and shimmers are beautiful but those formulas are not. Too bad as this is a gorgeous collection.
It is such a pretty collection! At least some are decent enough. I love sheers, so I hope they try again in the future and the formulas are better. Thanks for watching!
You have too much polish on the brush and this makes it difficult to spread evenly. These polished seem to be too fluid.
With these, I did shake excess off . But for me, I didn't like thin coats. It's just preference. Thanks!
