This is a quick post to show you Turquoise Shatter over a dark cream shade. I decided to try it over Ski Teal We Drop from OPI's Swiss Collection. STWD is a deep teal cream and I thought this would provide a good base for a tone-on-tone look.
The different shatter finish is really interesting. To quote an old Australian candy bar commercial (for Violet Crumble bars I think?), "It's the way it shatters that matters..." and this shattered very differently from my last combo with the silver foil. When Turquoise Shatter dried over STWD it produced a fault line style of cracking rather than the usual meshy effect. See here:

Which finish do you prefer?
Until next time - I'm off to the airport in a few minutes!

@Grace - Thanks, I think this colour would be great as a solid colour all on its own :) I can't figure out why it shattered so differently - could be that I applied it more thickly or maybe it reacts differently over a cream??
ReplyDeletemaybe try it again but with something different underneath, i have heard that the thicker the coat the smaller the shatter so maybe that was it. ohwell, still looks great!
