Wimbledon Glam Slam



OPI Glam Slam Wimbledon set - Direct Sunlight

In 2011 Tennis Champion Serena Williams teamed up with OPI to produce a series of two-polish sets, with one set released to coincide with each Grand Slam tournament of that year.  From this "Glam Slam" collection this is the Wimbledon set.  My birthday is really close to Wimbledon, and I love the colour purple, so this set was one of my birthday treats in 2011.  I've worn it for every Wimbledon since!  It's gorgeous....
The set consists of a super sparkly purple shade - "Grape, Set and Match" and a sparkly holo glitter topper called "Servin' Up Sparkle" which contains a mix of tiny circular glitters and larger hex pieces.  The formula on both is really good -  "Grape, Set and Match" has that slightly gritty, dry textured finish that's typical of shades with this amount of sparkle but it goes on really smoothly and dry time is good.  The glitter topcoat is fantastic - really dense, easy to apply, and no fishing for big particles required.

Shown here I'm wearing two coats of "Grape...", one coat of "Servin'...", with one coat each of Nail Envy base and Seche Vite on top.

This is such a fun combination, and great to use individually too.  I find them pretty durable for sparkly polishes...I can easily get through the whole second week of Wimbledon before I feel the need to change it :)

If you're watching the tennis, enjoy! Here's hoping it's Andy's year.....(sparkly fingers crossed)
