OPI Shatter Review

The shatter effect was unnoticeable and I felt it looked like a tacky job done by a three year old. Would not use again.

I pre ordered this stuff when it first came out and thought it was pretty amazing! I still do, it's a great way to make your nails just that little bit more interesting! I put my black shatter under Fluro nail polish and get a lot of great comments! Although it dries out very quickly and gets glugy so you have to be careful when using it that it's closed properly and as often as possible. When applying to the nail, thin coats give you a lot more cracks, thicker ones give you bigger, less cracks. But if you put too much on it probably won't crack at all! (I had that problem when I accidentally put too much on) but this nail polish is easy for anyone to use! :)

I LOVE these shatter products, they have an amazing final look and are quite thin and just look really good. The only colour i don't like is the black which is really gluggy and goes on really thick and you can tell when you see it on your nails!! It works really well on nail polish that isn't o.p.i also!!

The final look of the nail Polish is great it cracks really well and does what it is supposed to except I have found with my black one it gets so gluggy and sets before i have painted the whole nail which stuffs it up a bit :(

I love my shatters, i have a white one that looks AMAZING over black polish. They can go a bit gluggy, it's just the nature of the stuff, but nothing a bit of thinner wont fix. It's relatively thin (in its normal state!) and this is good for spreading it quickly over the nail. Sealed in with top coat this looks really good and lasts well. It can shrink, so best to do a smooth and accurate coat as close to the cuticle as possible

As a huge fan of OPI i was very excited when they came out with shatter polish. However i am not a huge fan. The product is quite thick and clumpy compared to the usual formula of OPI nail polishes making it harder to apply and spread out. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but quite often with mine, some areas on the nail would not shatter so i ended up with just a random patch of nail polish which didn't look the best. I have tried the black, blue and gold shades. The black looked the best, the gold was the easiest to apply and the blue straight up sucked! It did not shatter at all and the whole bottle dried out after about 2 months with the lid on tight which was strange. I wouldn't repurchase due to the high price. I have tried "cheap" brands of shatter and they are the same quality as this, if not the slightest bit better.

I got OPI shatter nail polish in Gold as a gift from my MIL. I was happy to receive it as I collect nail polishes and this was my very first shatter collection. The consistency was thin unlike other OPI nail polishes. What I didn't like was it doesn't really match with all nail polishes. I could only make it look good on Red or Blue nail polishes. Same applies to other shatter polish colors, it's hard to pair with other colors. After 3-4 months, the nail polish in the bottle completely dried, it had solidified in to a small ball in the bottle. I was disappointed as I have many OPIs but this particular one was a shocker, even the nail lacquer thinner couldn't come to rescue. Overall I really liked the look of the shatter on my nails, it stands out and gets noticed too.

I had high hopes when the Shatter polish was released as it looked like it would be amazing. I was a little disappointed with the product though as the polish shatters differently depending on whether you do a heavy coat or a light coat and I found most of the times I would have a mix of nails that looked amazing and some that would look so bad I would need to re-do them. This was probably me just being picky but it was annoying. I also found out that if the dried layer on the rim of the bottle flakes into the polish it can cause the shatter to stop working and unfortunately this happened to my black after only being used 2 or 3 times. It is a very good idea for a nail polish but it was a bit disappointing for me.

love this shatter nail polish does exactly what it says it does and creates a cool different look. heaps of awesome colours to choose from too

When done right it looks awesome however I had trouble getting it to look nice found it a bit fiddly.
