I love when you do comparisons at the end. I'm anxiously awaiting to see the new Zoya collection and comparisons. That is so helpful to me because I hate buying a polish that's very similar to something I already have. Also, love your piano music!
Thank you so much Phoebe! I always wait for your reviews before I buy polish. I know a lot of people are bored with this collection, but I'm picking up 3 shades. I only have a couple jellies so I had to grab them.
I'm surprised at the number of people who don't like this collection - I like most of the colors, actually. I think it's a nice variety. I especially like the peachy/corals. Thanks!
I just purchased 5 shades. The collection reminds me of sunset or sunrise! I love California, and I've always wanted to visit, so I was super hyped about this collection. Polish Pick is amazing, by the way!
Wow! I didn't know this collection was coming out! I would love to buy The whole collection for the names. But that wouldn't be practical. But who knows because I live in California maybe I will! Tfs and I love, LOVE the dupes portion. Never stop the dupes! I look forward to all dupes from every brand even!
Thank you so much for all of your prep work! I swore off purchasing OPI recently when I was reorganizing and finding similar shades within my collection. Ummm...now I need: This is Not Whine Country, Malibu Pier Pressure, Feeling Frisco and Carmel Sunday. Thanks for your love and dedication to polish! 💖
I love this collection--I am not as fond of cremes but these are nice shades. Combine this collection with the Tiffany one and basically you got it all covered for classic/basic.
Great video Phoebe, thank you for swatching these for us! I really like the look of the last one you swatched Don't Take Yosemite for Granit. I think I will have to get that one. I googled what Yosemite was and I saw it is such a beautiful park I would love to go there sometime! :)
I don't have much of a nail line, so I honestly think a couple of these would be ok in two for me, though one doesn't know til one tries! I love the comparisons section
Thanks for the video Phoebe! I'm really underwhelmed with this collection unfortunately. Wanted to love it because I'm a California girl through and through but I'm not a fan of pinks/reds/oranges and that's what most of the collection is. Another commenter said monochromatic and I definitely agree. Would have liked to see some more variety in color but that's okay. Hopefully some other really good summer collections come out!
I absolutely love your channel but it seems like there is a drastic color difference between your manicure photo and the live swatches. I end up having to watch other videos or google swatches so I can tell which is more color accurate. I realize lighting can be a challenge but I sure wish there was a way to make the live swatches and the still photo more color accurate.
Thank your for the time and effort you put into these videos Phobe , love them! The polish I prefer is whatever you are wearing!!! do u remember what color it is?
Thank you for swatching this! You saved me a lot of money. I strongly dislike 3 coaters! And this collection is pretty much all 3 coaters. Yikes! Bad formulas :(
I bought Barking Up the Wrong Sequoia. I'm a sucker for shades like that. I almost bought Excuse Me Big Sur but I think it's similar to Sally Hansen Primrose and Proper and possibly even Essie Eternal Optimist. Not an exact dupe but close enough that I couldn't justify spending the money, since I have both of those. Shades like these really challenge my ability to control my spending. 😮 Love the video as always and I really like this collection.
I really like Whine Country and Beach Peach but I have a hard time bringing myself to spend OPI dollars. Even discounted they seem a tad overpriced to me for a mass produced brand. Thanks so much for sharing!
after looking at the dupes--I am thinking all these shades seem to be more on the warm side, more yellow than blue--which I do like because I have a peachier tone to my pal skin than the pinker tone.
Loved this review! Can you suggest a good lippy that is similar to Excuse me, big Sur? It's so pretty. Also, do you know if OPI doing a soft shades or brights collection this year?
I enjoy the comparisons swatches i would love it if you could compare to Zoya that is what my collection consists of and i know you have a large one as well if you could compare to that brand. I see colors i like but afraid to get any as i feel they might be like something have already.
Oh! I had dismissed this collection as a whole because I just don't like wearing reds, red-oranges, pinks, or nudes, but I really like the last two. I'm going to bet I have several near-dupes for Sweet Carmel Sunday outside of OPI, though. I really like coppery polishes, lol. I'll maybe pick up Don't Take Yosemite for Granite; I'll have to look through my own collection (I don't own any of the dupes you showed, alas). Thanks for another excellent video!
The collection appears to be on bty sales now. This is the third OPI release in a row that I haven't found a must buy color. Maybe I am just content with my collection, but nothing knocked my socks off- which is a shame, because I could use a good pedicure! :-)
This collection is meh, but so was the previous collection. I might pick up just 2: the Yosemite and the Sequoia ones. Thank you so much for the dupe comparisons. Saved me time and money!
I agree that this collection is boring! Or should I say dupe-tastic with what looks like crummy formulas. I picked up To the Mouse House We Go (because im a sucker for red jellies!) and Don't Take Yosemite For Granite. I agree with Phoebe that the red was pretty sheer for a jelly, but it was bright and fun. I was also surprised that Don't Take Yosemite For Granite wasn't a one coat wonder like Worth A Pretty Penne was. It wasn't bad though; nice formula. I pretty much own dupes of the rest of the collection. I was bummed at the Fiji collection, now bummed at this collection. I really hope they have a brights collection this year that will knock my socks off!!
Nearly choked when you said they were $5.25 a bottle that's so cheap! In the U.K. Opi is a high end brand and generally starts a £10.50 a bottle. Thanks for the review there is a couple I will go out and get ❤️
Nice video. Very helpful and very informative it was. I might pass on this collection though. The only one that I really liked was the Yosemite one and it looks like China Glaze's Heroine Chic to me (minus the lack of red specks) which I already have. Thank you!
Confused - you mention a nail polish seller who was shady "in your last video" but I don't see that - will that be upcoming? I have ordered from Polish Pick several times and she communicates well and ships SUPER fast! Highly recommended.
Gosh, OPI is really underwhelming nowadays. It seems like they had a lot of polishes stockpiled and just pulled a bunch of them out and slapped California-themed names on them. I'm glad you reviewed these; I know what to avoid buying.
As a blue and green lover, this collection is a full NO. if they were trying to make salon colors, they totally failed in formula..so what was their point with this collection? For that matter, what is going on in the polish world? You had Sinful Colors and China Glaze slacking last year, now OPI phoning it in.
what a snoozefest this collection is, best part of this collection was this video about it! :-) I might pick up Don't take Yosemite for Granite although I already have the other 3 in your dupes section...also possibly the Big Sur one but probably don't need that one either as I have others like it also....thank you as always!
thanks for the review as always but this collection is not interesting to me what so ever. everything has been done before. *sigh* anyway thank you for the review :)
This collection is so 'meh'...the only one that looks interesting to me is that last brownish taupish metallic. Excuse Me Big Sur reminds me of Sinful Colors Starfish.
lurcherry Agreed, but they won't. Those colors sell too well and too consistently. Unfortunately, most mainstream brand customers are normal women who buy at the drugstore, and not nail polish nuts like us, who are always looking for something new and exciting that we don't already have.

