OPI - Katy Perry Colors & Black Shatter

We love 'em!

The Teenage Dream seen here was so pretty that it was almost disappointing to cover it with Black Shatter. It is a cheerful, pale pink with two types and sizes of glitter. The bottle matches the polished result on your nails.

The Last Friday Night blue is very pretty once applied. Look at this gorgeous light blue! But wait- the bottle color looks dark. Well... it took us SEVEN coats to get close to that shade. We could have added a few more to obtain the color we thought we had purchased. Last Friday Night is a beautiful shade even with just two coats. It's a color you won't regret giving a try.

It took us SEVEN coats to achieve
 the color portrayed here.





Honestly, the Not Like the Movies polish was the one that Colleen L. was the least excited about, and Silvia L. liked right away. That changed once we polished our nails. It's our new favorite! It looks great on every skin tone. The alternating lavender and green hues over the polishes' steel grey base keep it fun and fresh. In certain lighting, one hand had a purple-esque look while the other hand reflected a soft green. Neat!



Left: Not Like the Movies / Right: The One that Got Away



The One that Got Away is described as a 'deep berry' and has a slight shimmer. .... It's a nice twist on similar shades that are so popular they are a nail polish / pedicure staple. This one is sure to be a top-seller.

The Black Shatter is still all the buzz. Jimmy Fallon even commented on Maria Menounos' shattered manicure recently on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Click Here to view.

Glambo has multiple posts about Black Shatter and all the shatter/ crackle colors. Take a look around our blog and bookmark it if you are becoming a shatter fanatic. Thanks for stopping by!

Black Shatter - So Popular Even Jimmy Fallon will Notice Your Manicure

Maria Menounos appeared on Jimmy Fallon last night. She stopped by to chat and promote her book, 'The Everygirls Guide to Life' - which we can't wait to read! The Late Night host sees her nails and Maria talks about OPI's Katy Perry Black Shatter here: We also like Black Shatter over silver. Maria should take Glambo's tip and touch up the ends. With the polished shatter effect, you can get away with an imperfect manicure by brushing more black shatter over the chipped edges.

Black Shatter, Where Are You???

The hottest new product you can't get!

We've seen OPI's Katy Perry Black Shatter polish advertised in magazines for months. Deliveries were scheduled for January, but pros and consumers alike can't seem to get the product. Glambo's advice: If you see Black Shatter anywhere, buy it!

The 'shatter' effect is what makes it so popular. OPI's Black Shatter goes over any nail polish color. As it dries, the black breaks apart and creates a leopard effect. Thicker coats allow for more black coverage, whereas thinner coats allow more of the base color to show through. It has a matte finish, so top coat is essential to add some shine and ensure your manicure will last longer. The Katy Perry colors seem to be very hot as well. The pink, Teenage Dream, which OPI describes as, "A dreamy pink glitter that you’re sure to crush on!" also seems to be selling out right away.

Pre-Teens to cougar-aged ladies agree that the Black Shatter effect is amazing. This is why the polish is impossible to find. It seems that stores have completely underestimated the demand for this product, and ordered limited quanties. Snow storms on the East Coat have grounded airplanes and delayed shipments. Professional beauty supply stores tell us that when they finally receive their stock, the entire inventory sells immediately. Manicurists are hard pressed to even get a bottle to try the effect on their clients. Retail stores are also having difficulty obtaining enough of OPI's Black Shatter to meet the demand. Local Ulta stores tell Glambo that they sold thirty bottles within hours at each of their locations. Waiting lists are popular, and one thing is certain: The Katy Perry Black Shatter by OPI may be HOT, but you are going to have to wait to try it.
