OPI Black Shatter!

Ironically enough, my Black Shatter came in an hour after my last post. I should have known that would happen. I had a feeling I would get it that day, but I didn't have time to wait for the mail. Figures. Anyway, I didn't just get the Black Shatter, I got the Serena Williams Glam Slam Set which also comes with Simply Smashing. Ok, I know this is stupid, but I got really upset about it yesterday so I have to tell everyone. Yesterday, I went to Harmons (discount beauty) and as I was passing their OPI section I noticed they had the Glam Slam Set, and it was only $13.99! UGH! I paid $20.99 on ebay! That was the best price I had found, I didn't even consider that they would have it because Black Shatter was sold out everywhere!!! Really overspending $7 isn't bad at all, but its the principle of the thing. So, that's my sad sorry for the day. Now on to the polish!!

Here is the set


Next up is Simply Smashing


Because this is Serena Williams, of course there would be a tennis ball colored polish. When I first saw it online it really looked super tennis ball green, and I didn't expect it to be so glittery. I was pleasantly surprised that I liked it. I have 2 coats on here and the coverage is pretty good. It is a tiny bit sheer so make sure the coats are thick enough. It's a really nice smooth formula, and I didn't expect anything less from OPI.

It even matches my couch cushions!


Now for the Black Shatter!


Finally, some decent shots! 

The Black Shatter is awesomeee. Once you put it on it instantly starts to crackle. It's really cool. I had high hopes for it and it really delivered. Now depending on how thick of a coat you put on the way it crackles will be different. 

With a thinner coat you'll more crackling that results in smaller pieces of the black
With a thicker coat you'll get less crackling and bigger pieces of the black.

When I was reading other reviews, I say some people saying that the Black Shatter was kind of goopy, but I didn't experience that. The application was good. At first I did have some trouble getting enough on the brush, but then you get used to how it works. This is seriously awesome. I love it. No complaints at all. My mom even liked it. 

Oh and I wanted to show you all this awesome site. This lady hand paints every pattern on her own nails and it is freakin amazing. http://supanails.tumblr.com/, definitely check that out!

Until next time,
The Wicked
