You'll see some disparity between the color in the video vs. the swatch photo. Always trust the photo! I adjusted the video to the best of my ability (it's usually Kyle's job) and some of the brighter colors still weren't matching up. Also keep in mind that everyone's phone and computer screens show color differently. It's always best to look up swatches from a few different swatchers if you're unsure about a color :)
My God, I really like what you recommend, very beautiful. I tried to dry my nails quickly, so I bought the Makartt Air Nail Dryer, which is very easy to use. I have used it for half a year. Recommend to girls！

You cracked me up with your immediate Pacific Blue comparison. That's actually the shade that I knew I was going to get when I saw the photos on OPI's IG posts. It's definitely not a dupe, but I apparently can't turn down a blue polish. 🤷♀️ Also, I know you always feel behind when you post stuff like this, but I really appreciate you including the Ulta exclusives. I feel like I hardly ever see anyone else swatching those, so I appreciate the extra effort. ☺️
I just live your search videos and it doesn’t bother me in the slightest that you repeat a lot of the same phrases. Your searches are always just so clear and in focus. Thanks for posting!
For those of you wanting this collection, wait until the next one is ready to come out and then check TJ Maxx. They'll have the lacquers for 3.99$. Also, since the Grease collection came out, check JCPenney salon area. I got mine for $7.00 per bottle.
I tip I learned for polishes with thin formula’s like Suzi Chases Portu-Geese is to turn your hand upside down so the polished nails are facing towards the ground. This uses gravity to keep it from pooling around the nails cuticles and sides. It works really well for me.
I just picked up two of the Ulta exclusives. I’ve gotten into the habit of waiting for your swatches and reviews before purchasing from new collections. I’m excited for “And The Raven Cried Give Me More.” Huge fan of dark purples.
“My filler phrase when I can’t cut the swatch short” 😂😂😂hahaha I can relate! Great swatches! I bought a few of these haven’t tried em yet but I’m excited for the blue 💙
This is the first video of yours I have ever watched. I was looking for a good nail polish video and just wanted to let you know at 15 seconds in I already decided to subscribe. Great introduction and presence on screen. Looking forward to seeing more content!
Damn OPI is on top of it this year super early to the Spring/Summer game, kind of loving "Closer Than You Might Belem" it is so gorgeous perfect aquamarine color.
Sally Beauty also has 3 exclusive polishes. I don't know if they're available in stores or if they are just online. They are "I Absolutely Amador-ya", "Set Apart by Tile Art", and "Hittin' the Portuguese Pavement".
Great video! My theory is that the Ulta Exclusives were the runners up from the collection that didn't quite make the cut into the actual collection. Thus the formula issues and repetitive colors. Although that last polish looks like it was left over from fall or winter!
Ugh why do I always like the Ulta exclusives when I know I can’t get them! Thanks for the review, it’s made me decide on a few that I wasn’t fully sold on.
I feel like this collection is similar to the Fiji collection, but with good formulas. Thank you OPI!! I really love this collection. The yellow, 2 bright pink colors, teal were my favorites!😘💕
Jess, I think you apply EVERY polish practically perfect! I love that you paint more than 1 nail! You truly work it-(lol!) with all formulas and irritating brushes... the one’s we cannot stand- you know?!!😉 I enjoy all of your swatches/reviews/opinions!🖤🖤🖤 Thank you! ::Hugs:: =^.^= How’s your cat doing?
Now Museum Now You Don't is actually my favourite! 😍 it's unique to me and though it's not a spring colour to me at all I can see myself wearing it at the end of summer, maybe late august/early september when it's still hot outside... I think this one I will pick up
Your hair & makeup are gorgeous! Well...you are gorgeous! I love your videos. You are always so helpful, informative & have a great personality. Your opinion helps me decide which polishes to purchase. I really don't NEED any more polishes, but what can I say? I'm a nail polish addict & have been obsessed with polishing my nails since I was 4-5 years old. I'm now 43. Lol Sounds crazy, but it's true!
