OPI Katy Perry Collection Preview
OPI also revealed info on their Katy Perry collaboration today. Can I just say that I’m so happy to see OPI finally embracing social media and not pretending a collection doesn’t exist until the day it launches in stores? In this collection, the colors range from a confectionery pink to a bold blue that seemed to be pulled straight from Katy’s California Gurls video.
From left to right: Last Friday Night, Not Like the Movies, The One That Got Away, Teenage Dream and Black Shatter.
It’s obvious that the glitter party is nowhere near over in nail world. After all the Deborah Lippmann and China Glaze Holiday glitters plus the OPI Alice & Burlesque sparklers the train to Glitter Town won’t be reaching the end of the line anytime soon.
What are your thoughts on these? Are they what you would expect from a collection involving Katy Perry? Do you think that OPI including “Shatter” polishes in two collections means that we’re going to get inundated with crackle from the other major polish brands? Will you give into the cracked polish effect?
UPDATE: Thanks to the readers who pointed out that OPI posted a video on YouTube showing the colors and shatter effect
I just applied 2 coats of Not like the movies let it dry
Then one coat of shatter and one top coat
Applied shatter just like nail polish it will
Separate. I thought I have to use a lighter consistency
I am so loving it

I used the shattered polish and I’ve tried it every possible way. and it sucks. It was too thick. I added polish thinner to it and it still ceased to disappoint me. I even got a professional to apply it for me, and yet it still did not turn out. I give a 1 out of 10 for the shattered polish. Did not enjoy it, and am very disappointed. Waste of good money spent.
umm it worked PRETTY good for me (: obviously your adding way too much SHATTER on one nail …. go over it ONCE then it should apply to crack .
I
Make sure you’re not using China Glaze.. Crackle, that stuff seriously sucks and i had a professional apply that and all.
You know Leah that ceased means to stop right? So it ceased to disappoint you, it stopped disappointing you? Then I’m in! Haha
I just go the shatter polish, and I put a hot pink first coat on then covered it with the shatter. It turned out really well. I used the Teenage Dream shade first, and I didnt think it looked as good, the pink wasn’t bright enough. So I tried a different color. I like it. I found that if I tried to do a thicker coat it made the shatter look funny, or not shatter correctly. One light, single stroke across the nail did the trick.
The “cracked” nailpolish has been done many time. A better version of it, is the long time famed Nail Effects by Barry M.

I totally agree with you Sarah and I just bought today the polish in Boots for only £3,99. And I am very impress with the effect.
what I noticed about the Barry M one was that it dried up and thickenned in the bottle sooo quick it was unusable within a matter of weeks. It looke the part while it was usable tho.
So. Frustrated with opi how they have not suapplied enough of this katy perry collection…I have been trying for almost a month to acquire her collection..They ran out and didn’t estimate that it would sell out or sell so fast…opi u better be making more of this collection or I will be writing more upseting letters to u…thanks…. disgruntled friend.. steph
Steph,
I ordered from Amazon. I got it in 3 days.
I am loving Smash-ing, but agree with most of you that Shatter ends up looking like pieces of a black rubber inner tube on top of my nails. Liking the Crackles from CG way better in application spread. For those of you upset that KP sold out too fast, don’t stop looking (and don’t pay top prices on eBay)…OPI is making more of the collection due to contracts they could not fill with the first original run. The 2nd run of this collection is hitting suppliers now. Rare OPI does this…but when it sold out in less than 24 hrs, they had to do something to appease those long term sellers/suppliers/reps.
CG is that cover girl? Or another brand?
I would assume CG means China Glaze in this case.
I just bought a Black Shatter this past week not knowing that it was even affiliated to Katy Perry. It wasn’t until a customer at work pointed it out to me. I actually buy all of my nail polishes at a nail supply in San Gabriel, CA. I got it for $9 dollars and they still had plenty of stock. Here is the info. if anyone is in Southern California:

