OPI Terribly Nice Holiday 2023 Nail Polish Collection Swatch and Review || KELLI MARISSA

[@tyakirk4050]

I totally agree about rushing the seasons. I feel that big box stores such as Walmart are partly to blame. My thinking for this is I actually know some people who work there and they put out back to school on Fourth of July and Halloween on August 1st. This year they were actually told if the back-to-school section got too picked over, to supplement it with the Halloween before August 1st. My sister-in-law's a manager and she said they are pressured to sell out of a season- before the season hits by at least a month. In my opinion that's just rushing things not leaving me a chance to enjoy the seasons as they come.

[@dawnkozlowski9788]

Unfortunately, that's just how retail works. Our store manager has to order for Christmas 6 months in advance.

[@sasuke5088]

Brands do product development seasons in advance. So, when you have a product line complete, you need to get that stock shipped out to work on the next season-rotation so it doesn't clog up the warehouse. It's not the blame to major corporations. It's the blame of late stage capitalism.

[@kristalbartmann5504]

And what ever happened to Thanksgiving?

[@anahnnemus5187]

​@@kristalbartmann5504In a country that expects to go shopping after Thanksgiving dinner and businesses not caring about the worker either it's just all trickled down to not being in that thanksgiving thankfulness. Short answer, corporations happened and greed for more profit happened.

[@sheylynnemiller7127]

Oh my gosh. The holiday situation at the stores is ridiculous. I can’t think about Halloween or Christmas in August when it’s 98 degrees outside. I live in Atlanta so we do have actual seasons and Halloween and Christmas aren’t during the summer.

[@KelliMarissa]

Feeling the same way!!!

[@the_chefanie]

Would you do a roundup of your favorite bridal shades? You’ve used that label a lot lately and I’d love to see a favorites video of those all together.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh yes such a fun idea!!!

[@rachelong3755]

Five Golden Flings reminds me of Italian salad dressing with the red and white flakes in the golden base, lol!

[@KelliMarissa]

HAHA omg I can see it!!!!

[@abipoole2859]

I think the stores are welcome to put stuff out early if they so choose, but don’t make it unavailable within the season it is meant for. For example, have Halloween stuff available from end of July through Halloween (duh!), but feel free to also bring Christmas stuff out during that time, as long as it’s still available and in stock at Christmas time. It’s not cool if I need a stocking for my mantle two weeks before Christmas and they’re all completely gone already.

[@KelliMarissa]

Totally agree - I used to be excited about stuff coming out early but now they give the sense of urgency by not restocking during the season and it is terrible imo!!

[@lifelvr9509]

Agree!!

[@ReillyWilde]

Two thumbs up for Kelli’s collection review. Unfortunately, OPI admittedly sells their products in countries that test their products on animals, so they’re not a 100% cruelty-free brand. I recycled 50 OPI bottles 3 years ago for this reason. I corresponded with OPI customer service & expressed interest in 100% cruelty-free OPI products. 🍁

[@KelliMarissa]

It's disappointing that some countries still require animal testing :( I wish they could be done withit, especially now seeing the quality of vegan and cruelty free polishes that exist in the world!

[@jane_7375_]

Thank you for stepping up on this. I agree with you.

[@glitterallynat]

Yes and yes! I don’t buy OPI for this reason. There are so many brands who don’t test their products on animals or sell in countries where third party testing is or may be required. I still watch Kelli’s OPI reviews because I feel like they’re such a mainstream staple, and I like to know what’s going on in that space.

[@ReillyWilde]

@@glitterallynat Agreed to both your points! Well stated. 🙌

[@rhondaorberson9664]

OPI is such a solid, reliable brand. I can appreciate them doing more "thinking outside of the box" recently, but it kinda seems like they took a leap towards something different without really having a good grasp on it yet. As many have pointed out, Hot and Coaled is a perfect example of great potential but missed the mark. That being said, I'm totally in love with Hot Toddy Naughty. It's the rich color and premium formula that I count on OPI to deliver.

[@KelliMarissa]

Haha yeah. I don't know why they're trying to make another Pineapples Have Peelings 🙈 it would have been so fun as a jelly without the shimmer!!

[@saraa3418]

Beyond Polish has become my go-to for nail polish. My orders have processed and shipped really quickly often coming within 3 days! They also package things up really well in small boxes with a reasonable amount of bubble wrap so the polishes aren't moving around and can't get crushed. I've definitely had polishes bought elsewhere show up damaged and that hasn't happened yet. I also love their mystery boxes. I can get kind of iffy about trying new brands or colors so a mystery box is a low-stakes way for me to get out of my comfort zone.

[@KelliMarissa]

They really are a quality retailer!!