Great review Jess. This collection is not very exciting which is a pity in one way, good in another as I can't afford it! But I do like the turquoise polish you picked out an also We seafood and eat it. Thanks so much for swatching these for us :)
Am I the only one that is really disappointed with this collection? I feel like I already have all these colours, nothing really special in my opinion.
Bethany Rosier no you aren’t. I have five of these colors from different brands from OPI. I’ve had them for a couple of years now. That’s going from memory. There may be more since I have a large collection of polishes. I’ve been disappointed with OPI lately. They seems to recycle the same colors and change them just enough to get away with giving it a new name. I’m ready for something new and fresh.
same old colors. I am not sure they can be so unique at this point unless they start taking some advice from indies. I only want these for the names and collection because I am going there for special vacation. If it weren't for that I would not even bother. I'm glad I found 3 of them at Marshalls for $3.99.
I've already bought a couple of the shades. And now tempted by a couple more. I'm now very curious about the exclusive Sally Beauty shades. I haven't seen swatches of 3 from there yet. (A pink, a lighter maybe blue/green, and a reddish color) But I'm a simple girl. And definitely not one to go to three places to get a collection. Kind of like what Sinful Colors have been doing with theirs.
I didn't either until this past Friday when I checked for the main 12. Here are the colors: I Absolutely Amador-ya Set Apart by Tile Art Hitting the Portuguese Pavement I found them only in nail lacquer and first time I saw Sally's exclusive as well.
I use the OPI infinite shine Pretty Pink Perseveres on my toes but I use gel dip powder on my fingers can you recommend any dip powder close to that color?
Great video, as always. I’m kind of disappointed about this collection. I liked the blue one, but I already have so many blues. Also liked the Ulta Raven shade, but not enough to get off my butt and go to Ulta. The other colors seemed blah to me. I think China Glaze will be more of a WOW.
Did you know there are also three Sallys exclusives ?! I hate that they do that especially since I'm not in the US it makes them so difficult to get my hands on.
How do you make the top line of the polish (top of the nail near the cuticle) look so clean and straight? When you're applying the polish I can see it's not as perfect as on the photos of the swatches, so is there an extra step you do in between?
Maybe a dumb question, but why do you paint your nails a second time to take the pictures? In other words, why don’t you take the pictures immediately after painting them for the swatching video?
They're an official OPI distributor. My first order from them (back when they were btysales.com, before they had to make a separate site for non-professionals in order to keep their contract with OPI...idk, it's confusing) was the Hello Kitty collection. I had 2 mixups with my order but they were corrected. After that they've been sending me the newest collections to review because they send them out super early, which is great for a reviewer, and PR samples directly from OPI are impossible to rely on. OPI sends them out incredibly late or not at all and the PR contact changes every few months so you never know who to chase down about it. aaaaanyway..lol... You can order from anywhere you're comfortable with. This collection is available all over in the U.S. at this point. My general rule is if the website takes PayPal, I'll risk the purchase since PayPal is so good about covering the buyer if anything goes south :)
Katie Brunson I've ordered from them 4 or 5 times after hearing about them from Jess. They're always great and very responsive to emails. One time they were out of an OPI polish I ordered. Instead of emailing me to see what I wanted to do or just leaving it off the order like most companies, they just upgraded it to the same shade in the infinite shine line, didn't charge me the extra money for the infinite shine, and hand wrote a note on my invoice. It was $1 difference that I would have gladly paid if they emailed me because it was the best solution, but it was so nice that they just took control of the issue instead of holding up my order. Another time, I ordered a single bottle of one of the colored OPI nail envy polishes. They didn't have the single bottle in stock, so they sent a duo with the polish I ordered and another bottle of nail envy at the same price as the single. They probably could have easily just broke up the duo and sold both polishes individually, but they gave me the deal instead. I will continue to order from them! The only downside I see is having to spend so much to get free shipping, but I get around that by letting my wish list grow before placing the order.
Jess, I just wanted to get back with you and say thank YOU for getting back with me. I truly value your opinion when it comes to purchasing polishes. Thank you for providing us with such amazing reviews. You're amazing!
