I think maybe I'm the only commenter here who enjoys the theme, the names, and I don't care about 2 vs 3 coats because I always do 3 very thin coats of polish. And I love frost and pearl finishes!! Thanks for getting this review up so early for us, Janixa, so we can make budgeting and buying decisions for summer 2023.
I like 3 coat’s because I have way too much polish and I like seeing it being used up. I’m also retired so I have the time. Blessings for your channel Janixa 💕
I love this entire collection and especially how they dry down to the semi-matte finish which I like! Such gorgeous colors for the Summer! I love a pearl finish which is a nice change from all the glitter-flakey bombs that I am so burnt out on. I really didn't see this collection as all being 3-coaters 😊
I'm one of those who really likes pearl-finish polishes, especially in modern colors and I really like this collection (except for the nude one...too old-fashioned) as a whole. I don't mind 3 coats, especially as I suspect the chemistry of getting pigments to dry to a satin, semi-matte finish is the reason for this and may be unavoidable. I'm definitely picking up Sunscreening My Calls, Skate To The Party, Charge It To Their Room, I'm Yacht Leaving, & Summer Mondays-Fridays. Great video as always, Janixa and I really appreciate you getting it up so fast. I've been waiting to see these since PolishPick posted them.
I dunno man, a lot of mainstream brands have been kinda slippin' lately. Both OPI and China Glaze have failed to wow me this season, and Orly played it safe this year with their pastels this spring. Ho hum!
Well, this will be good for my wallet for a change. The color story is beautiful, but I’ll skip these. I can’t do the 3 coaters. Thanks for swatching! Awesome job as always.
Great color story. Nice bright fun Summer colors. Very sad to hear that these polishes are 3 coaters. Thanks for swatching and sharing your thoughts about this collection😊💗
Thanks for the swatches! I always wait for swatches before I buy. What I would love to see is these neons against China Glaze ones, since I typically buy neons from them. :)
Pretty collection, don't mind using 3 coats especially since I have shorter nails and want the color to be a little deeper in color. Don't mind pearl finish nail polish is sometimes use them as accent nail, when using just plain color polish.
I know how you felt about that peach pearl one, but honestly - it looked lovely against your complexion :) I love pearl finishes, I think there's something cool about vintage and sometimes I just want to rock a low-key look.
Omg right!? I envy that, my skin tone makes corals pop a bit too much and they end up looking over saturated but I still wear them because 👌😩 how could I not
Totally agree that cremes should be 2 coats max these days, these kind of disappoint me. Plus I’m not really a pearl fan. I really miss the travel collections too. Those were great and how I got into OPI to be honest.
Yesss haha now you are sounding like me. I hate when I have to do three coats! I try to get exclusively 1-coaters. I love pearl finishes but none of these are doing it for me.
Charge it to their room is so pretty! I will only be getting that one. I really do not prefer pearl finishes so that takes out half the formula. Then the formulas on the creams are disappointing.. Thanks for the swatches!
I feel the same, pearlescent formulas aren’t my immediate go-to (I like creams best, but I think a lot of people do) it takes a certain color or a certain mood for me to grab a pearlescent color
I was super excited for the teal and the lime green shades when I saw the promo pic for these (as the Spring Essie was too "dirty yellow" with my skin tone, and the OPI Nature Strong Cactus What You Preach stained my nails) , but 3 coats for creams just sounds like such a chore🥲. Thank you for the swatches!💜
I personally think that what I don’t care about pearl polishes is in the application. So… just give me a good cream! I enjoy your honest opinions about this collection. So OPI…change your brush, I love the paddle brush, I have been buying Morgan Taylor lately.
I actually like pearl finishes. I think those pearl colors would look great on warm skin tones. I know not everyone agrees. Great swatches, great video.
"Summer Fridays" is a benefit some companies have where u can leave the office early (or just get the whole day off) on fridays in summer, so i think the name "summer monday-fridays" is a play on that :)
When I was working in the late 1990's we couldn't have Ot so we took the time off on Fridays! That made it really nice for those of us that were dept heads but would also hurt the rest of the store on fridays!
