OPI Downtown LA Fall 2021 Collection: Review, Live Swatches & Comparisons

[@phapy2451]

OPI does Fall and Winter so beautifully!!!

[@GoPolished]

I totally agree!

[@tdelphia1]

I think the shimmers are what is called a scattered holographic vs glitter. Glitters drive me crazy since they’re so hard to remove, but holos come off like regular creams. I love that you show potential dupes…that is SO helpful in deciding what to get from a collection!

[@QuietlyCurious]

Thx for being quick to cover this. People have been slow to pick up the first fall collections. China glaze & MT already came out too 🍂🍁☕

[@GoPolished]

You are welcome. It came fast! I am getting ready to film Morgan Taylor soon! China Glaze usually sends their collections to me late.

[@mnn-np5li]

I think fall is my favorite for colors. Loving the same ones as you and picked up a couple! Thanks for the thorough review and comparisons!

[@BeyondPolish]

So happy you are part of our family. We always love your reviews! ❤️❤️

[@GoPolished]

😘 😘 😘

[@KzooBeerGirl]

I love browns in the fall so I'm very happy that they keep giving us new shades!

[@GoPolished]

I do too!!

[@serabella779]

Metallic Composition is a stunning color, I love to wear rose gold polishes around Thanksgiving

[@GoPolished]

I liked it more that I thought I would. It's so pretty!

[@serabella779]

@@GoPolished It is, OPI has a similar one in their new Nature Strong line

[@PaulinaRosari]

I love all the colors in this collection. Thank you Laurie for the thoughtful comparison and swatches. Def gonna buy the whole collection ❤️🥰

[@GoPolished]

You are welcome! Enjoy your polishes!

[@mollymccray6648]

Hi Laurie! You are absolutely gorgeous and I love to watch your videos and find them so entertaining!🫶 I love all of these shades! I actually picked up “abstract after dark” and “Expresso your inner self”. I can’t wait to use them for Halloween and the autumn months!!✨🥰 💅 Keep up the great work! Much love!💌✨

[@louisejeffries7155]

I’ve been missing your videos I love them and recognise how much work goes into them. Laurie I’d like you to just know how much my nails and nail care has improved as a direct result of your videos. Thank you so much.

[@GoPolished]

I hope you know how happy this makes me! It's so nice when you can enjoy doing your own nails. Thanks for watching my videos :)

[@elysej5068]

This collection is SO GOOD!!!!! Thanks, Laurie! I don’t like shimmers either but my jaw dropped when I saw your swatch of “Angel…”(I forget what it’s called) the blue shimmer!

[@GoPolished]

Yes, those holos are so pretty!!

[@olgaantoshkin9636]

Those shimmers at the end.. ohhhh I need them asap! Thank you for being super quick with uploading this - I was waiting for your review to order the collection.

[@GoPolished]

Oh good!! You are welcome! Thanks for watching :)

[@zibbyzoo4379]

That dark shimmer reminds me of OPI "Cosmo With A Twist"! I love the shimmers in this collection and I think I need them all! Thanks Laurie! XOXO Heidi

[@whitney.polished]

It does look like that!

[@GoPolished]

I have had several requests to do a comparison to that polish but I don't have that one!

[@willowflowerchild]

Thank you for posting this video so soon - the color comparisons are much appreciated as well 😊

[@GoPolished]

You are welcome, thanks for watching 😊

[@Heatherlynn00278]

I grabbed Graffiti sweetie , Violet visionary, abstract after dark, my studios on spring, and angels flight to starry nights so far but I want them all!!. Great swatches

[@GoPolished]

Oh nice picks!

[@Sh07425]

I’ve been on the hunt for a muted pink. I think I’ve found it. This is a great collection. I love them all.

[@GoPolished]

It's the perfect muted pink. I think you made a great choice :)

[@triciag3311]

New subscriber here. I love how you picked half the collection as your favorite. That's something I would do. 😆 I can never pick just one! This is a great collection. My favorites are the shimmers, especially that blue one, but I love the whole collection except maybe the brown and orangey red, just because I am cool toned and those colors don't look great on me.

[@GoPolished]

Haha. It's so hard to pick favorites LOL.Thanks for watching :)

[@shannonm.4087]

YES!! i have waited on this!!!

[@shannonm.4087]

are you going to do the new OPI stronger line??

[@joannamccloud]

Me too me too 🙋🏾‍♀️💅🏾🙆🏾‍♀️

[@GoPolished]

@@shannonm.4087 Yes! It should arrive any day now!

[@GoPolished]

@@joannamccloud Yes!

[@renegadetherapist5664]

All so pretty, but i have so many dupes already. Kind of disappointed. But if you're new to collecting polishes, this is a great collection!

[@GoPolished]

A handful of them are pretty to close but I agree, if you are new to polish this collection is great!

[@emmadorin1187]

Wasn't into any of them from just looking at the pics but seeing them swatched is showing me I need a few!