How close would you say "Can I Bairro This Shade" is to "Gelato On My Mind" from the Italy collection from a while back? I have that one and love it, but I remember that it's a bit chalky. This one doesn't seem like a great improvement on formula so if the color is really close to Gelato On My Mind, I may pass on it (I LOVE blues, teals, etc. so I was tempted by this one but then I realized it might be a dupe).
lol...$19 for shipping to Canada total Ulta charge for 1 bottle of OPI's Ulta And The Raven cried Give Me More" is $32.00 OUCH...obviously I didn't complete the order..I have been ripped off before on shipping..but seriously? $19.00 for one bottle nail polish just 50 miles above the US border???

jessFACE90 The slightly pink copper shade DEF showed pinker in swatch.
Thanks Jess, your videos are very much worth waiting for ;)
I saw on IG there are 3 Sally's exclusives too! Can you swatch those too maybe?
@JessFACE90 "And the Raven cried give me Moore" looks really pretty!! (yes, that is how it's supposed to be spelled)
My God, I really like what you recommend, very beautiful. I tried to dry my nails quickly, so I bought the Makartt Air Nail Dryer, which is very easy to use. I have used it for half a year. Recommend to girls！
I have to say Jess...after watching sooooooo many swatch videos, yours are still my favorite videos!!! They are the best. Thank you for being awesome!
No, thank YOU!
jessFACE90 your the only one I don't mute too 😂😂😂 but seriously your amazing. Ulta shipping time is seriously irritating. Lol.

usually NOT an OPI fan at all but a LOT of these colors are really pretty and quite unique. Finally impressed with an OPI collection

Preciosos colores, Jas, gracias por tu tiempo y disposicion. Un feliz dia!!😀💅🏻

Naomi Rivera I though I was the only one that thought that
Naomi Rivera it actually does. The colors are a little bit richer.
I love that you anticipated the SH PB comparison questions 😄

Lynette Michele vv
Ooh I really want Tile Art to Warm Your Heart! Thanks for showing it next to Pacific Blue, you read my mind lol! Great swatches as always, Jess!
Haha. I love how you always pull out ‘Pacific blue’ whenever there’s a blue in a collection. Also.....can’t wait for that China glaze collection. 😀
Yes, spring colours! I'm so over this -40 weather!
Now Museum Now You Don't is actually my favourite! 😍 it's unique to me and though it's not a spring colour to me at all I can see myself wearing it at the end of summer, maybe late august/early september when it's still hot outside... I think this one I will pick up
You are AWESOME! I will definitely buy some---or maybe all of the wares depicted. I didn't think I'd want them all until I saw them!
Great review! I really like this collection! Also, the blonde ombre looks super pretty on you!
I really liked No turning back from pink street, it was def my favorite. Tyfs
I would really love if u do a all nude color nail polish collection.. with close up..... love. Ur videos...
I’m rocking the Tile Art..., and I love it! It really pops!
I just picked up some of these at TJMaxx for $4 ea. Closer then you might Belem is beautiful and exactly the teal beach shade I was looking for
I LOVEEEEE YOUR SWATCHES AND REVIEWS!!! i love to use them as reference when i buy polishes so thank you so much for your videos

Could you make a video on how you maintain your perfect nail shape?
Great review Jess. This collection is not very exciting which is a pity in one way, good in another as I can't afford it! But I do like the turquoise polish you picked out an also We seafood and eat it. Thanks so much for swatching these for us :)
-Lisbonnnnnnn :)
I'm from the Azores and so happy to see some portuguese love! Great vid!
I want that blue one! (Not that I don't have enough bright blue polishes)
I love your hair and makeup in this vid! And your nails of course. 💖
I LOVEEE a A Red Vival City and Title Art to Warm Your Heart

Well, I sat here with a notepad to write down shades I want, but I have SO many similar colors in my collection.
There are also 3 shades exclusive to Sally's also.
