Serena Williams Glam Slam

Here's the lovely lady in all her polished glory:


And here is her own OPI lacquer, Simply Smash-ing.




These photos have been color corrected. My camera refuses to pick up some green tones, which irks me to death right now. But happily, you've already seen this one a million times - though pretty colors like this one can't be seen too many times! Golden chartreuse green foil in three coats. It's a bit on the sheer side, so it won't get completely opaque even at this point, but happily, polishes with this amount of reflective particles seem to hide that itteh bitteh visible nail line left.

Simply Smash-ing is sold only in a set (pun?) with the Black Shatter crackle polish, so of course I tried the combination out.


Nice indeed. I also attempted a third variation on this theme, though I can't really recommend it, even if it actually is slightly better in reality:

Since Simply Smash-ing is sheer, I tried it on top of the crackle as well. It looks... Erm... Well. Slightly disturbing.

I love, love, love Simply Smash-ing! It's a beautiful color, right up the Feline alley of spring green colors. Sparkly, vivid, fun. My only question is: why, WHY, OPI, what's up with all the hyphens lately? Hyphen this and hyphen that. Do you really think cosmetics consumers are so stupid that we won't get your tiresome puns if the hyphens weren't there? Yawn.

Swedish word of the day:
tennisboll -noun tennis ball
Quite obvious, huh?
