OPI Black Shatter has arrived!!

YAY, Black Shatter is finally here!! I was soooo excited when it arrived!! I wanted to try 2 different manis, so I decided to layer it over a sparkly gold & then a flakie.

Here is the first one I tried....I did a base of Orly Luxe and then a coat of China Glaze Medallion, which FYI is my fave sparkly gold glitter! Black Shatter needs to be used over a 100% dry mani, and used VERY quickly. I actually prefer the smaller cracked looked, like in my previous post, but this is still nice.





Then I wanted to try it over a flakie, so I used a base of Love & Beauty, from Forever 21, and then added Nfu-Oh 50 over top.

1 word.......BEAUTIFUL!!


Now here it is with Black Shatter over top

  8. the 50 is stunning over the love and beauty. I too like the thinner smaller cracks in the last manicure. The barry m one is more like OPI fyi in terms of result thn the kelier. Loads of great manis this week Erika !

    Polish Lava, you should def go grab it if you still can. It is fun to play with

    Stacie, It does dry semi mate. I can't compare to Barry M, since I've nver used it, sorry.

  10. Both manis look great! I got my Black Shatter last wk and I love it :) It's just a lil annoying that it dries so fast. Its already a bit crusty around the bottle top :( Oh well! Love it anyway!

  11. I actually prefer the big cracks to the smaller ones of other crackles/shatters because you can see more of the polish underneath.

    I wore the Black Shatter yesterday over The One That Got Away and I loved it but it stained my nails! It was really bizarre... I had on Seche Base and two coats of TOTGA and for some reason I could see where the shatter was after I removed my polish. I eventually got it off but it took some time. Did you have this problem?

  14. Mine arrived yesterday and I just HAD to use it before my volleyball games (brought us good luck - we won!) ... it is SO pretty. I used it over lime and it's just smashing.

  15. whoaaaah, NFU-OH 50 is hot! Great idea to try shatter on top.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I like this shatter effect! This one and the one yesterday are both too cool, so I'll be glad to own both! I love the colors you put underneath! Sooo cool! I can't wait to mix & match!

  19. Thanks you guys!!!

    Spunkster, Oh I know!! I went to use it again, and it was just falling out of the lid!

    Tracie, omg, no, I haven't, but then again, I haven't worn it long, maybe like an hour, lol.

    Ari, Nice, CONGRATS on your win!!

    Crystal, it really is nice having both, since they are both very different!

    Nolitoshy, I know it's being sold in Ulta's and JCPenny's salons for sure.

  22. I'm confused! I was told at the salon that the OPI crackles only crackle when put over a few of the OPI nail polishes... I guess that isn't true!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Lula, oh no, I can't believe someone told you that! It is so not true. The crackle polishes work over EVERY nail polish out there
