OPI Shatter Review

I purchased the black shatter nail polish when it first came out and I really liked it, i tried it over a lot of colours from OPI. It was really fun to watch it form the shatter effect. When applying onto my nails I had to make sure I had a good amount on the brush and only do one coat because it doesn't work very well if you apply more coats, it goes streaky and doesn't shatter properly. I also noticed it started going really thick in the bottle and was hard to apply so had to throw it out after awhile. Probably won't buy it again I prefer my nails just one colour but maybe one day if they still have it I would purchase it for my daughter to try.

Shatter polish was a popular trend in nail polish around 2013-2014 I think, before nail art took over. I thought it looked cool, so towards the end of the trend I bought 2 shatter polishes on sale: Black and Silver.

I still wear them. The way I like to use them is to apply them to my regular polish once it starts to wear off, thereby extending the life of my nail polish. This way I can wear ordinary polish for about a week, and then get a couple of days extra wear by applying the shatter polish (silver or black depending on whether I am wearing light or dark polish) which handily covers up any chipping around the edges of the nails. I know the trend is over, but I still think it looks cool.

I bought these when they first came out, been a pretty stoic OPI customer. From memory OPI were the first polish brand to make these type of polishes, and they were very popular at the time.

Like most early adopters, I have the black shade, though it later became available in a number of colours.

It is easy to apply, but does take a bit of practice to get the shatter effect quite right. I did rock shatter effect nails for a while, but have since destashed it to my sister who has quite the OPI collection of her own.

A fun trend and unique trend to try, but one that has fallen out of favour now.

I was expecting good things from this as it is from o.p.i but was very disappointed with it. It didn't go on that smoothly and didn't look good at all. I have tried other brands which are cheaper and worked much better.

OPI Shatter nail polish, I remember that was the hype when they first came out. Everyone went crazy for them and I was one of those people. I mustve had like almost 10, all different coloured shatter, all blew my mind. I think the OPI Shatter nail polish is definitely very cool, very edgy and gets people looking which is always good. I just believe I've grown out of that phase of my life and now tend to stay more towards pastel and calm nail designs :)

I thought the hype or these was well overated when they first came on the market , when I got around to actually using a shatter nail polish the outcome was nothing like the pictures you see on the net I think these are probably best used by a professional.

I loved everything about this nail polish. Great colours, easy to apply. I loved the way it shattered. It did everything it said it would plus more. I loved it. Only thing was that it didn't last long.

When shatter nail polish was all the rage I bought this in black as black looks great with everything. And it did it worked really well for a while but once it got older and I used it less, the liquids inside the bottle started separating and even after shaking well didn't shatter anywhere near as well as it did at the start. Also it took really long to dry.

first time I used this nail polish I loved it because I thought the effects of it was so cool. It did work for a while but for some reason it stopped working after a while and it became hard to apply and thick.

I love these nail polishes and I love the final look when I want a unique look. I have 3 of them but I don't use them regularly because I can't get it right the first time and by the time I put more nail polish on the brush it's already dry. And if I re-apply another layer it becomes lumpy and ugly.

I usually have my artistic friend put it on for me when I want to use it or apply it by myself if I have time to remove and re-do each nail about 3-4 times XD
