I just received this today and it was such an awesome surprise! surrealism is amazing. I gotta say, I signed up for Colorpass this year because I was in love with the Impressionism collection, and I couldn't be happier with all of these collections so far! basing them on art movements is probably the best thing ever for an avid art fan and nail polish collector like me!
The Green/Olive shade is the perfect definition of Prugly 😂 For some reason I am very, VERY, drawn to it, despite usually disliking 'murky' shades 😂 On the whole this collection is not my vibe but I appreciate seeing the interesting shimmers - much more exiting than 6 straight cremes 👏
I got my color pass yesterday and have been curious to see it swatched. Most of these are colors that look horrendous with my skin tone. I recognize this as an interesting collection, but for me to wear, it is a huge disappointment. Thanks for getting your swatches up so fast! Oh, and I’m not a matte person either! I sure hope the winter collection is redeeming for me.
I love that you call it a *bone* shade - that is by far my favourite. I looooove a bone shade. Such a good grey too. I dunno, I love these kinds of shades! Those reds though 🤤
Ceci n'est pas blanc is pronounce seh-see nay pah blahn. It means "this is not white". It definitely looks like a bone color. This is a great collection, and it's making me want to get Color Pass again.
Eeeeeekkkkk!!! So excited for the bone grey! I remember when OPI came out with Skull and Gloss Bones from the Pirates of the Caribbean and looooved it!
I was a bit "meh" on the collection as a whole when I got it. I think I was hoping for some spicy jewel-tone Fall shades. But there are some beautiful polishes overall. The burgundy and chocolate, followed by the teal are my favorites. The bone might grow on me, and I will have to try the green and see how I like it on. ~Caroline
Thanks for doing this. My color pass is due to arrive today. The only ones I like are the two shimmers and the "freebies" don't impress me much. This is the last box of my year--I don't believe I'll be resubscribing, as I wound up getting rid of quite a lot of the polishes. Better to wait and spend on only those I want.
WOW, I have been searching all over for a spoiler of this collection, so I am very glad you swatched it so fast. I absolutely love it in your swatches. It might almost rival the Desert Muse collection, which was my favorite ever! Thanks so much :)
Oooh I’m considering getting all of them for the first time ever! I’m not crazy interested in the cremes but they were pretty. Thanks for the awesome review Phoebe!
Awesome swatches! The first one translates to This Is Not White. I am really lovin' the 2 shimmers even though I'm not a brown or greeny teal lover...😊
I am loving this color story and the colors all sing autumn to me! I always appreciate your swatches and hearing your thoughts. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks for a great and honest review!!! I love your photos, and find them very color accurate to what I see on my own skin tone- which is very helpful especially on the neutral shades like Dreamers awake and Ceci. I went over to Head2Toe to see if I wanted to purchase just a couple. But their new orly shades are selling for almost retail- so I ust renewed my color pass. I love the anticipation of those quarterly boxes- even if I only enjoy a few of the curated shades. Thanks again, always look forward to your reviews!!
I resubbed to colorpass because of the sneak peek I saw of this. I love this fall collection, it is really different from what I have. I do see that Essie’s formulas are fabulous but I am not even tempted by their fall collection. I will probably wear the green in a skittle, not alone.
I will definitely be getting Dreamers Awake and Stop the Clock. Metamorphosis is pretty but I'll have to think about whether I'll actually wear it or not. Maybe as a toenail polish. Dreamers Awake is perfect for work and reminds me of Essie Master Plan that I've been looking for a dupe for but have yet to exactly find. Thanks as always!
I am soooo into most of this collection! The greens and Stop the Clock have me obsessed. The Bone white, I would love if it glowed in the dark. ✨ edit: Just signed up for the colorpass myself... Thanks for your very helpful videos!! ♥
Did you just get yours yesterday too? I love this collection!! Even that weird brownish green one♥my favorite is the teal with the copper shimmer though!
Hater/yuck person here for the green colour :-) Sorry, its a dirty olive colour that I don't think I would ever wear, and I've worn all sort of colours. I found the first three colours terribly boring for a collection called Surrealist: crude white, grey and yucky green, seriously??? Good thing it all goes up from there. Metamorphosis is super interesting with that contrast between the teal base and the shimmers. Persistent Memory is a gorgeous red, its pretty but nothing really different from several of my stash, if you don't have many reds then yes it might be worth getting. And Stop the Clock is definitely my favourite of the bunch, those gorgeous profound shimmers. Lovely! Its also looks really nice mattified, I would go with a gold stamping over it. So um, yeah, 2 out of six that I would get, Metamorphosis and Stop the Clock. Thanks for the great swatches.
My color pass finally came and I love it! I tried the polish remover and it is very drying. Maybe I'll try it with an additive, and then see how it does removing reflective glitter.
Thanks for swatching! I really like this collection! I'm not normally a matte person but I'm excited to have a matte top coat in my collection to play around with.
I keep checking the front porch, supposed to arrive today! So excited about these, especially the mossy green, cant get enough of those! I dont have a bone or a neutral grey that I love and I know these will be great! Fingers crossed for a minimalism holiday!
Excited for my box to arrive, whenever that may be, it usually gets to me very late. I think I’m going to love all of them, however the bone one probably won’t look good on me. These are really my type of colors. I’m not sure how I feel about the bonus matte top coat, as I’ve never tried my polishes matte before. I just love the super glossy look. Yours is the first review I’ve seen, thanks for getting it up so quickly! I’ve been dying to see these swatched!
That green 😍😍😍 thanks for the review! It’s interesting that they would include a gel nail remover as a bonus item in a box full of regular nail polish. Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me because I bet most people who subscribe to this box generally is regular nail polish instead of gel polish that needs a super strong remover? Idk 🤷♀️
BTW, my color pass hasn't even shipped yet. GRRRRRRRRR. The last three are all win for me. Metamorphosis is my favorite of all the polishes in this collection, and I'm good with Persistent Memory, but I have polishes like it already. Looks a little redder than what I have, though, so that's good. I'm already slotting Stop the Clock as this year's Thanksgiving polish. Perfect for that holiday! Also v. happy to know a matte top coat is the bonus. YAY! The first two colors are okay, sure, gotta have some nudes/neutrals in a collection, but the colors are both done to death. The third one. Oh dear. I don't think so. That color won't suit my complexion at all. I won't say what it looks like, either, because that's not nice.
I painted my friends nails with persistent memory last night. Did you find the formula to be thick borderline gloopy? I love the color, so did she but I'm concerned it'll go bad soon. I was surprised. I've not had that experience before.
Ugh. I was so excited to get these but seeing them here, now I’m not. There is not a single one of these I’d buy on its own. Maaaaayyybeee the gray. Just not my jam. I was hoping for pretty and unexpected bright cremes for Fall from Orly. I don’t like brush-strokey shimmers and sorry but I HATE that gross green 🤢 It looks like swamp sludge. It’s collections like these that make me want to cancel Color Pass…but I’ll hold out hope for the next one 🤞 because I usually really enjoy Orly collections. They do make beautiful polishes!
I know you posted this nearly a week after colorpass was ~supposed~ to ship, but mine didn’t ship til Monday and then was further delayed, so your thumbnail spoiled the surprise for me :/ you might consider greying out the thumbnail for colorpass reviews specifically so as not to spoil it for those of us who like the experience of the mystery.
That teal is a must have!
The olive green is EVERYTHING!!... 😊

