The most amazing nail polish ever! My nail grew overnight to a strong healthy length. Wear & Tear proof!
Totally fell in love with OPI Black Shatter- it looks great with any colour under the black- you can use any colour you like, I did a test run with white (cause I think black & white look amazing together in fashion, so why not in nail polish)? You want to use a high contrast colour like hot pink, bright blue, yellow, orange, etc for this to look the best. I would stay away from dark shades as you will not be able to see the colour underneath the black.
1st step is to apply your bright colour nail polish, do a second coat if need be & then finish with a top clear coat (this will make sure the bright colour really shines when adding the black on top).
2nd step is to make sure your nails are completely dry, when you think their dry I would wait an extra 5 minutes after that, just to be safe!
3rd step is to apply the shatter coat, I would say clean off the brush quite a bit before you apply a coat of Shatter as you don't want it to completely cover the original colour. Try not to go over it too many times (I tried to go once down the middle, then once down the right side, followed by the left side). You have to move quickly on this, I found the shatter to dry pretty fast, also try not to go over the same spot twice.
4th step is to apply a top coat, the Shatter is pretty matte & you will be able to feel the bumps & cracks of it if you don’t, this will also give the look a super high gloss finish.
FYI- the bottle it says to use Shatter with Katy Perry nail polish line, but I think that’s just a marketing ploy as it will work on any nail polish you have, may that be OPI, Revlon, Mac, etc.
Overall I would totally recommend this product for anyone looking to have some fun with their nails!
I love the OPI brand of nail polishes. They go on smooth, have a vibrant color, are long lasting and pretty chip resistant. I find my nails grow out first at the cuticles well before my first chip appears. I have tons of colors and find they are the one brand of nail polish I tend to stay true to because of the quality.
OPI was the one and only nail polish we ever used in esthetics class and i instantly understood why! This is a brilliant line of polishes and there are none better. OPI has everything you could ever want in color and is the leader in new and trendy polishes. The application is simple and easy flowing. Not too runny not too thick, it is just right every time and the brushes last forever. The price is worth it. This is my go to line of polish and i always recommend OPI to anyone i know.
I have (too) many bottles of OPI polish. They are constantly releasing new shades and not only follow trend but create them. They make great cream polishes that are often one coat wonders. Formula can vary from shade to shade, but for the most part they are great, long lasting, vibrant polishes.
Lately, they can be trickier to get in Canada and from e-tailers that will ship to Canada, but they are totally worth getting if you can!
OPI nail lacquers are my favorite of all the polishes that I have tried. The formula is spot on, not to thick and not to thin. The color saturation is amazing and with a lot of the colors, you don't even need a second coat. The brush is wider than some, but it's nice because it covers more area and makes it easier to get a more even coat. I have Vampire State Building, Rumple's Wiggin', and Ogre-the-Top Blue. Recently when I was in Seattle, I found a beauty supply store that is open to the public and that sells almost any OPI color you could possibly think of. So, if you live in the Seattle area, you know what I'm talking about and you need to get your butt on down there. For others, I highly suggest Amazon or Google sites that you may be able to get them cheaper at.
I love OPI nail polish. It really lasts a long time and the colours are all really great. I only wish it dried faster, but I suppose it isn't the worst thing in the world to have to relax a bit while my nails dry! My favourite colour is I'm Not Really a Waitress. It's a delicious red with a bit of shimmer to it. My other favourite was Bailin' Hay in Santa Fe, but they discontinued it about 5 years ago! I was told that OPI never discontinues a colour, but lo and behold they discontinued the best every day "wear to work" nude they ever had! My advice is to buy a few bottles of any colour you really love, just in case it gets discontinued!
Not only does OPI stand up tot the daily dish test but I love the names! When I can't pick between two colours, i go for the onw with the best name!
Love OPI polishes, I only have a few but I love every one. Some people aren't a fan of their new pro-wide brush but I enjoy them. Their colors are great and the quality is pretty consistent. Wear time is pretty good however I generally use a base and top coat but I can get 7 days of hard wear (I'm not very gentle on my hands).
I The OPI nail polish is always my choice when I go and get a manicure/ pedicure at a salon. The quality is great. i haven't even put a clear coat on this time around and have only reapplied once. The longwear factor is great and the hues of the colors are neat in this package.
I would recommend OPI Nail Lacquer to anyone who loves color. Also, the names are really fun of the polish and makes for a great topic of conversation at the salon. Last time I got a pedicure, I had on Strawberry Margerita and so did the manicurist. It was pretty fun that we recognized the color and had something to talk about right away. Talk about breaking the ice! Enjoy your polish and I recommend it!
