OPI Black Shatter Top Coat – January 2011

OPI’s Black Shatter Nail Polish from Katy Perry + Serena Williams’ Collection is going to be released in January of 2011, and I can’t wait!

There are other bright, funky, sparkly colors in the line, but what interests me most is the Black Shatter!

What is it?

Black texturizing top coat

What’s so special about it?

You are able to paint it on top of any color, and as it dries, it begins to break apart until it looks like it’s been shattered to pieces. The thinner the coat, the more it cracks, so you end up creating an almost leopard-print pattern. Brush on a heavier layer, and the effect is completely different—the polish that’s underneath will peak out from behind larger chunks of black.

Being that I am so impatient, I did some research and found Barry M’s Instant Nail Effects and found that it was something similar to the Black Shatter.  I ordered it today (Thursday, December 9, 2010).  When it comes, I will definitely post pics and a review.

Until then, I am waiting patiently for January OR maybe the folks over at OPI will send me a bottle to review .:wink wink:.
