OPI Shatter Review

I really havent liked this product from the day it came out. I managed to buy me one, I was so excited to give this new Shatter Nail Polish a try, I think it being a new look to the normal nail polishes is what made me so excited about it.

I got the white color one because I thought it would work well with most of the colors I had. When applying,I felt that it gave a rough and ruggered look too my nails, and made my hands feel dirty, the layer was quite thick looking on my nails and didn't suite them at all. Wasnt a fan, but desperately wanted a similar look to the nails showen on the pictures, I then decided to give another go and I brought the black. Wasn't a fan of that color either. Wouldnt buy again

I was quite disappointed by this product. You have to have certain colours for it to have a good impact which means having to buy even more nail polish (nice one OPI) You also cant use a top coat otherwise the shatter smudges and looks terrible. You have to be careful when applying cause i found the shatter can turn out clumpy. I found it totally wasn't worth the stress of applying it.

Not impressed at all? Messy and ugly looking nails. I think I just prefer the smooth finished looking nails.

I purchased a few colours black, white and blue. I used the black a few times but then it turned thick and hard to apply. I had trouble applying it where all nails actually looked good. Some wouldn't crack and overall it just frustrated me and I will never use them again.

Like some of the other reviewers, I wasn't impressed with its staying power. I also felt like it was a bit tacky looking, the idea of it was really cool but the actual product... not so much.

I'd try it with a top coat and that did help for getting it to last, but it still wasn't really my style. I'm glad I only bought one to try and didn't buy a set.

I wouldnt try this nail polish again yea it cracks but not as good as it says it does and it dosent last that long very dissapointed

I bought this when it was new out & everyone was wearing it. Only used it once & once was enough. The polish didn't shatter very well & didn't give the desired affect.

Sadly this polish was a fashion trend. When it first came out i purchased the black and white OPI shatter, and changed between the colours almost daily. Although i don't really use it anymore, my little sister's still love them. I think the younger generation is still in love with this product :)

The polish can be a little difficult to apply, it cannot be too thick but i also can't be too thin (i think practice makes perfect). Start with a base colour, and apply a thin even coat over your nails and apply a even coat of shatter overtop and watch it shatter. For a finished look, finish it off with a glossy top coat.

I felt that the White OPI shatter tended to get very gluggy over time i'm not sure why this was, the black one stayed thin and in good condition.

I think they retail for about $25.00 (which i think is remarkably expensive), but keep an eye out at the Warehouse for sales.

I personally don't think the product is worth $25.00 a bottle, they need to work on their formula to expect this kind of money. It takes practice to perfect this look, make sure you apply fast and don't put two layers on or it won't crackle.

I was gifted this product by someone who knows literally nothing about me. I don't know why she bothered, I suppose it was a nice gesture, but I find shatter polish a waste of time and money.

The color I was given was a gorgeous reddy/pink with a bit of shimmer, and I would have fallen in love if it wasn't a shatter. I didn't find the formula overly runny, nor did I find it super thick and gluggy. I applied it over a light peach color and it applied alright, but then it started cracking, and actually cracked the nail polish underneath which I wasn't too happy with.

Overall it looked okay. There was nothing that jumped out at me and said it looked great, and I eventually took it off later that day. The drying time was the average wait. Would I repurchase? No, definitely not.

I found that it wouldnt shatter as it is supposed to which i was dissapointed about. But might buy another one eventually to make sure it wasnt just that one that doesn't work.
