Pretty Good

I love using these shatter nail polishes but personally, they arent the same OPI quality as the rest of the nail polishes. They are worth the money, dry quickly and last a fair bit of time. They aren't my favorite nail polishes but i prefer them over some others

Quick pick-me-up

I have used black, white and dark green shades of OPI shatter and of the three prefer the white. I especially like the white for Summer over coral tones, hot pinks, baby blues etc. I only ever put this on my toes as I find it a bit tacky looking on my fingers but think its a neat little time saver when you don't have time for a pedicure. It gives nails a bit of character and life as opposed to a straight colour. I have had problems with the polish becoming gluey and clumpy so probably wouldn't buy it for myself (I only tried as I was given some) as it's really expensive.

Tips: Make sure its stored somewhere cool - can turn gluggy.

shatter

This nail polish works really well, it doesn't chip off and it actually does shatter. It doesnt take too long to dry which is also helpful but after owning this for a couple months it started to go hard in the bottle, it was very unusual.

OPI Shatter

I have the black and white version of this product and really enjoyed using them when they were in "in".

The polishes definitely did what they were meant to do - shatter however it look me a bit of getting used to. A thin layer gives more "shatters" where a thicker layer gives only a couple of lines which I preferred. The only downside I found was if you messed up a nail you had to start all over again.

Tips: Always apply a top coat to give a nice shine. Due to the number of layers your nails will take forever to dry so be careful or you will need to start over if they get smudged!

easy nail art

I love my nail art and these are great for incorporating into or starring in new looks. theres a real learning curve to using them - thinner coats dry faster and 'shatter' more while thicker coats can be more dramatic..but they are easy to touch up. The bottles are too big - the polish dries out before you get even close to using it all, so not terrifically cost effective, but fun and funky, and if you want to make a statement with your nails then these work well.

Tips: the silver doesn't shatter as well... the black and white are best. I love drawing random designs on my nails with a range of colours and then shattering over the top to create unusual patterns.

Gimmicky and short shelf life

It's okay. It does what it says it does. But let's be honest - this ship has sailed and shatter isn't cool any more. That didn't last long, did it?! I found my shatters started going horrible in the jar after just a few uses! too. All clogged up around the top and hard to get out. I've never had nail varnish do this before?! My 5 year old daughter likes it, so I just use it on her now.

Tips: Use a thin layer for lots of crackle effect. Putting too much on means it doesn't shatter properly and looks stupid.

Shatter

Does what it says it does. But need to be careful as the more you put on in one go, the worse it looks. A light application looks the best. It was good when it was the "in style" look but I don't seem to use it anymore. I have the dark blue one, which I love the colour of. It can look good but also can look bad. One of throes purchases that when brought I used a lot of and now not really at all. Just sits in the cupboard!

Not a fan..

I bought both silver and black when they were in fashion but never really ended up using them that much :(

I found them really hard to get the hang of and really only ended up using the silver one over another colour of normal polish as the black always ended up looking manky and I could never seem to get the right effect with it (even using a really thin layer)

I'm a huge OPI fan but for the price you pay for the Shatter Polish I wouldnt recommend buying them as there are other awesome colours/ nailpolish effects that are easier to use and look better.

Bit of a fad!

I was so keen to get hold of some when it first came out, it wasn't long after the Earthquake in Christchurch I think as I remember people saying "Ooo earthquake nails." I got the black one and loved the effect over bright colours. But the fad was over very quickly, taken over by ones that didn't last long either. And it's just as well really as when I was having a clean out of polishes a few months later, this one had already gone really gluggy and awful!

Tips: Stick to your favourite colours, the 'trends' don't seem to last long at all!
