OPI Rally Pretty Pink & Red Shatter

The next duo out from Serena Williams' Glam Slam! collection with OPI for the France Open is Rally Pretty Pink along with Red Shatter, a unique combo and one sure to be a crowd pleaser. I was much anticipating these two polishes as I wasn't sure how they were going to come out but I am happy with the results.

Rally Pretty Pink is not a pink, not really haha. It's more of a mauvey purple with lots of gold shimmer, a foil that is basically a full on dupe for Zoya's Faye that came out in this summer's Sunshine collection. I loved Faye though so I love RPP :) Perfect formula, gorgeously shiny and amazing in two coats!
Red Shatter is a real surprise, as it's got a translucent finish. It basically is a jelly, though I don't know if I'd call it that because it's not really sheer as it is translucent, it's just gorgeous! It reminds me of...blood haha! Freaking fabulous. I can just imagine all the beautiful manicures I can do with this! I don't know if Rally Pretty Pink is the perfect combination color to do with the Red Shatter, but I do like the end result. It took me a few minutes, but this combo grew on me.
What do you think of Ms. Williams' creations?? Will you be rushing to your local OPI retailers to get your hands on these?

OPI and Serena Williams - Glam Slam

OPI and Serena Williams have come together to produce a brand new nail shade, to be released with the Black Shatter topcoat that I showed you yesterday. The package is going to be called the "Glam Slam" because, of course, Serena is a world famous tennis athlete. She has also recently become a licensed nail technician, which she says has always been one of her dreams. I hear there will be more nail colors coming out from OPI with Serena's help in the future.

Simply Smash-ing! is a lemon lime green, inspired by the tennis ball that Serena smacks around with ease on the court. The polish has an awesome sparkly foil finish. It is a bit sheer on the first coat but three make it just right. It turns out a bit more yellow on the nail than it looks in the bottle but it's definitely a green. I think it's a great color for spring!
Under Black Shatter, it is very snazzy and modern. I like this combo a lot.
I've always loved tennis, I even used to go to tennis camps in the summer in grade school and junior high. I am super happy for Serena and applaud her for making her dreams a reality and taking the time to put the work in to become a nail tech. I can't wait to see what is coming up next for her collab with OPI! If the rest of her colors are as good as this one, than I know we'll be in for a treat :)
