New Nail Polish Effect - OPI's Black Shatter!

Have you heard about the new OPI nail polish called Black Shatter? I first saw it in a magazine and thought it looked awesome. When I tried to buy it at a few local beauty stores, they were sold out and imagined a line for the nail polish for the next few weeks! Crazy. So I ordered it online and got it this past weekend.

You simply paint this top coat over an existing color (make sure it is REALLY dry first. My nails had been painted a few days prior so they were dry for sure, but my cousins tried to paint it over nail polish that wasn't quite dry and the effect didn't really work.) then wait a few seconds and the paint starts to separate into the crackle effect! I have no idea how they do this.


So what do you think? I really love it, especially with the white nail polish underneath. It makes it almost look like a zebra pattern! This nail polish can be a bit more expensive in some places, but I think it is worth it. It should last a long time and has such a great effect you can't find anywhere else!

What do you think of it? Will you try it?

You can look at it more and buy it on Amazon from my blog! Just scroll down on the right side to see the box with Black Shatter nail polish, simply click to look at it and even buy it! :)

Here's what I thought of the VMA's..

They might as well been called The Gaga's, or as Chelsea said... GA ga!

Let me first say I was very excited for the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). They had been showing commercials and promos for weeks, if not months. One of my best friends and I planned to watch it together and were geeked for some of the performances.

Let's start with the letdowns and work our way to my favorite parts.

LAME:

• I love Chelsea Handler. She's hilarious on her show and I've seen her live. Poor girl was nervous. I did laugh at some of the bits, but for the most part...not so funny.
  
• Justin Beiber, I thought you were 12. Apparently you're 16. That is not good. That's all I'm sayin'.
  
• KANYE. Okay, T. Swift went up there with a heartfelt song about how you're still innocent and that she basically forgives you because everyone makes mistakes. You come out (last also, great job MTV!) and sing a song about how it is okay to be a douche. Gag.
• They had random performances which they cut off. I suppose they were for the attendees while we were shown commercials, but still. I would have liked to see more of some of those..
• Gaga won EVERYTHING. I hate when one artist comes and steals all the awards. I know it is not their fault everyone likes them, but show someone else some love, voters.
  

AWESOME:

• I loooooved performances by Florence + The Machine (so much in fact, that I downloaded her CD today), Paramore & B.o.b (Love them, especially Paramore!), and Taylor Swift.
  
• The parts with Chelsea where she was meeting the new artists. Chelsea + Ke$ha = golden.
• Drake! I love him. But Mary J. Blige and Swizz Beats could have left and no one would have cared. I wish he would have sung "Over".
  

Overall, pretty entertaining but disappointing. There's always next year...

What did you think if you watched it?
