Love is a Racket is a glowy sparkly almost neon candy apple red glass fleck with magenta pink sparkles. I really love this color, however it's not my favorite with my skin tone. Oh well, I'll probably wear it anyway ;) It's a little hard to capture its brilliance in a photo, this is one you'll have to see in person to get the total feel. It's really bright outdoors but kind of fluorescent dark (if that makes any sense) indoors. It's even a little more coral indoors too. This is two coats, it's extremely pigmented. It reminds me a little of OPI Red Hot Glam, a limited edition polish exclusive to Beauty Brands store, darker and without the glass fleck.
My favorite, perhaps of all the Glam Slam! polishes, is Pros & Bronze. I have to say that I was not the least bit excited about this polish when I saw promo images. I was like, ugh really? I don't know why though, because it reminds me of another favorite of mine, OPI DS Glow. Anyway, once I saw it in person at CosmoProf I realized how wrong I was. It is just fascinating! It is made up of really gorgeous glitter in a metallic bronze and a metallic rose red. Both combine to make a complex and deep looking sexy orangey gold foil. This is three coats of ga ga gorgeousness!
Hope you liked these swatches and hope you are glad to see me again ;)

Welcome back Kellie! Agree with you. This is my fav set of all the Grand Slams. I really like that OPI gave us a red finally in this final issue of the collection. It's a summer collection but easily will carry into fall and the holiday season as well too.

It must happen! :D And now I want Love is a Racket more than ever: "glowy sparkly almost neon candy apple red glass fleck with magenta pink sparkles" = YES PLEASE!!! Thanks so much for these beautiful swatches! <3
ReplyDeleteLove is a Racket was a pain in the you-know-what to take pictures of for me. It looks so nice on you.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you back! I've been missing your posts!
Hooray, you and your nails are back! I don't have any of the Grand Slam polishes. This is one I would like to own. Your nails are look lovely!
ReplyDeleteThese are goooooorgeous!
ReplyDeleteKellie! Welcome back, sweet thing! I loved "guesting" on your blog & can't thank you enough....you're the best!! These shades look totally awesome on you! Did you have the same staining issues with "Love Is A Racket" that I did? I want to know if it was just my bottle, or if it's an issue across the board. Thanks!
ReplyDelete@ommorphiabeautybar.com It was a little stain-y now that I think about it! I'm gonna wear two coats of base next time I wear it.
ReplyDeletePros and Bronze looks great on you!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe missed you!! How close is this to DS Glow? Probably worth owning both, but just curious how similar or different. Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteHey, missed you! Love the red one.
ReplyDelete@Kaydi I mentioned in my post that they are similar but different :) I'm gonna try to get up a comparison soon!
ReplyDeleteI love your shorty short nails! You know I have anail crush on you! Thank you for letting me guest post it was fun. I am so with you on these two, this is the first of the series that I liked both colors!