[@jennigthatonecrazydoglady8100]

I wish they were cruelty free, because this collection is gorgeous! I’m not into warm tones so it’s extra nice to see a cool toned fall collection. Great reviews as always!

[@eloiseharrison8574]

my thoughts exactly 🐾

[@GoPolished]

Have you heard about OPI's new line Nature Strong? They are cruelty free! The collection is on it's way to me now!

[@taraelniski4153]

Besides the beautiful polishes, this was my fav video of yours! You seem more relaxed and really showed your love of polish!!! 😊🤩

[@GoPolished]

Oh thank you. Sometimes I am feeling it on camera and sometimes I am not. Haha

[@schavda20]

So great to see the first video on OPI fall collection. I saw promo pictures few weeks ago and I’ve been looking forward to seeing actual swatches. Great video and comparisons as usual 👐🏼

[@GoPolished]

I always try to get the OPI up first if I can. It was sent to me super fast!

[@soniaalvarado5372]

Thank you for the comparisons! I’m always impressed with how clever OPI is in naming their polishes. Those names are all very specific to LA areas/parks.

[@GoPolished]

I didn't realize they were parks but man they always kill it with the names. One of my favorite things about OPI

[@AliseL22]

OPI DTLA is really pretty. Very nice collection and always look forward to your reviews.

[@GoPolished]

Thank you!

[@dheredia2789]

Love the colors. Your comparisons are awesome! So much work but very appreciated!

[@GoPolished]

Thanks again!

[@aproposheather4796]

Definitely! Please do a favorites of every season video.

[@GoPolished]

I will! One will be coming for Fall!

[@nicolem6092]

These may be the first polishes I go out to find in a really long time!! There’s a couple here I neeeeeeeed

[@nicolem6092]

I really love this collection!

[@queenofhorror29]

The muted pink, purple, and glittery blue are stunning!😍💓

[@GoPolished]

I know! I love them!

[@schavda20]

I think I might get Graffiti sweetie - it is gorgeous

[@GoPolished]

It's such a great soft muted pink.

[@janeburkhart4051]

Another great review! I'll have to watch it again before I decide which colors I want. Some very pretty ones in there! Thanks so much for the comparisons!

[@GoPolished]

You are welcome Jane!

[@vmartin572002]

I spotted a couple of other comparisons. The green one looks like Teal me more Teal me more and 7th and Flowervlike Toying with Trouble. The shimmery purple reminds me of one from the Galaxy collection some years ago. I think I’ll probably get 7 and Flower and the brown one.

[@GoPolished]

I will check to see if I have those polishes. If I do I will try to get on stories tomorrow and show them against eachother. Thanks for watching!

[@shelaghseadon9650]

I found the Starry Night and Graffiti Sweetie at Winners today!

[@karenwillis3617]

I can honestly say I’m thinking of just ordering the entire collection. I just got the Orly fall collection but where this is muted theirs is bright so I kinda want all these too! I know I don’t need them but I want them. Decisions, decisions 🤔

[@GoPolished]

It is hard to decide! Good luck 😉

[@rockrbaby81]

Thank you for sharing swatches. I don’t love this collection because I’m not a big fan of cool-toned shades, but I think I’m going to pick up the green, the red-toned muted brown and the rose gold! I really need a new rose gold!

[@GoPolished]

I hope you like the ones you decided to pick up!

[@lindsaylewis5164]

Great review! Love the comparisons!

[@GoPolished]

Thank you so much LIndsay!

[@Gavrielle_Am_Yisrael_Chai]

DTLA reminds me soooo much of Essie's polish called "Mooning". I love that tone/color of that polish so much that I make sure I keep a backup bottle. Just wondered if you have Essie Mooning & if DTLA is close to that? I'm gonna order this whole set as I love all the colors (except the orangey red one) & will use your code to save a little money as I did last time! Thanks for that! Also thanks for the awesome video Laurie! I so enjoy watching OPI, Orly & Morgan Taylor swatch videos. They are my top 3 mainstream brands at the moment!! Oh & I LOVED your last favorites video! Those are the best kind of polish videos of all!! Have a blessed Sunday!! ~Ginger

[@GoPolished]

Thank you so much for all your support!! You are so kind. I will try to pull out Mooning. I love when you guys help remind me of certain polishes for comparisons.

[@maggiemay70]

Love the Brown but I am not getting another brown... Great collection for a polish lover starter.Thanks for the beautiful swatching. 🥰 I hope OPI will round up their brush. It's time guys..

[@GoPolished]

Yes, it's a great starter collection!

[@GoPolished]

Oh and yes. I wish they would round out the brush as well. It's about time. I was kind of hoping the new Nature Strong polishes would have a better shaped brush but they don't. Darn it.

[@mariaceleste1915]

Thanks for this review! I LOVED the first 6 that you showed. I'm not a fan of the shimmers but it's nice to see OPI doing something different.

[@GoPolished]

Don't they all look so beautiful together?! Amazing!

