...I decided to do a shatter mani with my OPI Turquoise shatter. I had done the mani I decided to layer it over the night before, so obviously my base was already completely dry.
Why then, did this happen:
I don't understand why this happened, and was not a happy bunny when I saw the completed effect. I didn't layer it on mega thin or crazy thick, so I can't see why it didn't shatter properly!
I showed my Mum, and she said that it looked messy- I have to agree! It just looks like it's bumpy and blotchy, with tiny bits of other colour underneath... Not a good look, unfortunately.
I must say, I'm gonna be honest here, as much as I love and adore OPI's products in general (I am a huuuge, absolutely massive fan!) unfortunately, I'm not a huge lover of their shatters...
...Yes, the OPI Shatter colours available are great compared to some other brands, but (on me at least) I can never get my OPI shatters to do the job as well as my Barry M shatters for some reason. I own the pink, white and black Barry M Shatters, and I must say, they perform absolutely brilliantly every time I use them.
Another point about the Barry M shatters is that they are only £3.99 each, whereas the OPI shatters are £10.50.
Having said all this, I'm still really curious to try out the upcoming Gold Shatter from OPI, I think that could be brilliant, but let's put it this way, if Barry M came out with a gold shatter first, I think I'd probably rather buy that... And therefore be able to spend more on the OPI Muppets collection, especially the glitters- (SUPER excited!)
Anyway, enough from me- What experience have you guys had of OPI's Shatters- Is it just me? Do you have any tips or tricks I could try?
And if you've tried Barry M's or Nails Inc's collection of shatters- what do you think?
I'd love to know your opinions!
Lemme know below :)
