OPI - Spark de Triomphe

Hi everyone!!  Happy Saturday ;0).

D'Anna (Not Another Nail Blog) and I did a mini swap a while back and she sent me OPI's Spark de Triomphe.  This was one of the Grand Slam polishes released last year.  It has a clear base with a mix of silver glitter and smaller gold glitter.  I don't have anything else like it and it's very unique in my opinion.  This polish is very dense.  The pics below are with 2 coats, no top coat.

While I love this glitter, it's a little too much bling for me to wear it as a full manicure.  The pics above are swatches, so you could see it on its own.  I prefer to wear it as an accent nail.

In the pics below, I added an accent nail (1 coat) to my manicure with my most recent franken.

 Believe it or not, removal wasn't difficult with this glitter.  I was happy with that ;0).  I'll probably used this for a jelly sandwich as well.  I think it would look pretty.

What do you think of Spark de Triomphe?  Do you have it in your stash?

    Wow, that franken is more impressive than Spark!! ^__^
    Some lights it is grey some lights it's blue. It looks really great with that accent nail. The colors pair well together.

    As I started to read your post, I thought, "this would look best as an accent nail." And then, bam, what do you do? You use it as an accent nail. Great minds, anyone? ;)

    Your post actually made me crave a nice full glitter manicure. I do wear those but not at school, so I don't end up wearing them too often. I love it as an accent nail too!

    This was for me, one of the most unique and interesting glitters of last year. The black tiny flecks were new then and I went goofy for that look. Now we have seen more polishes and not just glitters with little black fleck in them. I totally dig that look. It's a surprise. I bought a back up bottle of this one because I thought it might go VHTF in a few years.