I do 3 coats on every polish I do, no matter what. So the coats are not a problem. I hate the pearlized polish. Ick, lol. I do love both the cream pinks and the cream purple tho.❤ Thank you for this video. I appreciate you 😊
These pearlescents definitely work for me--okay, maybe because I am old!--and I'll gladly do three coats with these pearlescents if that brings out a beautiful finish. It's the creams in this collection that are looking ordinary to me. Really, really pretty but so many other brands--either affordable or more expensive--have these or similar kinds of colors. I will say, though, that if I had to put four coats on, I'd probably lose my mind! 😂
Tfs! That chartreuse polish is screaming my name! I like some colors when they are pearlized so... Also, regarding the need for 3 coats: I wonder if some brands are using components different from their old formulas which affects the polishing experience 🤔
Beautiful colors but absolutely no to mainstream 3 coaters! Thanks for your honest reviews. I don't like the pearlized becuase it reminds me too much of the 70s stuff I didn't like as a kid!
I think the same thing! The chemistry of getting that finish is probably the reason they need 3 coats. I like this collection a lot more than their Spring one.
LAColors has a new line called Let’s Get Wild. It’s absolutely amazing, self leveling, bright summer colors. It’s what these collections from OPI and China Glaze are missing. I’d love to see your take and hear your opinion on them.
Thanks for the swatches I think I’m only picking up one the blue “charge it to their room” it’s a pretty collection just not into pearls and 3 to 4 coat polishes 💅
I think the chartreuse was the only one out of the pearls I actually liked! Not usually a pearl person either. I do like the creams. Personally I don’t really care if a polish is 3 vs 2 Coats. Like that doesn’t make it a bad polish to me.
You saved me some money! Quite pretty but too much work! I’ve been gravitating away from OPI anyway bc they stubbornly WON’T update their brush and I prefer the brands that have the wider brushes (Morgan Taylor, Orly, Essie, Olive & June)
Hi Janixa, loved the swatch and review, was just wandering if the yellows and greens stained your natural nails? I just watched another review, her nails were horribly stained even with base coat, she did say she had gel overlay on them, so I don’t know if that was the problem, thx
You don't like those pearly polishes but they look good on you. I liked the purple and pinks but, as soon as you said they dry to a semi matte finish, that was the deal breaker for me with this collection. Thanks for the review Janixa.
Janixa, what's up with Revlon? Nobody reviews them? I go back to their classic days (1970s or so, when I was in college, changing nail colors every night!), and I suddenly realized that I miss all that. I visited their website--they still have Cherries in the Snow!--and I'd love to find a place in NYC where I can find the polishes, as I prefer that to buying online. Any thoughts about the possibility of talking about Revlon in your videos? Or is this a brand people have left behind? I realize they have a cute new line, but I love the old bottles--have a strong sense memory of them---and their colors.
Personally, I don't mind doing 3 coats. I'd rather do 3 thin coats than 2 thick ones. I assume the polishes in this collection are thinner than the usual OPI formulation due to the neon pigment that also makes them dry matte. tbh, I love all the colors on you. Great collection and thank you for the early review ☺
I, personally, feel that the numerous Essie collections outputs have other labels pushing out more without a lot of thought, other than meeting/beating Essie’s output. I do like short nail swatches. Your nails look best squared off…even short!
