Sally Hansen Pink crackle

I have several of the OPI shatters including black, turquoise, white and silver. I saw the Sally Hansen version of it at Walmart and since it cost under $6, I decided to give it a try.


For the base I used OPI's Play the Peonies. It's from the Nice Stems collection. I rarely use an entire bottle of nail polish so I really like the minis. 


Here is a picture of it with flash. it's a light, almost white pink. It was a bit thick so I used two coats.

Here is Sally Hansen's Crackle in Fuschia Shock. First I tried it over black and it didn't turn out well. I guess it crackles best over light colours. 


I put on one thick coat and it shattered great!! Right away the cracks appeared and they got even bigger after I added a clear top coat. 


I really liked the way it turned out. I'm a huge fan of pink so I'm glad I stumbled upon this shatter. I'm not sure if it will last as long as OPI but it's worth a try!

Navy blue

Here I combined a navy blue with some glitter


This colour is Sue vs. Shue from the Glee Sephora by OPI minis collection. I used one coat, the colour is quite rich and easy to apply.


Next I added one coat of Mint Fizz, a scented colour by Revlon. This colour is watery so if you want to wear it alone it is best to apply several layers. It can get messy so wait for the coats to dry in between applications.


I really like the way the glitter made the navy blue underneath pop out!!



The products I used (from left to right) are Sue vs. Shue from the Glee collection by OPI, Mint Fizz by Revlon and Sephora by OPI 3-1 base, top and strengthener for the top coat.
