New subscriber. As a wife, mommy and fully time employee I "escape" my roles and cherish my rare "me time" by paining my nails. It's my meditation time. As my time is limited, it's frustrating picking a color I truly like. I was looking on Essie's Instagram to get an idea of the formula and colors from their new expressie line and came across your post. Here I am now figuring out you also have a RUclips channel! I am excited because most importantly you are staying current (keeping up with the new collections) while also reflecting back and providing comparisons across family colors. You are doing a great job.
Welcome to my channel! Nail painting is such a great relaxing thing for us moms. So glad you enjoy it. Thank you so much for your nice comment. I am so glad you are here :).
Love that “Mi Casa Es Blue Casa!” 💙💙 I pretty much only use the yellow gold metallic polishes for Christmas, New Year’s, or nail art (such as pot-o-gold for St. Patrick’s day). Thanks for sharing these swatches! 😍😍
Hello! I am writing to tell you how much I appreciate your Channel..I love your personality and any tips and ideas are SO appreciated! I struggle with choosing colors~ Bless you, and Thank you👱♀️👑💅
I'll always love metallics. I'm a 90's kid so I grew up around metallics and those old school frosted and pearly shades. What's new to me are the jelly textures and flakey holo things from indie brands, but I'm acquiring a taste for them.
Even though blue is my favorite color, I cannot do blue nail polish, I feel so uncomfortable and self-conscience with it on. But give every damn coral color ever! Will you be doing a review of the Essie 2020 Valentine’s collection?
I must know what polish you are wearing in the video!😍 my favorites in this collection are; mi casa, verde nice, mural mural, mariachi and Mexico city💖 Not a big fan of metallic ones either.
Hello Laurie, I have both Hotter Than You Pink and Kiss Me On My Tulips, and I bought Telenovela Me About It. From your comparison photo, they all have the same tone or saturation of pink and for some people, there is not enough measurable difference to justify having them all. But for pink lovers like me, I like to have options and I almost always buy the pink polish in every OPI collection!! I'm not a fan of gold metallics -- I prefer my metallics in deeper shades or in silver, and I generally limit my wearing of them to fall/winter. Also, I never picked up any of the other comparison purples you showed along with Mariachi Makes My Day, so I did get that one and now I have one of those very similar purples in my collection. :D
I would love to see which colors you use for your eye make up and brows. 😃😍 Thank you for the lovely review video! Can't wait this collection to come to Finland! 😊❤
Thank you. I have started sharing a bit more makeup and other things on my Instastories lately. I should mention that more specifically on my videos too.
@@GoPolished Thanks for the tip! I found your ig-account and started following! I'm in Instagram with a username @tr_polish_ if you want to check it out! 😃 Greetings from Finland! 😃😄
Loved this collection but I def do think that there are alot of dupes for the whole line! I had Hotter than you Pink until about a few months ago! I wasnt gracitating to it since I dont like the pink-blue undertone 🤷🏻♀️ I cant wait to do Mural Mural on the wall. I wonder if putting a creme base shade will help bring out the color more?
I have "Hotter Than You Pink"...I do love shimmers. I have owned "Kiss Me On My Tulips"....loved the shade but, creams are not my jam. So, I may be picking up "Telenovela Me About It" because it has more interest for me than a straight cream.
I’m not a fan of metallic gold specifically...it was on clearance on ultas site but I didn’t get it...I’ve got a couple golds already, and don’t need more...I like metallic polishes in deeper tones
Thanks, your work is appreicated! And comparisons help our wallets!! I also do not like metallics.. I've tried LOL But I'm a bit older (65 next week) and they seem so dated to me. When I was younger there were soooo many metallics! Didn't like them then either! LOL
Oh interested in a maskara review. Five to six years ago cara (if I recall correctly) blew my mind with her application technique (those before and after shots from her makeovers were mind boggling!). I knew she was working on her product line, but never checked in to see the outcome... Looks like she is on a third version (iiid?). Would like to learn more from a user.
Thank you!! I can try to do them a little longer. Some viewers don't like them longer so I try to have a good balance. You can also pause the video if you need to view it a little longer.
I bought all of your favorite one except the lighter coral one a couple weeks ago. And now after watching this video, I need the yellow and that orange red one (the Chi one). Lol thanks for the comparisons. Love when you do them! ❤🥰🤗 Maybe I need that dark bright blue one too......I love blue in all shades and I have that tile to a warm heart or whatever but the new blue in this collection is calling to me since it's brighter. Ack!!! Lol 😂😂😂
I don’t mind doing three coats as long as it’s not a finicky streaky mess. And that third coat is trying to hide all that. But polishes that need 3 just to cover nail line and some bald spots. I don’t mind that at all. Hotter Than You Pink is my top three OPI pinks!
I own "Hotter than You Pink", but I've never worn it. Looks beautiful though! As for this collection, I find it kinda boring. It's like OPI mixed 2 or 3 old collections together and then just rereleased it with new names. And honestly even the names feel recycled. I really appreciate your swatching and comparisons. It saved me money. :)
Wow I have hotter than you pink. I love it but haven’t worn it for a long time. Will get that one out for spring summer. I’m the same as you with the metallic shimmer gold shades. Tired of them 😕.

