Hey loves! Here is yet another manicure floating around on the interwebs featuring O.P.I Black Shatter...hahaha. I am sure most of you have seen or used this polish or something similar but here is my take on it!
 |
| Two coats of Not Like The Movies..a pretty silvery..green..purple duo chrome. This polish changes colors depending on the lighting and angles. It's really pretty, it reminds of dolphin skin..ha ha I know that sounds weird but it does...and I am pretty weird so what ever. :) |
 |
| One coat of the Black Shatter from O.P.I on my completely dry manicure. It is so cool to watch the shatter take effect I watched almost every nail..ha ha. I was fascinated. It happens almost instantly and dries quickly too! I have seen where people have left it just like this with the Matte Shatter effect..But I wanted to seal everything in and make it SHINE! |
I added TWO coats of Seche Vite top coat because I like my nails to feel smooth and 1 coat wasn't cutting it..I could still feel the texture of the Shatter polish. The top coat makes everything pretty and complete. I can't stop looking at my nails ha ha.
I will admit that I have said in the past I wasn't a fan of the crackle or shatter look but I completely take it back! I had never done it on my nails until this post and I am a fan. I think it looks really cool. I will try it with other bases but I am pretty sure I will prefer it with a base that changes colors. This with a Holographic!! OH MY! I am sure it looks amazing! Hmmmmm..Now I am thinking of which Holo I want to try it with. ha ha. What are your thoughts on this effect? What combinations do you think would work? I am pretty sure I will be picking up the China Glaze Crackle polishes in all of the colors. Thanks for reading!

Close up!
