This combo just screamed out to me!
OPI Turquoise Shatter, from the Blue Shatters collection, and Mermaid's Tears, from The Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides collection.
I am loving both collections so much!
I used 2 coats of Mermaid's Tears, 1 coat of seche Vite, then one coat of Turquoise Shatter and 1 more coat of SV.
I had to leave at least one nail showing mostly Mermaid's Tears.
Mermaid's Tears is a perfect dusty sea foam green creme with the most perfect formula.
Turquoise Shatter is my favorite shade of turquoise with heavy green shimmer and applies fabulously!
My camera refused to take a color accurate picture of Turquoise shatter, it is a true turquoise and not nearly as blue as it shows on camera.
I'm going to have fun with these shatters!

I may be in the minority, but I kinda love the look of the tip done in Shatter over the full nail done in the Shatter. The Shatter does appear turquoisey in the light of the flash, is that close to the color?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the one with just the tip done with the Shatter! Awesome idea! I wish my nails were long enough to try that. :)
ReplyDeleteSO PRETTY!!!!!
ReplyDeletePretty
ReplyDeleteI had been wondering if the crackle would look good on tips and you prove it works!
ReplyDeleteWow! I've seen a swatch of these in another nlog and the Turquoise didn't look so good! Here is just astounding!
ReplyDeleteYou come up with some great ideas. I love the shattered tip. I also love Mermaid's Tears.
ReplyDeleteBethany the Martian- You are not in the minority at all. I was going to do all just tips with shatter but hubby asked me to do all shatter. lol Yes the color of Turquoise shatter in the light flash is accurate to the actual color.
ReplyDeletestyrch- You can do a french on shorter nails too! :o)
Nymphette- Come over and I'll do yours!
Hadia- thank you!
Freshie- I think I prefer it that way! :o)
The Nail Buff- Me too, they are great colors!
Akuma Kanji-Awwww....thank you!

ReplyDeleteI picked up Mermaid's Tears too, partially because I liked the name and it's a good color. Glad to hear the formula is great on it so now I know it was a good buy. I'll probably grab the Blue Shatter collection when I have the chance. Even though I have yet to wear a Shatter mani, for some reason I feel the need to own all the colors, hehe.
luv luv luv!! I got this color with silver shatter..ur combo is gorgeous
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteI love the metallic shatter, that's gorgeous! I wish my nails were long enough to do the tip!
ReplyDeleteI la la love this, as Kellie would say! I am on an unintended no buy, I hope I will be able to get my hands on all these OPI eventually!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so awesome. I love the French shatter. The colors also make a nice combo. <3
ReplyDeleteLove these two colours together really cool looking. Ive tried the shatter as a tip but it didnt look good on me, my nails are too short for it to look good that way.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog xx
That looks so awesome. I love the French shatter. The colors also make a nice combo. <3
