And, our absolute favorite thing we've seen from OPI this year: OPI BLACK SHATTER!! Here's Black Shatter applied to all of the Katy Perry colors. Read tips below for making Black Shatter work for you! You can order all of these colors here.
Note the difference an extra coat of OPI Black Shatter makes - cool huh!
Here are some tips for really making Black Shatter work for you:
1. OPI Black Shatter is perfect for coating on any OPI color - not just Katy Perry. The crazy bold brights have a powerful effect, and so do the really vampy violets and greens. Experiment away.
2. For OPI Black Shatter to work just right, your base coat nail polish color must be 100% dry. In fact, we're suggesting you paint your nails, go do something else, and come back sometime in the next hour to do your second coat, to make sure that the effect is perfect.
3. Adding extra coats of OPI Black Shatter gives a totally different effect. Check out the Black Shatter swatch all the way on the left (only one coat) compared to the swatch all the way on the right (two coats)- the cracks are much more prominent and separated. The variety is awesome!
4. When you first apply the polish, it will look thin and uneven, but don't worry - it's supposed to! Shortly after it starts to dry, it will crack and separate for the effect above.
Enjoy!!
OPI Katy Perry Collection - Video Swatches!

Far from your mother's nail polish company, OPI is making bold moves in touching the artistic heart of a new generation. Their newest collection, the OPI Katy Perry Collection, releases in January, featuring four shameless new shades along with a brand new nail polish finish: OPI Shatter.
The four new shades, from left to right, are Teenage Dream (lavender), The One That Got Away (burgandy), Not Like the Movies (gunmetal grey), Last Friday Night (light blue shimmer) and (not pictured), OPI Black Shatter.
OPI Black Shatter just looks black in the bottle, but it's crinkle top sets it apart as special. And that's exactly what it is! Layer on top of any other color, as as it dries, watch it crackle, revealing whichever color is layered underneath. Cool, huh?
Check out this video from OPI featuring each of the new colors, the OPI Black Shatter effect and even a sneak peak from the OPI Serena collection, releasing next Spring!
