Got a Mani w/ OPI Shatter... Also Shellac info

I got a mani today... undercoat is Essie Sexy Divide (which is now one of my favorites!!) and I got the silver OPI Shatter topcoat on top of it which was an extra $2 on top of the $6 mani.

Not really sure if I'm digging it. What do you all think?

Also I inquired how much they charge for Shellac for future reference and they charge $20!!! I went to Fashion Nails in Wantagh.

I can be into some pretty unique things, but the shatter trend is not for me.

It always reminds me of nails that need a fresh manicure! Chat Icon

But it's hard to go by me....I don't even like fake nails or long nails. I like them just trimmed nice and neat and short.

I have to say that one benefit of the shatter is that I smudged a little bit on my thumb but you can't really tell because it blends in with the shatter! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

It looks like it didn't "shatter" enough - you should be able to see more of the color underneath. You have to really follow the instructions and only do three stripes - middle and each side - and you can't go over it again or else it gets streaky.

Im not a fan. It reminds me of cheesy airbrushed nail designs.

Not that yours looks cheesy, just the whole shatter thing in general.

I like it! It's definitely different. When I need a change from my boring mani, I'll do the shatter. Chat Icon

Don't like it. I got the black shatter polish and sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. I think it's just the way it cracks, KWIM? Yours kinda looks like it didn't crack, it just looks like they did a bad job of putting a silver polish on. No offense! It looked like that the first time I did mine, too.

Yeah I think she did a crap job too. Some nails look better than others. It's definitely growing a bit on me though! From far away it looks like a dark gray metallic which is kind of cool. Oh well, I tried this and now I know not to do it again! Chat Icon

I've also been using the Essie No Chips Ahead and so far just a tiny nick on the corner of one nail but that's my fault for using it to get something out of between my teeth Chat Icon