[@nol1717]

Thanks for the review! I’ve been waiting on swatches since the collection is available already online at Ulta!

[@GoPolished]

Oh good! Glad to help

[@queendiane2249]

I think i might purchase the expresso shade. It will look nude on me so it's cool. I was eyeing the red one but i already have essie in geranium and it seems really similar.

[@whitney.polished]

So excited to see this! This is the most intriguing collection from OPI this year for me. Unsurprising as fall usually is. I loved the browns from the Malibu collection but Hollywood was kinda just meh, to me.

[@GoPolished]

I like this better than the Hollywood collection as well. I usually always love OPI Fall collections though.

[@cristinascrap]

Oh wow I am loving this collection!! I may just have to buy it all, which is something I've never done before!

[@GoPolished]

DId you end up getting them all?!

[@cristinascrap]

@@GoPolished I did!! 🤣 🙈 I hope they come soon, I can’t wait to try them!

[@Hiker2110]

I'm super excited about this collection! The blues all seem a bit more wintery to me, but I still love them all. 💙💙💙

[@GoPolished]

I guess you could say they are wintery blues in a way. I love them for fall or winter. :)

[@alessandraferla1027]

First off, I love the music at the end! Second, when I saw the pictures for this collection, it didn’t wow me. But your swatches just made me think otherwise!! Think I’ll be getting the pale pink, DTLA, and the blue and rose gold shimmer ones!! Thanks for the video!

[@GoPolished]

Oh that's good. I totally forgot to trim the music at the end. LOL

[@tuikkur.5655]

I was wondering how that teal green shade compare to Teal Me More, Teal Me More from the Grease collection? I have that one and they look very similar to me... 🙂💚💙💚 Greetings from Finland and thanks for the video! This collection definitely speaks to me! Soo many gorgeous shades!

[@GoPolished]

Thanks for watching. I will try to pull that one out and check. :)

[@tuikkur.5655]

@@GoPolished Oh, that would be really wonderful! 😍

[@tracywestlake3795]

Bought the whole collection, and realized that Abstract After Dark is the EXACT same colour as OPI Ink (from back in 2007 release) still for sale. So now I have 2 bottles of the same polish. Bummer.

[@melyssabanks7194]

New subscriber here! I loved how detailed you were with your comparisons and the music at the end just sent me, lol!

[@Polishedbooklover]

I usually don’t like glittery polishes because it’s so hard to remove them after haha but that dark one is wow! Reminds me of the Halloween collection essie did last year……and the pink from the beginning is so pretty!

[@GoPolished]

Zoya Remove + makes any polish easy to remove. I don't even think about being annoyed at taking off glitter polishes because it works so well. Have you tried it?

[@amysquie]

I would LOVE to see seasonal favourites videos, one or two youtubers used to do them but nobody seems to do it now and I miss them!

[@GoPolished]

I just posted a summer favorites last month and a spring one as well. Did you see them? I will do one for fall and winter as well. :)

[@flatline51]

Thank you for swatches! I picked up Angels flight from beyond polish. I was thinking it's close to ILNP Aria. But your swatch looks more like ILNP Peri me. Would love to see that comparison if possible.

[@GoPolished]

Is ILNP a brand? Am I not understanding. Haha let me know and I will see what I can do. It's a brand, I don't own any of their polishes.

[@flatline51]

@@GoPolished Yes it's a brand with mostly holo polishes. You can find on amazon and their website. They are beautiful, long lasting and don't stain. Thanks for replying. (Sorry, I'm just a regular buyer)

[@srohoblt]

The Graffiti Sweetie looks almost exactly like OPIs Don’t Bossanova Me Around. My literal favorite ever. They don’t make it as much.

[@kathrynann375]

I placed my order this afternoon I can’t wait for them to arrive! Happy to see the colors I chose I still like after seeing your swatches. I just missed out on the DTLA in my order. I thought it might be similar to what I already have, but now after your comparisons maybe not.

[@GoPolished]

Yay! Hopefully you have them in your hands now! Enjoy!

[@aldskjf100]

Love so many of these! I wonder if Abstract After Dark would be a similar color to Russian Navy?

[@GoPolished]

The shimmer in Russian Navy is pretty subtle and the base of that one is navy not this purple base.

[@bethcallaghan548]

I love so many of these! That red looks a lot like Cajun Shrimp, no?

[@GoPolished]

The formula is different and CS is more coraly

[@beatricroft]

Thank you so much for reviewing this collection so early 🤩😍 your comparisons are always useful 😊 I was wondering if the purple and the shimmery dark blue in this collection were dupes with OPI grandma kissed a gaucho and Cosmo with a twist 😳

[@GoPolished]

I added another comparison with that polish and will post it on my Instagram page tomorrow. It's not a dupe. I don't have Cosmo With A Twist so I can't say how close it is.

[@kimjohnston6195]

Awesome comparison! Love them ALL!!! 🖤