Ulta has a few of these on sale/clearance for $2.63! I got me casa and viva OPI :)

Same! I only pull them out a few times a year. Thanks for your support!
@@GoPolished You didn't swatch "Verde Nice to meet you"....
Love the swatches! These colors look great on you. 💕
Thank you!
Hello! I am writing to tell you how much I appreciate your Channel..I love your personality and any tips and ideas are SO appreciated! I struggle with choosing colors~ Bless you, and Thank you👱♀️👑💅
That is so sweet! Thank you so much! I am glad my videos are helpful for you. 😊
Thanks for sticking comparisons in there, always helpful 🤗😘 appreciate your reviews 😀
You are welcome! Thanks for being here!
👏👏👏👏👏💕
I love the Suzi Slinging Mezcal. I like the pinks, mints, and white purples too. I don't go for too dark of tones.
I wish they were more affordable here in the Netherlands, they're about €15 here and it's insane >_
Oh wow. Yeah, that's expensive.
I'll always love metallics. I'm a 90's kid so I grew up around metallics and those old school frosted and pearly shades. What's new to me are the jelly textures and flakey holo things from indie brands, but I'm acquiring a taste for them.
Yeah, it's good to branch out and try new things here and there. Thanks for watching!
Even though blue is my favorite color, I cannot do blue nail polish, I feel so uncomfortable and self-conscience with it on. But give every damn coral color ever! Will you be doing a review of the Essie 2020 Valentine’s collection?
I don't think so. I don't like to spend money on big collections. If someone sent it to me I would though.
Great review Laurie! And thank you so much for the great comparisons also! What polish is on your nails in this video? It is so pretty :)
It's from the new Essie Gel Couture Collection it's called 'Not What it Seams'
I must know what polish you are wearing in the video!😍 my favorites in this collection are; mi casa, verde nice, mural mural, mariachi and Mexico city💖 Not a big fan of metallic ones either.
Carolina Noriega I would also like to know which polish she is wearing 😍
I think it's "From dusk till dawn" from Morgan Taylor, just saw she reviewed the whole collection.
@@beatricroft thanks I will check it out but I still hope she replies to confirm😊💖
Carolina Noriega you are welcome 🤗😘 I also hope she will confirm soon 😄
Yes I want to know too!!

Oh that's a good thought! I am not sure. I bet it might.
Love you swatch comparisons. I’m excited about this collection. Love the metallic’s. Love blues and corals too.
Thanks for watching. I knew there were some metallic lovers out there!
I have "Hotter Than You Pink"...I do love shimmers. I have owned "Kiss Me On My Tulips"....loved the shade but, creams are not my jam. So, I may be picking up "Telenovela Me About It" because it has more interest for me than a straight cream.
Oh yes, great choice! I love a good midtoned pink.
What’s on your nails in the video? Loving this collection!
It's Essie Gel Couture in the shade 'Not What It Seams'.
I’m not a fan of metallic gold specifically...it was on clearance on ultas site but I didn’t get it...I’ve got a couple golds already, and don’t need more...I like metallic polishes in deeper tones

Oh interested in a maskara review.

I knew she was working on her product line, but never checked in to see the outcome... Looks like she is on a third version (iiid?). Would like to learn more from a user.
I put up a little Maskcara demo on my Instagram page today. Did you see it? Yes, Cara is so brilliant!! I love the make up so much!
@@GoPolished yes! Thanks. Just watched it as I was making tomorrow's lunches. Looking forward to you getting your new maskara products!
Love love your videos! Would you mind showing the color comparisons just a bit longer, please?
Thank you!! I can try to do them a little longer. Some viewers don't like them longer so I try to have a good balance. You can also pause the video if you need to view it a little longer.

I know! Hard decisions. What did you decide?
@@GoPolished I ordered the yellow and orange red one along with the ones I already had. Lol
Hello!
How long Do you dry the OPI Polish at your manicure?
I let it dry about a minute between each coat and then after applying a fast dry topcoat I let it dry for at least 1/2 hr.
Can you tell me if the one with the flakies is hard to remove? I hate having removing glitter polishes when the glitter is tough to get off!
i hate glitter because of removal, flakies remove easy- i love them!
I am not sure I didn't ever let it dry completely. You could soak the glitter off just like you soak of gel polish. I have heard that helps.
Love your reviews. Thanks!
Oh thank yo so much!
I don’t mind doing three coats as long as it’s not a finicky streaky mess. And that third coat is trying to hide all that. But polishes that need 3 just to cover nail line and some bald spots. I don’t mind that at all.
Hotter Than You Pink is my top three OPI pinks!
Same!!
please do a video on the maskcara makeup I have never heard of it
I will!
I really like the Mural Mural on the wall..I have crepey hands, no matter the care I give them🙄 I need to stay away from alot of the shimmers..
I own "Hotter than You Pink", but I've never worn it. Looks beautiful though! As for this collection, I find it kinda boring. It's like OPI mixed 2 or 3 old collections together and then just rereleased it with new names. And honestly even the names feel recycled. I really appreciate your swatching and comparisons.

Good! I am so glad they helped you decide. Yea they definitely have some similar shades that's for sure.
Hue is the artist is love 😍!
Oooohhhh, and the mint one 😀
Yes! It's SO good!
I think I am going to pick up "My Chihuahua Doesn't Bite"..
I have “Hotter Than You Pink!” :)
Awesome! It's such a fun summer color!
Wow I have hotter than you pink. I love it but haven’t worn it for a long time. Will get that one out for spring summer. I’m the same as you with the metallic shimmer gold shades. Tired of them 😕.
Yes, it's so fun to wear in the summer! Be sure to pull it out. Yes, so tired of metallics 😒
Don’t like the Metallica at all. Loved that light lavender. 😍 💅🏽
Good to know~we definitely have the same taste!
AGREE, and being that I'm 54yrs young..I want to steer away from shimmery formulas
Michelle R Jackson ha! I’m 52. I know what you mean. 😊
