This was the bomb like a while ago!

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.

Its not my thing

Wasn't hugely impressed with the effect after applying the black shatter over a white base, but that is totally a personal preference there is nothing wrong with the product and as with all OPI polishes the brush allowed for even, controlled application and wasn't too long to dry. I just don't like the shatter effect, but other than that I would refer to friends who do.

Liked this when it was in trend

It does leave a cool effect after. However after awhile I got bored of the effect and the top colours can be hard to match.

Tips: When it dries out it's hopeless and won't leave the shattered effect anymore

Neat effect for an edgy look

I loved this effect but I think the colour range is very limited. It takes a few minutes to fully reveal and the thicker the coat the better it works. Make sure you mix your bottle thoroughly. Pair it with a glitter base or accent a feature nail with it.

Tips: Apply a thick coat and don't go over it once its on... allow to dry for at least 5 minutes before applying a clear top coat to seal. Works best on contrast colour bases.

Shattered...

When these first came out I purchased almost every colour they had. I still have them and they are still usable, so I guess the shelf life of these is amazing. The down side is that they are hard to use. The shatter must be applied on top of a completely dry layer of nail polish preferably in a contrasting colour. If the shatter is applied to thick it will not shatter if applied to thin it will just coat the base colour and not shatter either. To add to that you need to do the whole nail in one sweep you cannot go over it at all or it does not work. A delicate fine line between fantastic and failure! When you get it right it looks great if you get it wrong it looks cheap and tacky!

Tips: Apply a clear top coat to avoid chipping and peeling.

Works a charm, pretty good

It works well and does exactly whats advertised, but I found it to be not very last-lasting and a bit tricky to apply

Thick

I used the shatter nail polish a few times. It was thick and kind of hard to apply. It did make the shatter look but it started to come off within a couple of days. I really liked the innovative style OPI has and I love their regular nail polish, however shatter looks like something for a teenager and to me looks dirty/cheep on older people.

Tips: Use a hair dryer to dry the polish faster. It also makes the cracks a bit bigger so you can really see the colour underneath.

Effective

I used to love using the Black Shatter to create new effects on my nails. I did often find it hard to make them "shatter" in the same pattern but that probably wasn't the point anyway. This polish did dry up in the bottle before I finished it but it lasted a while anyway! I definitely prefer OPI shatter over the cheaper shatter alternatives.

OPI Shatter

Apparently, I am like a bull in a china shop when it comes to OPI and nail polishes.

I LOVE OPI! But I dont pay attention to what I buy haha!

I accidentally bought a lovely silver OPI, was nice, understated but brings a bit of bling.

I loved it! Then it dried and shattered? Well, what the heck, I was NOT expecting that! You'd think that the brush lid would have given it away! But not to this blind eejit!

While I was expecting it, and it took a while to get used to, I really liked it!

Tips: Did you mean to buy this? YES? Excellent work already! But try putting it over a bright base coat first :-)

O.P.I Shatter

I pretty much have most of them and some are better than others. I love the glitter ones they go on nicely and are not too runny compared to the plain coloured ones. After a while the silver shatter started to thicken and was unusable but before that was really nice.

Tips: Make sure to do only one coat. If you do more than one coast especially with the thin colour ones it won't shatter properly and just look watery.