I would happily buy them all except the green.

I clicked on this video right away - the colors jumped out at me! I like how they all look together. Personally I love the green!
Awesome collection. The one I’m actually excited for this fall.
I clicked on this so fast! Mine just shipped out
Ditto😂
Ditto for me too!

Thanks, the last 3 colors were great! I am tempted!
The bone color is named “It’s Not White” in French. Fall polishes are not my favorites but your swatches are beautiful, as always!
Thanks for the translation! Was wondering
WOW, I have been searching all over for a spoiler of this collection, so I am very glad you swatched it so fast. I absolutely love it in your swatches. It might almost rival the Desert Muse collection, which was my favorite ever! Thanks so much :)
i need the green and brown ones 😍
I NEED Metamorphosis!
Metamorphosis is my favourite! ❤️
I also received the Genius Remover and matte top coat. This is a beautiful collection.
Oh, that greens is so deliciously prugly, I LOVE it!
So excited to try It's Just an Illusion from the summer collection over Persistent Memory! 😍
The last polish looks like the opi every month is octoberfest
Mine is on its way. These are not polishes I would generally buy, but I think I'll be pleasantly surprised when I put them on my nails!
Oooh I’m considering getting all of them for the first time ever! I’m not crazy interested in the cremes but they were pretty. Thanks for the awesome review Phoebe!

Thank you for getting this up fast! I have been dying to see some proper swatches!
I like the collection. Cremes are always good bases for toppers or nail art. Elysian Fields and Stop the Clock are my picks. TFS 😻 Britt
Thank you 😊 Phoebe. I have to watch this video again. I haven't decided 💅🏻 which color(s) are for me.

Agree this was a poor bonus item to include.
The bottle says lacquer AND gel polish remover so it’s apparently “all purpose.”
BTW, my color pass hasn't even shipped yet. GRRRRRRRRR.

Well I do hate that green LOL, but Stop the Clock was GORGEOUS!
I love the two shimmers the best. What color polish are you wearing in this video? 😁
Is there a specific base and topcoat you use from Orly? Thanks
I painted my friends nails with persistent memory last night. Did you find the formula to be thick borderline gloopy?
I love the color, so did she but I'm concerned it'll go bad soon. I was surprised. I've not had that experience before.
Do you put the second coat on right away or after the first coat dries? Looks like right away.
I just googled "Ceci N'est pas blanc" am am guessing the name means something like "That's not white" or "not quite white" in french lol!
Is this subscription available in EU?
Acetone additive?
I like it….👍🏽
❤️
Ceci n'est pas blanc is pronounced "Sehsee neh pah blanc" It means "This is not white."
And it’s a pun on the “ceci n’est pas un pipe” art by Magritte ;-)
I love the colors but now I'm disappointed about the cremes. 😊
Ugh. I was so excited to get these but seeing them here, now I’m not. There is not a single one of these I’d buy on its own. Maaaaayyybeee the gray. Just not my jam.

Translation: This is not white. 😁
I don't love this collection