Boo-ya, Phoebe, for getting this up so fast.
Love ur channel! I know I can rely on your channel to have swatches of new collections. Thank you!
Great swatches and comparisons. I'd love to see these in daylight/sun. I think that's where you'd see the true differences.
I like all the neutrals and the Yosemite one! Thanks for swatching and I'll have to check this seller out because $5.25 for OPI is a goooodddd price!
Great video Phoebe, thank you for swatching these for us! I really like the look of the last one you swatched Don't Take Yosemite for Granit. I think I will have to get that one. I googled what Yosemite was and I saw it is such a beautiful park I would love to go there sometime! :)

Love your review💗 and the live swatches
Thank you for the review! While I am drawn to all the bright colors I am pretty sure I have dupes from other brands. :)
not too impressed with this collection. love your review! 💜
Great video! Always love the shoes at the end! As for my fave... the big sur was nice!

Love This is not Whine Country! ❤️ and GPS I love you.
Thank you for swatching this! You saved me a lot of money.
I strongly dislike 3 coaters! And this collection is pretty much all 3 coaters. Yikes! Bad formulas :(
Same here. I won't do a 3-coater unless it just BLOWS MY MIND to look at!
La Reina del Sur ya OPI usually has really thick polishes
I bought Barking Up the Wrong Sequoia. I'm a sucker for shades like that. I almost bought Excuse Me Big Sur but I think it's similar to Sally Hansen Primrose and Proper and possibly even Essie Eternal Optimist.

