Shatter

Yet another Simple Mani

7:15:00 PM

I shall start this post by saying that my left hand pics still show damage.  I probably should have never posted them and will get random rude comments, but whatever.  I liked the mani and wanted to share.  And I'm too lazy to photoshop a smile or sad face over it.  Luckily, the nail now is grown out and I am one happy chicka.

I did it again, another simple manicure, and this time, it is even more simple than my last simple one.  I haven't felt too well lately, weather has been funky going warm to cold back to warm again and it has done a number on my sinuses.  When I sat down to paint my nails, I just wasn't feeling it.  I wanted something quick, easy, and cute.    Plus, since I still have that lovely damaged nail, I didn't want to waste extensive time on nail art.

Sure enough, simple turned difficult.  I hated everything I was doing and ended up taking off three manicures before settling on some glittery pretties.  I probably should have just done nail art and it would have been faster.

Here are the right hand pics...not too shabby, kinda blurry. 



Then my injured left hand in the sun.




Colors Used:
  • Revlon - Charming
  • Sinful Colors - Frenzy
After a few days, I was still not feeling right and was still rather lazy so instead of taking off my manicure, I decided to refresh my nails!  A few diagonal swipes of shatter, and my worn off tips were not noticeable!

I couldn't get a decent picture of my right hand, so here's the injured lovely.




Refresher Polish
  • OPI Black Shatter
I haven't used my Shatter polish in ages.  Not going to lie, I'm still rather intrigued by it.  It amazes me how it crackles apart and doesn't destroy the paint underneath.  Since I was tired, the shattered lines weren't as straight as I would like, but it did the job for the time being.

Do you do refresher manicures?  Have Shatter? Love it, hate it, confused by it?  Also, who else wants Spotted?!  OPI better offer that in the US soon.

Simple Shatter

Was lazy the other night and quickly slapped this on my nails.  Kind of upset that it's been 2 days and it has already started to wear off on the edges.

It is still mind boggling to me how shatter works.  You paint it on and it cracks and shatters without destroying the under coat.  Literally, mind boggling to me haha.

Colors Used;
  • Funky Fingers - Blue Foil - I'm not sure of the exact name but it is the exact blue as Color Club's Luminescent from the Foil Collection.
  • Funky Fingers - Pink Foil - Again, not sure of the exact name, but it is the exact pink as Color Club's Foil Me Once from the Foil Collection
  • OPI Black Shatter
  • New York Color - White Lights Glitter
  • Sally Hansen Top Coat
I think my top coat has seen a better day and that's why the edges have gone so fast.  Either way, it was still a simple and cute manicure that took about 10 minutes, so I'm not overly upset.
