i think this was really good and better than like all the other brands i tried. It didnt like clump and get hard and gross on my nail. it was smooth and easy to put on. it lasted long too. all the others that i tried were hard after a while and i regretted buying them. Also i like how i can get alot of colours like red where other brands only had like silver.

I do like the range of OPI and was keen to try the shatter to create new effects with my nails. I originally had black then silver shatter. It goes on well and dries quickly but does need a top coat to get a nice polished shine look, and last longer. Also doesn't take long before the polish gets a bit gloopy, so buy some thinner to keep it going a bit longer.
This product was well advertised and the effect looked awesome! It came out at a time where nail polish was becoming less boring and more complex than just a coat of glitter on top.
I got the original black one and it was a very cool product! I found it sometimes hard to use and get even across the nail which was really important to getting the right final look. After a few months of owning the product, it got quite thick in the bottle and very hard to apply, so maybe the formula needs a bit of work so that it has a longer shelf life.
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.
During the Shatter polish phase I got a couple of cheap two dollar bottles to give it a try. Probably in the last year I saw a couple of bottles on trade me going so I quickly wanted to get them. With OPI being known for their quality I wanted to give this a try.
I have these shatter polishes in both Black and white colours. The bottle is a 15 ml which lasts quite a long time. This nail polish brush is very thick and full. The consistency of this polish is quite thick.
When I apply this polish I like to do a two toned affect underneath with normal nail colour, then go over with this shatter polish. I find it shatters evenly across my nails.
With a top coat this shatter lasted me about 3-4 days. Without a top coat it lasts me about 1-2 days depending on how active I am with my hands. I was lucky to get my nail colour at a bargain on Trade me. I wouldn't buy this for 24.00 dollars. I enjoyed this product. I've gotten so many good comments about it too.
When i first saw this i had to try, now im not a big fan of the cracked look so wouldn't repurchase. It went on nice and evenly and lasted awhile too even longer with a top coat, but i found if i hadnt let my bottom colour of nail polish dry for a few hours sometimes that wiould also crack and look quite tacky, it worked really well when i used an opi nail polish on the bottom if i was going for the two toned effect. If your into the funky cracked look this is defintely something i would recommend.
Tips: If your going for a two toned cracked look make sure you let your bottom color layer dry for a couple of hours, also for the bottom layer i found using opi worked best (probably because opi is good quaility) and top coat it! lasts so much longer
I LOVED shatter polish when it first came on the market but it didnt take long before the nail polish became thick and glumpy and hard to apply. I no longer use it and just stick with feature nails :)
OPI's Shatter nail polish is foolproof to apply and the look is exactly as advertized, which doesn't happen very often! I loved Black Shatter so much I went back and bought several other colors. I had so much fun experimenting and I got loads of compliments! Why the low rating then? Well, within about 2 months they all dried out! completely useless! I was so disappointed and had to throw them out. I suppose I would buy again if I was planning to use it all in a short period of time.
This product works perfectly until it doesn't work at all.
I dont really like shatter so im not sure if that effects my opinion of this product but I found it hard to use. It went kind of chalky looking when dry and pooled in areas more then others. I have black, so a tricky colour to use but for me it just didnt work! I paid $8 at The Warehouse so not full price but still I wont use it again. The bottle like all OPI is a nice design and very sturdy.
Tips: Try blowing on them, to help it set a bit better.
I purchased these as I heard so much hype about the OPI shatter! Unfortunately they are too over rated!
I have small nails and I think I only got 2 lots of shatter per hand. I was dissapointed. OPI has such a great reputation but I found these polish's usless. would love for them to improve the formula