What shade would most likely dupe miss honey of klpolish? :)
I was waiting for this!!
I really like Whine Country and Beach Peach but I have a hard time bringing myself to spend OPI dollars. Even discounted they seem a tad overpriced to me for a mass produced brand. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks Phoebe. You saved me from buying the entire collection to just a few pieces. Are you going to review the China Glaze Pastels?
Yes! I got the one that has probably the best coat I got Santa Monica peach 🍑
Beautiful summer collection! TFS!
Hi Phoebe, Are you going to swatch Pretty Serious' "Rainy Days" collection?
after looking at the dupes--I am thinking all these shades seem to be more on the warm side, more yellow than blue--which I do like because I have a peachier tone to my pal skin than the pinker tone.
Loved this review!

This collection is so nice!
weird! Essie just came out with a polish called excuse me sur and it's the same color and everything lol
talk about monochromatic
I agree that this collection is boring! Or should I say dupe-tastic with what looks like crummy formulas.

is there other websites that sell opi at a discounted price
Don't Take Yosemite For Granite is the standout MUST HAVE for moi! Thank you for sharing XOXOXO
GPS I love you was a nice polish. Thank you for the swatches.
Nice video. Very helpful and very informative it was. I might pass on this collection though. The only one that I really liked was the Yosemite one and it looks like China Glaze's Heroine Chic to me (minus the lack of red specks) which I already have. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing :). My opi drawer is full. I must resist. Lol. Not big on 3 coaters. Love the music as usual! They all started with a C
Confused - you mention a nail polish seller who was shady "in your last video" but I don't see that - will that be upcoming? I have ordered from Polish Pick several times and she communicates well and ships SUPER fast! Highly recommended.
She was talking about a beauty supplier in Miami who was mentioned in a previous OPI video...not Polish Pick.
Jenn W yes, thank you Gigi, that's what I was referring to
linear shimmer = pearl maybe?
I really didn't see anything that stood out to me. They just seemed eh.
Not very excited about this one. Way too many 3 coaters. Loved your review as usual :)
It is so weird to me that this collection doesn't have a "Suzi" named polish. What is happening at OPI?!
Gosh, OPI is really underwhelming nowadays. It seems like they had a lot of polishes stockpiled and just pulled a bunch of them out and slapped California-themed names on them. I'm glad you reviewed these; I know what to avoid buying.

For that matter, what is going on in the polish world? You had Sinful Colors and China Glaze slacking last year, now OPI phoning it in.
The polish, 'Tme for a Napa' should have been the title of this collection.
I'll be buying To The Mouse House out of Disney love ❤️
Time for a Napa - Sex and the City reference, am I right?
I like sweet Carmel Sunday .
what a snoozefest this collection is, best part of this collection was this video about it! :-) I might pick up Don't take Yosemite for Granite although I already have the other 3 in your dupes section...also possibly the Big Sur one but probably don't need that one either as I have others like it also....thank you as always!
thanks for the review as always but this collection is not interesting to me what so ever. everything has been done before. *sigh* anyway thank you for the review :)
Very boring collection, screams fall more so than summer but nice review and swatches as usual
This collection is so 'meh'...the only one that looks interesting to me is that last brownish taupish metallic. Excuse Me Big Sur reminds me of Sinful Colors Starfish.
They really disappointed my home state with this one. geez, I was falling asleep.
This collection is so boring! Opi needs to cut back on the Reds and pinks
lurcherry Agreed, but they won't. Those colors sell too well and too consistently. Unfortunately, most mainstream brand customers are normal women who buy at the drugstore, and not nail polish nuts like us, who are always looking for something new and exciting that we don't already have.
lurcherry -_-
lurcherry I don’t have any opi pinks but from this video I agree, but maybe try to say that to opi because it’s not the youtubers fault no hate
mah.
This was such a complete disappointment !!