Going back to my younger days of always having to put three or more coats of polish on to get good coverage! 😁 I do agree with what you said about the peach color frost even though you could technically call me an old woman! Lo😁. I've been wondering if these companies are having a problem with getting an ingredient and that is what is causing the problem. I'm no Chemist but it's funny how CG has had problems and now all of a sudden OPI is! Just my goofy brain wandering! 😁
Darn it, OPI, why? China Glaze is sucking lately, too. I haven't bought any of their new polishes this year, and only bought a couple OPI xmas polishes from last year, after Kelly Marissa did a recent video, about them being magnetic. I have a lot of polish. So, I'm now much more selective. Plus, I normally have long nails. I just don't want any more 3 coat polishes. 😕
These huge collections are ridiculous to me. It makes the themes unwieldy and too many similar colors in one set. I was a die hard mainstream nail polish junkie but I now find myself turning to the indie polishes releasing 3 or 5 piece collections that are so much better. I guess that’s not a bad thing!!! Thank you for the review ❤
I like all the colors except for the pearlized purple. I don't like that you have to use so many coats, though. The names are bland. They aren't witty, which to me seems like they were trying to do. Great swatches! 😊 I love polish pick, too. 😁
This is a big “womp-womp” from me. I’m ok with it though cause OPI is still not cruelty free, so I’m happy when they don’t make colors I feel like I need lol
The colors are beautiful and they all looked great on you! However it’s very disappointing that almost all were 3 coaters and even 4. I couldn’t agree with you more, they should have it down 2 coats as long as they have been in business their formulas should be good! Makes me wonder if they are just being cheap. Idk
Is it just me or is it hard to keep up with all these collections? I feel like companies drop a summer collection when Spring just started! I wish they'd wait until the last week of Spring or first week of Summer. I feel like I don't get to enjoy holidays like Christmas the same way because holiday collections get released sooo damn early, like before the weather has even cooled down. The beauty market is so oversaturated with products that I've found myself not buying anything new because nothing is exciting anymore.
The 90s inspiration is so strong this year and they just come out with 80s shades? Their marketing team seem... I went back and watched their trailer for Me Myself and OPI, I'm convinced this company is run by frat bros with a degree in industrial engineering.
I would have to say about 98% of my polishes require 3 coats to get a true color. I hold my palm up toward a light and if I can still see through the polish, it needs another coat.
I expected more from this brand, this is not some unknown brand of nail polish, but three coats is too much, they should have a better formula, they are expensive in my country! I hate pearl polishes too 😃
I wonder if OPI has had to get rid of certain ingredients from their products because they’re harmful for whatever reason. That would explain why it takes three coats. Maybe they just haven’t found an alternative to whatever they are leaving out. What about a ridge filler? Some of those are milky in appearance and they make your nails smoother. Maybe those under the pearly colors would help
I love the color story of this collection, but your criticisms are super valid. I don't understand why this collection has so many 3 coaters. I'll still pick up some since I LOVE the colors and personally don't hate doing 3 coats, although 2 is preferable.
Yeah, you're probably right. The formula is not that great because both China Glaze and OPI summer collection are a total disappointed. I think the yellow one is very difficult to work with. They're very streaky and kind of little patchy. Some of the collection remind me of the summer collection from last year. The finish are matte or semi-matte. I'm gonna to pass on the collection. I think OPI needs to updated the brushes. Most of the mainstream brands like Essie, Sally Hansen, Orly, and Morgan Taylor are playing safe. Thank you for your honest reviews.
As much as I love OPI and I want them to do well, I really hope these pearly polishes aren’t selling well because that just a finish that I can’t get behind and I want them to stop making them. I’ll probably just be picking up Charge It to Their Room. Also, this theme makes zero sense to me.
What is going on with OPI lately?! Their polishes have been complete garbage! Another pass, there are so many other brands out there who make gorgeous polishes that deserve my money. OPI has been a joke.
Dang Opi, whatcha doing??? Skate and Charge are ok but the rest are awful. And the name Make Outside?? WTF??? By the way..... can someone explain what makes a polish a "jelly". Thanks Jax!
Yuck! LOL There are so many ways to make polishes shimmer and sparkle. Why do brands do the pearl finish? Let it fade into the past....let it die LOL I'm 58 BTW.
Yeah. What you said. The pearls remind me of the early 70s. No thanks. And 3 coats? They need to hire someone like you! Theme was nonsensical. I have enough colors like these in better formulas. Hard Pass. Opi should actually listen up to reviews.
The last Collection i bought was the malibu. They do not do neons well. Orly has great great Neons from years ago which i prefer much more over those. The last releases of opi where very dissapointing to me
Thanks for your review, I appreciate your live swatches and your honest opinion very much. I couldn‘t agree more that I love the color selection but the formulas really look disappointing. When I then consider that for me in Switzerland Opi is as expensive as a polish I order with PPU including its shipping the three coats get even more disappointing. And these pearlized finish is a ghost hunting me from the past - I didn‘t like it then, I don‘t like it now 🫣
Hey everyone! I completely forgot to mention that the creams in this collection aren’t very self leveling. 😕
Boo. Come on OPI you’ve got a standard to live up to. I won’t be getting any of these.
