Gold Shatter was the shatter shade I'd been waiting for and had such high expectations for. However, instead of wide open chasms this polish dried with barely visible hair-line cracks over my base of Orly's Entourage.
Here's a single picture of the result:
It frustrates me how inconsistent these polishes can be. I haven't given up though and I'll keep working at it until I get a good result that's worth posting. I'd read somewhere the shatter polish needs to dry out a bit and thicken up to provide a better shattered result so I might try that.
Maybe a thicker coat of the shatter polish would give a better result?
Any ideas from you lovelies would be greatly appreciated!!

Hey Vita! I tried the first shatter (black) and wasn't crazy about the whole trend in the end. But applying a thicker coat did make for better crackling effect. But I think the metallic/shimmer formula is trickier to work with. Good luck with it!
ReplyDeletethats how crackles work. LOL sometimes they shatter so nicely sometimes they dont.. i tend to add my shatter after a few hours the polish has dried and i see it cracks more..maybe that will help!? either way i still think it looks nice! and i like the color combo! i think ur ready for xmas!
ReplyDelete@Liz - I'm thinking a thicker coat might work so that's the tactic I'll try next.
ReplyDelete@Maria - My base polish was actually a day old when I applied the shatter so it was definitely dry! Thanks for the compliment on the colour combo. xoxo