[@rossjones1530]

“Peppermint Bark And Bite” is the standout winner of this collection for me! I love “blackened” polishes that still have colour because they look so classy, and I always love a green! 💚🖤

[@KelliMarissa]

I agree, there's something so magical about when an almost-black polish hits the sunlight and you get to see that rich color!!

[@rossjones1530]

[@screamingmimi90]

I’m with you on Salty Sweet Nothings. Gorgeous.

[@PirateFrodoPotter]

100% agree about rushing the holidays. It’s honestly been kind of ruining a lot of the holiday spirit for me the past few years. Seeing Christmas trees next to clearance 4th of July items is just so depressing to me. Not to mention how frustrating it is to not be able to find decorations and whatnot when you want them, as you mentioned! Maybe someday retailers will start listening, but I think they just look at their bottom line 😓

[@KelliMarissa]

Yeah, and because people are catching onto the fact that things sell out early, they're scrambling to buy early and retailers think it's being received well because everyone's buying stuff up in July lol

[@PirateFrodoPotter]

@@KelliMarissa 100%!!

[@candy8192]

1) you cracked me up on Let’s Scrooge 😂😂 2) Pineapples Have…is the shade I love to hate. Will NEVER get rid of it bc it’s so ugly but I really like this black version of it. As always, I feel like they did a great job. Glad they didn’t dupe some of the recent holiday collections.

[@TigerAvengers]

I totally agree - love when mainstream brands try more indie-style polishes! Love those flakie type polishes as well! And of course OPI always kills the reds and pinks, though I’m happy that this collection has a lot of color variety!

Ok, I wore princesses Rule for my wedding. The Salty Sweet Nothings looks very similar. Hot & Coald is a bit of a mess. It should have just been a black jelly with glitter.

[@KelliMarissa]

Ohhh I love that! And yeah that black was a miss for me haha

[@DLFH]

It sucks that if I want to even have a chance at any cool Halloween decorations I'm shopping for them in July and right on the heels there's Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love Halloween and to me it's an all year thing, but this push to put things out sooner and sooner has somewhat took some of the magic out of the holiday seasons, specific times when that holiday is the focus, Christmas especially. Hell I'm just wondering when Valentines hearts are going to start showing up.

[@KelliMarissa]

I remember Christmas stuff did not get put out until after the macy’ s day parade because Santa would come at the end and that was the kick off of the Christmas season. Now everyone is in such a rush that you can’t enjoy the holidays anymore. It’s so frustrating

Remember not too long ago when not only would you be able to buy Halloween or Christmas stuff right up to the day, but the next day they’d have everything that was left over marked down to like 75% off. So I would buy a lot of my stuff December 26th because that was the best deals on everything then I have things to look forward to next year!

I feel like Hot and Coaled would work better if there was no shimmer, and the glitters were mostly small with a few stand out big pieces. The glitters just don't lay right and the shimmer really obscures it. I had a lot of hope when you showed it in the bottle, because I feel like ILNP does that type of black jelly really well, and it'd be fun for OPI to get into those finishes as well. They almost hit it! But it's just too chunky/lumpy and the colors don't come through like the bottle promises. But overall this collection is really nice! I love Five Golden Rings, Yay or Neigh, and Peppermint Bark and Bite - all of which I would use in the Fall and the Winter!

Wow! I’m so surprised! A lot of these polishes are so autumnal and will also work for the holidays. Well done, OPI! I can see myself wearing several of these polishes. As for me, I have been noticing stores, etc, going for holidays earlier and earlier for several years now. I do find it annoying! When I was very young I always looked forward to going Christmas shopping with my parents and seeing all the decorations and Christmas displays up during the Christmas season- not before the tres started changing colors in the fall! It takes the joy and Christmas anticipation away when it comes earlier and earlier. I really don’t appreciate the trend that keeps coming earlier and earlier each year. It really does change the ambiance of each holiday in a way that isn’t a good thing. It creates a disconnect from the shopping time and the actual holiday you are shopping for🏖🎄🎁🙄🤪

I agree, something about holiday shopping in December feels so special and now we don't get to do it anymore - I don't want to buy Christmas decor in July haha!

When I worked at Big Lots years ago, we were always 2 seasons ahead.

Honestly I don't mind it being out early, but I hate that I have to scramble to buy holiday stuff so far in advance because they don't restock it when it's closer to the actual season/holiday!

I totally agree with Companies/stores coming out with seasonal stuff way to soon. And yeah, it’s getting worse. It’s hard to tell on videos and I know it’s not the same finish, but is Salty Sweet Nothings base color similar to Metallic Composition? That’s one of my favorite OPI colors that I own. On the Hot & Coaled, I don’t know but something’s off about it. It just looks weird to me.😂 Thanks for the swatch & review Kelli! You rock!❤