Ugghhhhhhh....I hate not having everything in the video! I didn't even know Sally's exclusives were a thing.
I didn't either until this past Friday when I checked for the main 12. Here are the colors:
I Absolutely Amador-ya
Set Apart by Tile Art
Hitting the Portuguese Pavement
I found them only in nail lacquer and first time I saw Sally's exclusive as well.
The ones that were Ulta exclusive last year could be found as exact dupes in clearance.
Domoneque Guerrieri I wish they would be available in the uk ;-;
Okay, why aren't they available in the UK?
ugh i wish opi was cruelty free, i love that color closer than you might belem
Can you review Salon Perfect nail polishes?
Tile art to warm yor heart...I think I need one!
I love your swatches Jess!!!!
Lisbon wants moor is my fave. Sooo perfect
Those neons are gorgeous!
As soon as I saw the blue one, I knew you’d whip out Pacific Blue!! 😅
Any dupe for You've Got Nata On Me??? Loved that one but I can't afford OPI.
Loved the raven color
P.S. I think my fav is the very last one... the purpily one... your fav! Very deep, but the same, don’t want to go into lighter shades... yet!🖤
Can you review the new China Glaze Only Chic Physique Collection please?
I'm liking those pale nude ones and the blue one!
Can you tell me if one of those colors is number 322?
Hey Jess, did you know that Sally’s came out with 3 exclusive polishes to this collection? I picked up 2 out of 3 yesterday... they are beautiful :-)
I use the OPI infinite shine Pretty Pink Perseveres on my toes but I use gel dip powder on my fingers can you recommend any dip powder close to that color?
What eye shadow are you wearing on your lids? Very pretty and flattering!
Your videos are so helpful. Thanks so much! Is it just me or are all these colors pretty generic?
Hi! Great video!! What base/nail filler do you use to make it look so smooth??? I need a good nail filler.. Thanks!
l have a fair skin,what are the colours gd on me?
do you know any opi that can be a dupe for the fluff ball from I scream nails?? please 🙏🏼
Great video, as always. I’m kind of disappointed about this collection. I liked the blue one, but I already have so many blues. Also liked the Ulta Raven shade, but not enough to get off my butt and go to Ulta. The other colors seemed blah to me. I think China Glaze will be more of a WOW.
I LOVE your swatches, Jess! You are AMAZING!!!
Thank you!
Did you know there are also three Sallys exclusives ?! I hate that they do that especially since I'm not in the US it makes them so difficult to get my hands on.
Tbh none of these shout buy to me 😂 waiting for Essie desert mirage to come to uk
I'm going to Lisbon in May so I feel like I just have to get some of these
I am soooooooooo ready for this collection! Love your videos. Thank you xxxxx
which is your fav ?
I love that you compare to Pacific Blue
Ahhhh good old Pacific Blue!!! ❤️ Do you know of any dupes for that polish?!?!
Destiny Schlegel I know this comment is a year old. But Moonshine Mani duped Pacific Blue in her Project Dupe It collection.
Oh nooo I just realized I bought the infinate shine version of Sun, Sea and Sand in my Pants. I hope it's as decent of a formula.
Thanks so much, Jess. I really appreciate your effort. 🤗
Beautiful collection! 😘😘😘
Great review, I think these are all really pretty!
im wearing Lisbon wants moor and its so pretty :)))
how do you compair the two white ones with "my boyfreind's skaled walls" ?
Tease! That China Glaze vid better be coming like. ...umm...now? LOL
It's done! End of the week :)
jessFACE90 YAY! 😆
What tools do you recommend for cleaning up next to the cuticle? Is it a brush?
I love your Hair lighter 👌😍
Can I Bairro This Shade is my favorite.
Wow perfect application
How do you make the top line of the polish (top of the nail near the cuticle) look so clean and straight? When you're applying the polish I can see it's not as perfect as on the photos of the swatches, so is there an extra step you do in between?
Yes! I dip a small concealer brush in acetone and clean up the line :)
Thanks! I'll try that :)
You forgot the 3 sally beauty exclusives
Someone help me out! I just went to polishpick.com and could only find the XOXO collection...nothing from the Lisbon collection.