Glad you mentioned that! I'll probably hold off for now then.
I think maybe I'm the only commenter here who enjoys the theme, the names, and I don't care about 2 vs 3 coats because I always do 3 very thin coats of polish. And I love frost and pearl finishes!! Thanks for getting this review up so early for us, Janixa, so we can make budgeting and buying decisions for summer 2023.
I’m glad you like them!
I do like the colors, even the pearls. I’m a seventies girl and I remember the frosts from that time period!
I do think the colors are pretty!
Nothing wrong with the pearls. I love them!!!!!
I’m in my 70’s and I do love the “old” Pearl colors of my younger years. It’s natural that others may lean to younger colors.
Yes it is!
I LOVE the pearlized finishes, and it looks like plenty of others do, too. Keep it up, OPI !❤
💜💜💜
I like 3 coat’s because I have way too much polish and I like seeing it being used up. I’m also retired so I have the time. Blessings for your channel Janixa 💕
My sister is the same way! She used up a lot of polish on one manicure. I don’t know how she does it lol
Thank you for your honesty.don't have to play with polishes
I love this entire collection and especially how they dry down to the semi-matte finish which I like! Such gorgeous colors for the Summer! I love a pearl finish which is a nice change from all the glitter-flakey bombs that I am so burnt out on. I really didn't see this collection as all being 3-coaters 😊
In person, you can clearly see dark spots or streaks after two coats on almost all of these but if you don’t mind that, you’ll be good!

I’ll do 3 coats if I get it 1/2 price at TJMaxx. Pretty colors though

Spoiler alert, I’ve searched 4 summer collections so far and don’t like any of them. 😕
@@naillacquertherapy This does not bode well 😬
Go for Glam Polish! They don't disappoint 😁

Ah thank you 💜
Love the creams; I have never been a fan of the pearly finish. So old school. The teal and lime were favs!
💜💜💜
I know how you felt about that peach pearl one, but honestly - it looked lovely against your complexion :) I love pearl finishes, I think there's something cool about vintage and sometimes I just want to rock a low-key look.
Thank you! You’re the second to say this. Maybe I need to give them a chance lol
Omg right!? I envy that, my skin tone makes corals pop a bit too much and they end up looking over saturated but I still wear them because 👌😩 how could I not
I do aprechiate a real HONEST review. I do hate all that gasping " influencers" who are obsessed with every single product. Hige plus therefore💖
I hate that too!
Totally agree that cremes should be 2 coats max these days, these kind of disappoint me. Plus I’m not really a pearl fan. I really miss the travel collections too. Those were great and how I got into OPI to be honest.
Yesss! It’s 2023! I don’t have time for three coats!

I liked the sanding in stilettos . I’d like it in a better formula but looks great on your skintone. Need some summer colors that are not wearing me.

I love pearl finishes. Peach shades make me happy too. I think my last favorite finish are creams. They just don't wear well for me.
I like creams but I don’t wear them very often. Too many sparkly polishes available to wear just creams all the time!

I don’t think a color like that should need 3 coats. We’ve seen it in just two before.

Way too much.
Does Skate to the party look similar to Zoya Lena?
The OPI has a tiny bit more white in it. Lena looks a tad darker. I’d choose Lena between the two based on formula.
I'd chose Lena too. Thanks for your thoughts.
I’m not buying any polish if I have to do 3 coats. Pretty colors though.

I would have to say about 98% of my polishes require 3 coats to get a true color. I hold my palm up toward a light and if I can still see through the polish, it needs another coat.
I don’t have the same experience. Most polishes nowadays don’t requiere three coats. Many are opaque in just one coat.
I expected more from this brand, this is not some unknown brand of nail polish, but three coats is too much, they should have a better formula, they are expensive in my country! I hate pearl polishes too 😃
I agree. I hold OPI to a high standard.
