OPI Nail Lacquer BLACK SHATTER - Katy Perry Collection

 (187 customer reviews)

Having used shatter or crackle polish by OPI, LaRosa and China Glaze, I have some basis for comparison. They all work, it's your subjective taste that matters. The LaRosa shatter pattern is sort of a random pattern. The China Glaze is more like a snakeskin shaped pattern. In my opinion, the OPI is the nicest - it's clean and geometric, like tiny parallel rectangles.

The OPI is easiest to work with too. It's got a less gloppy or thick formula, so it goes on more cleanly, and shatters more intricately. It's a true black, nice and dark, covering any base coat well. It's too bad OPI came out of the gate with the black and has been slow about other colors. Fortunately other manufacturers have stepped more quickly into the blooming shatter market.

If you haven't used a crackle or shatter polish, please read on. These are a lot of fun, and look great. It makes me crazy when I see reviews of disappointed people saying "It didn't work" and you can usually tell...Read more

I bought this product online when all the stores around me were sold out and I didn't want to wait to try it! You simply paint it on over another color (make sure it is REALLY dry or else it might not work correctly) and it looks black at first but then starts to separate into the crackle effect. It looks awesome, especially with white nail polish under! Check out my review coming soon on my blog too at [...] I am going to post a review soon with photos.

Bought it in person and just tried it last night. Absolutely LOVE IT!!! Did it on my toes but since you can't see it as good, it just looks messy unless you know about this. But definitely recommend this for fingers! Used one of the Katy Perry colors with it and it came out great. Can't wait to try it with other colors! Wish they would do the shatter in other colors too.
