Alright u got it!

[@rachel820]

Such a pretty collection. So colorful.

[@PolishLabRat]

I think so too! :D

[@lpup]

Pricele$$ reminds me of opi Oh so swamped. Seem to be very similar lush greens. 💚💚

[@PolishLabRat]

A nail friend sent me a comparison pic and these two seem to be dupes!

[@dailypolishme]

These are beautiful. I love the entire collection. Thanks for sharing.

[@PolishLabRat]

Thanks for watching!

[@LightOfJoy1]

I've been waiting for this! Ahh thank you for comparing the yellows and the orange/reds. There are some good ones here!

[@PolishLabRat]

Right? So happy! haha

[@honeycoated31]

Thank you so much for this review! I was waiting for your video to decide if I will purchase and I think I will! I love the greens in this pallette!

[@PolishLabRat]

They are nice!!!! As a green lover I’m not mad at having 2 of them 😆

[@Alucardaft]

Gracias Larissa por tu publicación estaba esperando tus comparaciones. 🎉 No me equivoco en los colores que escojo luego de ver tus videos porque van muy bien con mi tono de piel❤

[@BrittMFH]

The green! 💚 Thank you for the swatches!

[@PolishLabRat]

Thank you for watching! :D

[@snafu8203]

Love the music…definitely summer vibes. I do miss “pandemic” you when you had more time and showed your face but life has kind of gotten back to normal. I always look forward to your videos.

[@PolishLabRat]

Thank you! I stopped showing my face more out of convenience than anything. It takes longer to setup if I have to show my face, and given that I already have little time, if I just film my hands I can make more videos 🤣

[@hibiscus752]

These are so lovely and fun! Loving the green and blue 😍

[@PolishLabRat]

Yeahhh 😍 tfw!

[@darleneoldakowski4966]

My Me Era is gorgeous!

[@blueangels8103]

Love this collection because it's beautiful but also for the Trevor project.

[@PolishLabRat]

OPI often posts about that charity and seems like they have been a supporter of it for a while ❤️ so this theme makes sense for them for sure.

Me gusta esta coleccion, Pero extaño lo old de Opi las colecciones de travel y esos nombres de antes que tanto me gustan, siento que ya no son lo mismo, pero aun asi Morgan taylor y Opi son mis maracas favoritas como siempre excellent review ❤️

Eso mismo estaba pensando yo, que extraño las colecciones que eran de ciudades! Eran mucho mejores la verdad 😭

Thank you!!! Can we see Pricele$$ compared with I’m soooo swamped? Thanks!!

[@PolishLabRat]

I don’t have that one! 😭

[@Nailtheday]

@@PolishLabRat they look very similar. I bought Picele$$ anyway 🤣🤣

[@Musikisbellatastic]

"My Me Era" LOOKS A LOT LIKE "Tempura-ture Is Rising" in the bottle. I didn't swatch it but I was just looking at polishes in my collection. I own both and now want to swatch it to see if it's the same. If you own both can you also do a swatch of each on a Short to compare?

[@PolishLabRat]

I’m gonna be away for 2 weeks so prob won’t get to this soon, but my me era is too pink where TIR is much more orange. But still not orange enough I think to be comparable to the other orange here

[@AbbeyDelfosse-nw8ot]

Thank you! Can you show the light green compared with Essie “piece of work?”

[@PolishLabRat]

I think I have this one! I added it to the list 👍🏼😊

[@miah6458]

Could you compare "That's Fire" to OPI "Silicon Valley Girl" and Essie "To DIY For"? I am always for brighter oranges that are two coaters. "That's Fire" reminds me of Essie "Tangerine Tease" but that one for some reason was not a two coater for me. :( also, could you compare "Pricele$$" to Essie "Take Controller"? Thank you!!!

[@PolishLabRat]

Hi, I don’t have the controller one, and I put tangerine in there on the comparisons I put on the community tab. And also Silicon Valley! 🧡

[@jadabayy]

😍

[@PolishLabRat]

😍😍

[@menanovaa_]

I dont know what OPI was thinking with "Summer" i personally dont like this collection. But as always thank you for the video!!!

[@PolishLabRat]

Yw! ❤️ So 3/12 are Fall, the rest are summer colors. Still those 3 didn’t have to be fall colors 🤣 but as standalone polishes outside of the season, they r so good! After I full-hand swatched them and did comparisons I realize I love them even more 🤣

[@Musikisbellatastic]

Can you compare this OPI orange 🧡 "Feelin' Fire" to Orly - "Lion's Ear" please?

[@PolishLabRat]

Hmmm I’m not sure if I have the ORLY, it sounds familiar but not too familiar 🤣🤣

[@laurentucker5444]

Can you compare dream come blue with tile art to warm your heart and rich girls & po boys if you have either of those?

[@PolishLabRat]

Don’t have po boys. It’s already compared to tile art on my community tab 💙☺️

[@kathryng9296]

Thank you so for this!!! I love the greens! Curious how the darker one compares to Essie Off Tropic 🥰

[@sarahkuhn2286]

This is the comparison I was hoping for too!

[@PolishLabRat]

Oh that’s a good one! I’ll do a comp for this

[@PolishLabRat]

U got it! 😋

Yes, I don’t think both are needed. I have them compared on my community tab 💙

Hi Larissa!🎉🎉🎉❤

[@PolishLabRat]

Hiiii ☺️❤️

[@shihtzumom7209]

Great video as always! Question: I like many of these opi summer 2024 np colors now after seeing them on you, but my nails are medium- long now and I find that brights look terrible on my sallow neutral olive skin when I have long nails. I prefer nudes and pale shades on my long nails, and prefer brights on my short nails. What is your opinion on this for your clients? I am tempted to file my nails down for the summer now. :) Also, I love the shape of your nails in this video. Is this oval? Or? Thanks!! ❤

[@PolishLabRat]

Hey! My shape here is prob square (but I have dulled the corners a little). I don’t take clients, I only do my own nails, but I find that this is purely personal. Whatever the person prefers. If the person wearing the nails feels happy and confident, the nails will be good. If they hate them, the nails will suck, no matter what expert or what professional tells u otherwise ❤️💅🏼😊

[@jadabayy]

I was looking some reds these days like bright, almost neon but not exactly end eye catcher end almost one coating enough you know😅I know I want too much but I am pretty sure you can give me some advices about it. (With wide brush also 😅)

[@PolishLabRat]

Red neon is not really a thing for regular polish unless it starts leaning pink or orange. It’s a real problem to try to find that! People c the gel manicures and want it in reg polish and it’s not easy. Check out Color Club “Blaze”

[@jadabayy]

@@PolishLabRat 🙏🏼

[@efuntoye]

As real as it gets to cannoli wear opi

[@PolishLabRat]

Yes! This is the first thing I thought of too! Haha

[@aquariaaustin2077]

Meh. Too many similar polishes. Too many Colours of Doom for me. I only liked the violet, blue and greens, and the light green has been done and done and done. But I don't think I'll bother buying anything but Midnight Snacc. I have close enough dupes for everything else at better prices. I mean, if you don't have any polishes, this would be a sort of okay collection, but too many other brands have better collectionis this summer. And at this price point? Give me a break. OPI has lost a few steps these past few years, and they don't seem to know how to get back on track. Other brands are doing more interesting things, and better colour stories. HARD PASS.

[@PolishLabRat]

On the bright side, it’s money savings for you 🤣☀️ - but yeah, if someone is building a collection and recently starting then they can find gems here, but any seasoned collector can prob dupe this… however keep in mind that this blue is more unique than it seems, I’m not sure I own an exact dupe. 💅🏼