Cecile Estelle I’m looking at it right on the top of the front page 😊
m.imgur.com/a/AdU4i
IS THERE 3 SALLY'S EXCLUSIVE SHADES??????
Rachel Small Yes. Scroll up the comments and look on mine. Definitely go for the red one, very good but sparklier version of redvival and museum.
Tagus In That Selfie is beautiful! :)
Maybe a dumb question, but why do you paint your nails a second time to take the pictures? In other words, why don’t you take the pictures immediately after painting them for the swatching video?
Susan Gilchrist she answers this in her FAQ in the description 😀
I love the Turquoise
why can't anybody make a dupe of Sally Hnasens ''Pacific blue'' ???????????lol! great video Jess love u !
Sofia Hoffman Moonshine Mani...
You need to paint your entire nail. Don't forget the corners!!
Is that site legit? I'm kinda nervous ordering from it.
They're an official OPI distributor. My first order from them (back when they were btysales.com, before they had to make a separate site for non-professionals in order to keep their contract with OPI...idk, it's confusing) was the Hello Kitty collection. I had 2 mixups with my order but they were corrected. After that they've been sending me the newest collections to review because they send them out super early, which is great for a reviewer, and PR samples directly from OPI are impossible to rely on. OPI sends them out incredibly late or not at all and the PR contact changes every few months so you never know who to chase down about it.
aaaaanyway..lol... You can order from anywhere you're comfortable with. This collection is available all over in the U.S. at this point. My general rule is if the website takes PayPal, I'll risk the purchase since PayPal is so good about covering the buyer if anything goes south :)
Katie Brunson I've ordered from them 4 or 5 times after hearing about them from Jess. They're always great and very responsive to emails. One time they were out of an OPI polish I ordered. Instead of emailing me to see what I wanted to do or just leaving it off the order like most companies, they just upgraded it to the same shade in the infinite shine line, didn't charge me the extra money for the infinite shine, and hand wrote a note on my invoice. It was $1 difference that I would have gladly paid if they emailed me because it was the best solution, but it was so nice that they just took control of the issue instead of holding up my order. Another time, I ordered a single bottle of one of the colored OPI nail envy polishes. They didn't have the single bottle in stock, so they sent a duo with the polish I ordered and another bottle of nail envy at the same price as the single. They probably could have easily just broke up the duo and sold both polishes individually, but they gave me the deal instead. I will continue to order from them! The only downside I see is having to spend so much to get free shipping, but I get around that by letting my wish list grow before placing the order.
Hi! Wow, sounds great. I am definitely am going to purchase them soon! Thank you
Jess, I just wanted to get back with you and say thank YOU for getting back with me. I truly value your opinion when it comes to purchasing polishes. Thank you for providing us with such amazing reviews. You're amazing!
I actually like this more than I thought. I like the purple Ulta too. random and weird for spring but pretty.
Love these videos thanks!!!!
How close would you say "Can I Bairro This Shade" is to "Gelato On My Mind" from the Italy collection from a while back? I have that one and love it, but I remember that it's a bit chalky. This one doesn't seem like a great improvement on formula so if the color is really close to Gelato On My Mind, I may pass on it (I LOVE blues, teals, etc. so I was tempted by this one but then I realized it might be a dupe).
Oh, and, as always, FANTASTIC video. I seriously wait until you post your videos before I buy any collection!
Crystal Henderson actually closer to OPI it's a boy than gelato on my mind. I have all 3 and they are similar.
lol...$19 for shipping to Canada total Ulta charge for 1 bottle of OPI's Ulta And The Raven cried Give Me More" is $32.00 OUCH...obviously I didn't complete the order..I have been ripped off before on shipping..but seriously? $19.00 for one bottle nail polish just 50 miles above the US border???
The yellow looks like the crayon "macaroni and cheese" on camera after its dry..
On the real... the raven color is the only color ill buy... everything else is repeats
