In love

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!!

Tips: Make sure you do the shatter layer really fast as i found mine dry quite fast!

Opi shatter

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! :)

Not impressed at all.

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

Expected more.

I expected sooo much from this product especially because it is OPI - and OPI is of very good quality. This however was very disappointing.

I tried it the first time, applying a very thin coat, but it applied like a normal nail polish colour that was transparent - it didn't "shatter" but it cracked very faintly so that it looked like I had a poor manicure job.

I then attempted it a second time applying a thick coat. While this did shatter, I was unimpressed with the quality. One or two cracked lines here and there- very poor quality.

Don't even bother attempting to put two coats on - because that is just a waste of time.

I will however say that, the black and white shatter works MUCH MUCH better than the red, silver or blue ones.

If you want a cheaper, better quality alternative, I recommend LA Girl Cracked effects polish.

Tips: For best results, you want to make sure that you apply the correct amount of polish - not too little, but not a too much. It will take practice to see what amount makes the best shatter.

A bit Pricey

I recently got one of these from a friend of mine and I couldn't wait to try it. But to be honest I was kind of dissapointed, I hoped it would work much better then it did and there are nail (shatter) polishes better than this at this price. The shatter effect did not work that well, but applying more made it look worse :/

Mixed reviews

This product is okay, I got it in the white and navy. The white one was kinda gluggy and went on like white out. The navy one was smoother but it didn't give a huge crackle effect. Overall it sort of does the job but isn't a fav of mine.

Loved this idea of this product

I was quite disappointed with this product. LOVED the idea and was really wanting it to be good however I found it hard to apply the right amount, too little and it would not shatter properly and too much and it would just not shatter at all. It was really hard to get the right amount so would end up having to repeat some nails and it just got too frustrating...

Shattered!

These are good but fair warning, its better over nail polish that has been there for a few days and has time to properly harden. The shatter doesn't really do its thing very well if you do it as soon as the underneath colour has dried.

Tips: Its a good way to renew nail polish that has started to chip and crack without having to repaint your nails!

Works well. Don't like the concept

Let's start with the negatives I don't like the concept of this. To me it seems like your nails are chipped and I don't feel it is a sophisticated look. On the other hand if this is the look for you I do think OPI is the best brand out there I have tried to achieve this look. It goes on smooth and cracks evenly as long as you use another opi underneath. The polish does last a decent amount of time.

Tips: Don't apply to much or too little because then the cracks will either not be there at all or will just competently crack into little horrible looking chipped nails

Love the Opi Shatter

I love the shatter. It looks really nice. You can wear it to work or out with the girls. It makes you nails looks nice all the time and it coming in many colors makes it better.
