OPI Blue Shatter

I wasn't sure what this "shatter" nail polish was like and had only seen the black shatter until I recently received these 3 blue shatter shades. As soon as I got them I had to test them out!

There are 3 blue shatters:

"Turquoise Shatter," "Navy Shatter," "Blue Shatter"

I opted for the light blue from the Nicole by OPI Justin Bieber collection as my base coat then used the "Navy Shatter." I let the first 2 light blue coats dry completely before I applied the shatter. The shatter goes on a little funny. I found you need to make sure you have enough on the brush when you apply it the first time so you don't need to dip the brush back in the bottle to get more polish. It seemed the shatter would dry that quickly and adding more made it look a little messy and took away the good effect. The shatter should go on as an even coat and within seconds you can see it start to separate and "shatter." It was really neat and I have no idea how this works!

Check out these tootsies...a little funky but cute!!


Once again, OPI didn't disappoint me! I really didn't think the shatter look was for me but I think this is a very fun look for the toes!! I'm looking for a good maize color polish so I can do that and blue shatter in the Fall for Michigan football games. GO BLUE!!
