NOTD: OPI Serena Glam Slam England: Grape…Set…Match & Servin’ Up Sparkle

Hi!


In my previous post I promised a sparkly NOTD, and that’s exactly what this is!

OPI has teamed up with tennisstar Serena Williams this year and they’re created a couple really cool duos for their collection. The collection consists of different smaller collections, England being one of them. The Glam Slam England collection includes two duos, the one I’m showing you today being one of them.
Out of all the sets, this is definitely my favorite one! I love purple and I love glitter, so how could it not be :).

Grape…Set…Match is a beautiful shimmery purple. Different from any other shimmery purple in my collection because of its magenta and blue-purple duochrome shimmer. The base of this polish is kind of a dark purple/plum. Looks absolutely gorgeous! What I didn’t like so much about this polish is thatI found it quite difficult to get it opaque. Also, because of the shimmer, it’s kind of hard to remove, but then again it also didn’t chip on me as fast as some creme polishes do.

Servin’ Up Sparkle has a clear base with small round and a little bigger hexagonal holographic glitters in it. I love holographic glitter in general and I like how this one has different size glitters. It’s super sparkly in bright light and especially in sun light (unfortunately,I failed to capture just how sparkly it is in the pictures). I was hoping the glitter would be a little more dense and that there would be a little more hexagonal glitter in it, but that problem is easily solved with an extra coat (= more sparklyness! :) )

Not sure if this is still available in stores, but here’s a list of where to find it online!

Do you like this set and the combination of these two colours? Have you tried any of the other duos?
