I’ve had the privilege to speak with some incredible people in this industry but Suzi has always been at the top of my nail bucket list and today I can finally cross her off. So far I have met some amazing people and seen lots of fun products and colors at Cosmoprof (more on that to come) but I had a major fangirl moment when I met Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, EVP & Executive Artistic Director of OPI. At least I fly home tomorrow night (gotta love the red eye) and will hopefully be back on track asap. That her typical spot-on sense of direction is so off that she keeps getting lost in the Mandalay Bay, a hotel she has stayed in many times. Maybe there’s something in the air because Deborah Lippmann mentioned this morning that she’s all out of sorts. I rarely have this type of reaction to flying outside my own time zone but this trip is really throwing me off. The time change from Cleveland to Vegas has me in such a tailspin that I honestly have no idea if it’s Monday, Tuesday or Sunday. What day is it? What time is it? I seriously have no clue at this point.

I don't see many coloured shatters by readily avaialble drugstore brands, so these are definitely worth checking out. Goth, as your standard black shatter, has been done before by other brands, but I especially love Punk and Glam Rock, both of which are of good quality and are unique in the colours. Since I'm a huge fan of shatter polishes, I'm absolutely in love with BeautyUK's latest offerings. As with most shatter polishes, though, the thicker the coat, the larger the shatter pieces. As you can see in the photos, it also shattered very nicely, and I didn't have big bald patches or tiny shatter lines. I personally felt that Punk was the easieset out of all the three polishes to apply - it wasn't lumpy in the bottle, and application was good. On hindsight, maybe I could have picked a more contrasting colour to pair Punk with, but hey, it still looks gorgeous right? And I'm not sure how clear it is from the photos, but Punk is HOT NEON PINK! Woohoo! Retina-searing, breath-bating, ice-melting hot pink! Such a beauty. Here it is over Wet n Wild Quartz of Course. Lastly, we have Punk! I was so excited for Punk - after all, how many hot pink shatter polishes are there out there? So I just had to try this. You can see this on my index finger, where the shattering effect was pathetic as the coat was too thick. Here, the gaps were much smaller, and if you apply too thick a coat, the polish won't shatter very nicely. When I wore Goth, you could see big patches of the base colour showing through where the polish had split. Another thing I noticed was that this didn't "split" as much as Goth did. However, it wasn't as lumpy as Goth for some reason, and I applied it with reasonable ease. Like the Goth shatter polish, I found this a little tricky to work with. I love how the deep teal base makes the silver just pop! I was so excited for this, as the large majority of matte polishes up to now have been mattes, so it was great to see them come in other finishes! Here it is over Boots No. The next colour is Glam Rock, which is silver foil. It was a little difficult to get an even coat on the nail. However, I found it a little clumpy even in the bottle, and hard to work with. So if you would like the under-colour to be more visible, this is a great one to choose. One of the things I found when applying Goth was that it really shatters into tiny bits, thus displaying very prominently the colour underneath. Here it is over another drugstore brand, Collection 2000 Aztec Gold. A matte hot pink - can you imagine that? I'm excited!Īnyway, I'm sure you don't want me to blabber on unnecessarily, so without further ado, here are swatches!įirst of all, let's take a look at Goth. The BeautyUK Shatter Polishes have landed! And once BeautyUK puts them out, they do not one, but three amazing colours! The Shatter Polish comes in three colours, Goth, which is a matte black, Glam Rock, which is a silver with a foil finish, and Punk, which is a matte hot pink.
