I started with Salon Perfect Sugar Cube on all the nails. Making sure to wipe off most of the polish off the brush, I applied OPI Red Shatter, OPI Turquoise Shatter, OPI Gold Shatter, and OPI Black Shatter. Finished with Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.
I'm happy to have found a new way to use my shatter polishes since there just sitting in my collection collecting dust. What do you think of these shatter distressed nails?
What an awesome idea to do this with shatter polishes! It adds something extra and creative to the design :) I also love the splashes of gold!
ReplyDeleteThanks Robin! Yeah, I was pretty happy with the outcome and for finding a new way to use my shatter polishes too.
DeleteI loooove that you used shatter polishes with the distressed look. Love it. And the gold really pops with the other colours. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Katherine! I'm happy to heat that :)
DeleteSmart idea! It almost looks like paint splatter :D
ReplyDeleteThank you and your right!
DeleteThat's a neat way to do it, never seen anything like it before!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alexandria! :)
DeleteI love this idea...you're so clever. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa!
DeleteBest idea ever! I love how this looks.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deletesuch a cool idea :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteThis is such a fun look! Love the color combo.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marisa!
DeleteThis is fabulous! You've actually make crackle look really, really awesome. Well done! lol:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Liesl! I'm just happy to have found a new way to use them.
DeleteSuch a cool take on this technique!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of using shatter polishes for distressed technique :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for saying that! :)
DeleteI really like how you used the dry brush technique with shatter! The shatter pattern is much finer lines and less chunky looking. The layer of polish looks thinner also. I much prefer this shatter pattern than the typical chunky cracked look! :) great choice for colors too!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yeah, the way that I used the shatter polishes here was a bit more flattering that applying the polish full on the nail. I'm just happy to have found a new way to use them up since there basically sitting in my collection, not getting used at all.
DeleteGreat use of the so little used shattered polish and love the colours!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Now, I can try to use them up before they dry out on me.
DeleteLoved this Nail swatches Lisa Happy Weekend dear <3

DeleteI love love love this look! I want to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I would love to see you do one too.
Deleteoh my gosh! these don't look like shattered polishes at all!!! i love this look! i will have to try it with mine since I never use them (all trend and all)
ReplyDeleteThanks Gosia! I'm happy to hear you think so. I'm totally going to use my shatter polishes for this design now :)
DeleteLove this manicure! Such a fun way to use those shatter polishes that you don't really care for anymore. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks and it is too! :)
