Serena Williams Grandstand Finale set!

While at Ulta the other night, I passed by the sales associate on my way to the checkout counter and then had to stop and turn around because I noticed that she had just brought out the new OPI set from the Serena Williams Glam Slam series called Grandstand Finale. After thinking about it for a half a second, I decided I really liked this set(I hadn't ever purchased any of the earlier sets) and bought it. I really like this set, each color individually and layered with each other. I can't decide what my favorite one is, so I'll just show you the pictures!

First up we have Pros & Bronze. I love the different color glitters in this bronze! I saw pink in it the night I bought it, but in the pictures I am not seeing it anymore. Definitely a pretty color! This was 3 coats.
  This is in direct sunlight

 And in the shade. You can see the different glitters better.


 Next up, we have the other color in the set, Love is a Racket. A bright cherry red with the teeniest pink flakies. I love this, I just had a hard time capturing the flakies on camera. Much better in person. This was great when it went on, could be a 1 coater but I did 2 to make it richer.

 Direct sunlight


 And a shade picture. You can see the flakies better, they seem to be like a pink/red foil.

And then I layered a thin coat of Pros & Bronze over the Love is a Racket. 

  Direct sun


  Some shots in the shade so you can see the bronze on top easier.

I liked this set! I don't have anything like either colors in my stash already so I am glad I got it. What do you think? What's your favorite? Thanks for reading!

  4. Pretty! Almost reminds me of Zoya Reva, but different enough to be osm on it's own accord.

  5. @Sandra, thanks!

    @imfeelingnail-venturous, that was my favorite when i first opened the package! But on the nail. I started to like Love is a Racket, too.

    @constantly undone, thanks. I'm not familiar with that Zoya but I'll check it out!

  8. @Olivia, too bad!! The lady there saw me looking at it and told me they probably wouldn't last long and convinced me to buy it on the spot LOL.

    @beauxs mom, thanks. I think with them together, it gives it a nice "fall tone"
