THANK YOU! I feel like there isn't a lot of over lap between people who enjoy nail polish and understand crypto. so many of the people who I watch who reviewed this collection just didn't get the names. but for those of us who understand, it just comes off in bad taste. Essie also had a target release that had crypto inspired names. it just comes off as ick with all the scams and rugpulls that happen so often in the crypto space.
this 10000% !! I really couldve gone on more of a rant but yeah I figured the majority of people wouldn’t have gotten it so I didnt want it falling on deaf ears 😅 I REALLY hope opi isnt planning on sharing an NFT collection with us anytime soon and that they were just trying to be cute with this theme lol 😩🫣
I, too, was put off by the theme and the names. OPI hit a sour note with this IMO. But the shades were lovely. There were a few too many pearl shades for my taste- not that I hate pearls. I just don’t like a lot of them. I do love what you showed us with sponging them which is something I’ve been plan to do with my pearl shades when I begin to wear them this spring. I do appreciate your comparisons section! This is very helpful. I know that is a lot of work and time spent so I am especially grateful to you for doing the comparisons, Stefanie! I very much like that you don’t just show them in the bottles but actually put them side by side on your nail. That’s where the real information is found so, again, thank you for doing that. Spring is around the corner…almost! So Happy Spring! I’m looking forward to many more spring collections from you!♥️🌷💐
I’m glad I’m not alone 😅 definitely just trying to look past the theme and appreciate them for being cute springy shades hehe. totally agree about the pearl shades, even though i generally like the colors they felt too samey to be in the same collection! & yes sponging really works wonders 😍 So happy you found the comparisons helpful!! I appreciate the recognition of the time & effort it takes to put them together, it almost takes longer than just swatching the collection! 😝 but always so worth it bc of how helpful I know it will be :) so excited for spring to arrive soon!! 🌷☀️🪺
I was thrilled to hear your crypto, NFT, and MLM mini rants. Dashing Diva almost turning into an MLM has led me down an anti-MLM rabbit hole on RUclips lately, but I feel like crypto and NFTs are everywhere and it’s so icky. Hopefully crypto gets some regulation since I don’t think it’s going away anytime soon unfortunately. Aaaaanyway, thank you as always for the review and comparisons! It was kind of a weird collection…. It honestly felt like there were some leftovers from other seasons and then the weird names…. I’m like, was all of OPI out sick or something and the few remaining employees were scrambling to put this together?? 🤷♀️ Hopefully they’re back on track next release!
haha thank you!! this really was such a weird move for OPI.. I’m hoping that this doesn’t mean they’re going to announce their own NFT collection or something soon. Maybe they were just trying to be cute and “fit in” lol 🙈 I haven’t heard of the Dashing Diva MLM story though! will definitely have to look into that 👀 Totally agree though, the best we can hope for is just some regulation in these industries! but LOL I’m glad i’m not the only one feeling weird about these, aside from the theme! honestly the way some of these reminded me of some of the holiday shades, it made me wonder if these were the prototypes before?? I’m almost nervous to see what we’ll get next from them lol
Thank you for continuing to produce such inspiring and relaxing content. I enjoy your aesthetic so much -- a calm, reassuring voice, soft music, and you just seem like a sweet and loving person. As for the nail polishes, I feel like there are some pretty shades in this release, but of course I have many similars. Either that, or I wouldn't wear certain colors. I'll never use up the polish I already own, so I can't be buying more that are too close to what I already have.
thank you for such a sweet comment Cat!! 🥰 I really do appreciate that so much & am so happy you enjoy watching me & my videos 🥹💗 totally understand how you feel about this lineup though and having similar shades. I don’t have exact dupes for these but they still felt very much the same where I don’t need them both 🙈 it’s great you don’t buy polishes that you know you don’t need! I definitely would love to be able to use up more of what I have in my collection, but it’s tough 😅
I so appreciate you taking the time to do this and the comparison shots. I picked up two of these shades from watching your video (spring break the internet and I sold my crypto). I wonder how OPI Infinite shine 'I believe in manicures' from Breakfast at Tiffany's 2016 December collection compares to 'NFTease me'.
thank you so much! it definitely can be pretty time consuming to do comparisons alone haha but I know they’re helpful! Those are cute shades, I esp love Spring Break the Internet 💖 but hmm, from looking at photos I think I Believe in Manicures is a little brighter/less pastel than NFTease Me? in some lighting they look nearly the same but then theres photos where it looks super bright 🤔
I love your videos so much that I watch them despite not being in the market for the presented collections - LOL. I don‘t understand the composition of this collection, the names are in my opinion in the category of trying too hard in everything. If any I would get the skyblue and light green shade (I couldn‘t memorize the names, I am sorry). And lastly with 40+ years in the business this is what Opi comes up with???
oh thank you so much Christine!! I really appreciate that hehe. and yes I saw OPI just announced yesterday they are launching an NFT collection 🤦🏻♀️ but apparently some of the designers they collaborated with for that also collaborated on these shades (if I understood it correctly) - I’m not really a fan of this move by them but yes, the colors themselves are very pretty for spring, esp the blue & green!
Oh I super love the teal one! I had to look up NFT. I’m still not sure what they are! 😆🤷🏼♀️ I also really loved the yellow and the orange in this collection!
that one is soo pretty!! sadly NFTs are just pretty synonymous with scams so maybe that’s all you need to know for now lol 😬 but so glad you like the yellow and orange too! they definitely got me in the mood for warmer weather 🏖️
Wow you put so much effort into this one! Big kudos! I'm very much on the same page on this, I don't care for the theme and that really drags it down in general for me. I also feel like OPI is just easily out ranked by an gazillion other indie brands, so I don't really go here anymore. But I will say that I enjoy a good pearl finish, I'm probably one of the rare ones. XD
thank you so much! yeah i pretty much feel the same, i used to love OPI and their collections inspired by countries/cities but lately i haven’t been as excited by them.. indies really are so much more fun and interesting lol. and some pearly shades are really pretty!! i feel like they could work if done well
I really appreciate you calling out crypto-craziness! Anywhere people are hearing the message that they need to be VERY careful about these unregulated markets is great!
my thoughts exactly!! I know they usually have these punny names, but I really lost it at the description of I Sold My Crypto… I think they were trying to be cute but failed to read the room lol 😬
Love the effort to show comparisons! It really helps to understand the colors.
yay I love to hear that!! so happy you found them helpful :)

Love, love, love all the pearls!
yay glad to hear that you do! theyre so soft and pretty for the season 🍑🌸

of course!! it would feel irresponsible not to 😅
I Sold My Crypto is very sheer, but it works well as a topper.
yes for sure! I bet it would look really cool over darker colors 😍
I don't understand OPI giving names to some of these polishes that are scam related as that is not funny. What were they thinking? 🤔
my thoughts exactly!! I know they usually have these punny names, but I really lost it at the description of I Sold My Crypto… I think they were trying to be cute but failed to read the room lol 😬
Funny, the swedish brand Depends spring collection is all bleak colours. Rather boring 🤪
aw so sad!! spring should have color since everything is coming back to life 😝🐛🦋
