Review: OPI Silver Shatter

^Above Photo: This is after 4 days of wear.
I've been curious about OPI Shatter polishes for a while & when I saw them on Catch Of The Day for a great price I decided to give them a go. I purchased Red, Silver & White.

Silver is definitely my favourite of the 3 as it seems to work the best for me.

How to use it?

At first I had problems getting this polish to shatter properly however I realised I wasn't giving the base coats enough time to dry, once I did that it worked well & I'm getting better every time I use it.

What does it look like?

The Silver Shatter has a beautiful glittery silver sparkle to it which looks better with a clear topcoat. It's really eye-catching & definitely gets noticed! When I first put it on it seemed to look like lumps of glitter, but I was using too much. The trick is to use a thin coat all over the nail.

I've tried it over a number of colours, but I find the best colour is an opaque black. A dark navy or purple would probably work just as well.

In the picture to the right I have:

2 x coats of Ulta3's Midnight (Black)
1 x thin coat of OPI's Silver Shatter
4 x coats (1 per day) of Ulta3's clear Non Chip Clear polish.

Verdict

I can't help looking at this nail polish, especially in the sun. It's amazing. I also get a LOT of compliments wherever I go. I will continue to use Silver Shatter & definitely recommend it!

Omg! When I first saw the picture, I thought it was like a promotional/campaign photo or something haha. The shatter looks perfect and so do your fingers and nails.

I would love to see photos of the other shades.
