I watched Gossip Girl twice. Hated it, never watched it again. As such I couldn't tell you who the flip Serena is nor can I get excited about the Gossip Girl involvement in this polish collection..what I can get excited about is FLAKIES. My very first flaky polish. Sure I could have bought that Gosh one but I didn't like it because I don't like how most flakies are orange and green (which incidentally is what the Lily Collection from this Gossip Girl collaboration looks like for those who are struggling to get hold of Gosh Rainbow). This is a flaky polish and black creme polish for layering and the flaky polish is BLUE! yay!
Ok so the first thing I want to mention is that "swatch" on the packaging which I personally don't think does the duo any favours, it looks almost like a crackle polish, not the wonderful flaky effect it actually is.
Let's have a little look at the bottles.
Seriously, how gorgeous! I've been waiting for this. The black cream polish is called Serena and the "overglaze top coat" is called It Girl. And here's how they look together.
Pretty no? I found the black a little patchy on one finger, but with a bit of care you could fix that and the top coat is gorgeous, subtle but striking at the same time if that makes sense. To be honest though, as great as the combination is I can't wait to try It Girl over some other colours... green perhaps? Blues? The possibilities are endless and gorgeous.
So that's the Serena Collection, I've also mentioned the Lily Collection which is a Gosh Rainbow type colour "overglaze" over a black with plum overtone base, the final one has to be my absolute favourite, not that I've seen it in the flesh, but go and have a look at the beautiful Blair at
Pandora's Nails. WANT!

I really like that effect, much nicer than the crackle polishes :) Jude xx @jadlgw