I wonder if OPI has had to get rid of certain ingredients from their products because they’re harmful for whatever reason. That would explain why it takes three coats. Maybe they just haven’t found an alternative to whatever they are leaving out. What about a ridge filler? Some of those are milky in appearance and they make your nails smoother. Maybe those under the pearly colors would help
It could help!
I love the color story of this collection, but your criticisms are super valid. I don't understand why this collection has so many 3 coaters. I'll still pick up some since I LOVE the colors and personally don't hate doing 3 coats, although 2 is preferable.
Colors are so nice! Having to do three coats is a bummer. Not a deal breaker, but a bummer.
opi really should improve their brush.
Ugh yes!
Yeah, you're probably right. The formula is not that great because both China Glaze and OPI summer collection are a total disappointed. I think the yellow one
is very difficult to work with. They're very streaky and kind of little patchy. Some of the collection remind me of the summer collection from last year. The finish are matte or semi-matte. I'm gonna to pass on the collection. I think OPI needs to updated the brushes. Most of the mainstream brands like Essie, Sally
Hansen, Orly, and Morgan Taylor are playing safe. Thank you for your honest reviews.
💜💜💜
Love the color story nothing new…
💜💜💜
As much as I love OPI and I want them to do well, I really hope these pearly polishes aren’t selling well because that just a finish that I can’t get behind and I want them to stop making them. I’ll probably just be picking up Charge It to Their Room. Also, this theme makes zero sense to me.
The theme is so odd.
what a shame, they are such pretty colors but 3 coats is a no for me
💜💜💜
I really never like pearly polishes.
Neither do I.
Is 2023 gonna be the summer of the crappy formula? 😂
I think so. I’ve swatched 4 summer collections so far and don’t like any of them.
Three coats are a no-no for me. I also think these colours are not unique.
No they aren’t. We’ve seen them before.
Oh lord, I hate them all. I hate pearl finish and sheer/patchy formulas.
Not what we expect from OPI.
Someone else who reviewed this collection had pretty bad staining with the yellow shades. Disappointing collection.
I saw that too! I didn’t have any staining but it was crazy to see.
Nope, count me out. I hate pearly polishes. Give me all the shimmer in the world but not the pearl. I’m not 100 yet!
Love shimmer!
What is going on with OPI lately?! Their polishes have been complete garbage! Another pass, there are so many other brands out there who make gorgeous polishes that deserve my money. OPI has been a joke.
Last year they were so good and so far this year, I’m not in love with anything.
Seems like they screwed up this collection and should change it
Dang Opi, whatcha doing??? Skate and Charge are ok but the rest are awful. And the name Make Outside?? WTF??? By the way..... can someone explain what makes a polish a "jelly". Thanks Jax!
Jellies are usually polishes that translucent or don’t build up to complete opacity.
Yuck! LOL There are so many ways to make polishes shimmer and sparkle. Why do brands do the pearl finish? Let it fade into the past....let it die LOL I'm 58 BTW.
😂😂
Yeah. What you said. The pearls remind me of the early 70s. No thanks. And 3 coats? They need to hire someone like you! Theme was nonsensical. I have enough colors like these in better formulas. Hard Pass. Opi should actually listen up to reviews.
I wonder if they listen to feedback at all. 🤔
This collection it's terrible all the videos that I saw say the same thing... So opi fail in this Summer Collection.
Exacto
The last Collection i bought was the malibu. They do not do neons well. Orly has great great Neons from years ago which i prefer much more over those. The last releases of opi where very dissapointing to me
Thanks for your review, I appreciate your live swatches and your honest opinion very much. I couldn‘t agree more that I love the color selection but the formulas really look disappointing. When I then consider that for me in Switzerland Opi is as expensive as a polish I order with PPU including its shipping the three coats get even more disappointing. And these pearlized finish is a ghost hunting me from the past - I didn‘t like it then, I don‘t like it now 🫣
Wow, I wonder why OPI is so much pricer in other countries?
On the fence with this collection. I really liked the blue one until I saw it had a Pearl finish 🫤
I feel on the fence too. The colors are pretty but I don’t reach for three coat polishes very often.