(But I think I will be trying the Barry M. cracked product next time since it looks like the effect is slightly better than Black Shatter, although I’m really liking OPI’s version)
i got not like the movies with black shatter topcoat and it looks amazing!! it was really cool to see it happen too (: i love it!
I used a loud neon green base and shattered on top….LOVE IT!
So I want to get the crackle nail polish, but I don’t want to have to buy the other katy perry nail polish to go with it. Does anyone know if the crackle works on any OPI nail polish?
yes it works with all the opi polishes, not just the katy perry line.
It works with any polish
You can use the shatter on anything
.
I just bought the shattered I’m in love with it , I got the black one no sparkle no glitter . & I applied a hot pink then put the black shattered ontop and watched it as it shattered . It was amazing . I applied it on my toes to . & catches everyones eyes . (: I hope that they will have more amazing colors but without the sparkle ! This product made my day
They are coming out with white and silver shatter in the Pirates of the Carribean line for this summer and 3 different shades of blue for May I believe.
They are also releasing red in May. The 3 different blue shades will be navy, turquoise, and blue(which kind of looks like royal blue). So as of May there will be black, white, silver, red, blue, navy, and turquoise shatter nail polishes by OPI.
I already have the blue shatter, red shatter, white shatter and black shatter!!! It looks so amazing!:) I applied it with fluro green polish underneath and it looks soo pretty!!! I love OPI!!!!!!!
where can you buy shatered i cant fibd it antwhere in baltimore md
Ulta in Hunt Valley and Columbia sells it.
Um where can I find the opi Katy perry nail polish in Ottawa ,Canada????
Hey can you tell me where you found it? I can’t find it anywhere
where do you buy this stunning collection??
I got it from Amazon.
I used the Shattered nailpolish and it is awful. Within a day of wearing it, it was chipped off like crazy. Maybe if you are between the ages of 11-15 it is cute, but not when you are an adult buying an overpriced nailpolish. Don’t waste your time.
I used the shattered polish and put a clear top coat over it and I actually found that my nail polish lasted days longer with it on over my color.
Here in Indiana they’re are like no stores that sell Katy perrys collection
where did you guys get yours? Or do you guys know any website online that they sell is for a cheap price? Let me know! Thanks 
well you can go on ebay the have it for like cheap price im sure you can find it there they can sip it to you ttyl
They do sell it in Indiana – try Ulta, BeautyBrands Beauty First, Trade Secret, or any other place that sells OPI. OPI has a “where to buy” tab on their website where you can find a store near your zip code.
LOVE IT. got it and the shatter and other four colours. i love the sparkley ones and the shiney one! make sure you shake well before using the shatter, and for bestest results, apply TWO coats of the colour. you dont have to use the katy perry stuff either, any polish underneath will work. 9 out of 10! everyones so jelous!
Does the Black Shatter ONLY work on the Katy Perry collection? Which shades does it work on! I bought the black shatter, but now I don’t want to use it over top of any random OPI shade…..
oops, I JUST READ THE COMMENT ABOVE! I’m silly.. Thanks y’all!
[...] was amazing. Ever since I saw the Katy Perry for OPI collection’s Black Shatter polish that cracks, I’ve been wanting to try it out. [...]
I love the Black Shatter. I think the trick is to keep it thin.
omg i love it to i have the black and the silver sattered
I love the Katie Perry nail polish by Opi but here in Miami, Fl..I’m having a hard time finding them can you suggest a location or email to by online.
Thank you
I found the entire Katy Perry Collection and Black Shatter at Beauty First.
hey i was just wondering i live in Australia, Melbourne, Can you buy them in Australia?, if so where?
cuz i love Katy Perry and i wanna buy the nail collection xx
I myself live in Melbourne,Australia and I have seen it in some places. Try the Carribean Market as they have $5 and $6 authentic OPI Nail polishs in some stalls. I haven’t looked in other markets but you could also try Camberwell Market or Victoria Market. Try chemists and beauty stores aswell.David Jones have OPI (but it would be quite expensive there)so you could also try looking there.
I forgot to say: That yes you can buy the Katy Perry and shattered nail polishes in Austalia.
i have a question.
where can you buy the shattered?
i have went to many different places and none of tem have them.
please help.
i love sattered i have silver and black it works amazing thanks katy perry
I went to Two places. Nowhere to be found. I had to order on Amazon.
To whom it may concern,
I LOVE OPI KATTY NAIL POLISH AND ALL OPI NAIL POLISH’S !!!!
I live in mexico, Where I can get the collection?
Oh hey girls, go to Ulta. They have it.
Where can I buy these nail polishes of Katy Perry?
I bought my Katy Perry Shatter at JCPenney in the hair salon. They have every color, plus the Pirates of the Caribbean collection.
Does anyone else find that the Black Shatter gets really thick and clump, really fast??
I’ve heard that from several people. OPI said on their Facebook page that you can add a little thinner to it but use it sparingly, less than you would in a traditional polish.
i love the carkle it is just so cool but no prob i like the justin bieber one less lonely glitter i wnet to a jb consert and wore crakle and one less lonly glitter i think it is kind of werd that jb let people put his name on nail plish.
and i got to meet jb;)
Where can I buy this nail polish?
how much are these?
I tried Last friday night and i had to apply the colo(u)r Soooo many times before it became the bright blue colo(u)r it’s displayed as!
Ok so I have to say that I LOVE the black shatter. Looks way cute over bold bright colors & looks awesome with clear coat on top… BUT today I bought the red & the turquiose blue shatter & they totally suck (or they do for me so far). I’ve tried putting it on thinner, thicker, from side to side vs up & down like normal & I just cant make it look good. Any suggestions?? Thanks!! Ang in Evansville
How long did you wait for it to dry before applying the shatter? What does it look like when you apply it? Is it not shattering at all?
[...] the same marketing techniques that lipstick-focussed brands have used for years, such as using a celebrity [...]
From reading all ur comments i want the shatter so much, for those people in Canada. Where do i buy it????
Wow its amazing how the same question is repeated on all these comments. Maybe READING will help!!! Btw love the shatter effect!!!
