Ancient Nail Lacquer

This OPI Black Shatter Nail Polish is Ultra Hot

— March 8, 2011 — Fashion
The new OPI Black Shatter nail polish is one that will crack on its own, giving your digits an ancient yet modern and chic look.

OPI Black Shatter is flying off of shelves and giving girls a DIY leopard-print nail. After painting your nails whichever colour you prefer and letting them dry, you can use OPI Black Shatter as a top coat over your colored polish. After a few seconds, the top coat cracks, letting your base color shine through.

Unfortunately, Black Shatter only comes in a matte finish, so you’ll have to top coat the look if you want your nails to be glossy overall. Gorgeous and definitely stylish, OPI Black Shatter is being worn by both celebrities and fashionistas alike. This top coat is definitely an interesting way to add some spice to your classic nail polish color.
