OPI “Pink Shatter” (Pink of Hearts 2011) is a bright pink shatter decorative topper with a frost finish. As mush as I love to support a good cause, this polish left me underwhelmed.

Plus I didn’t mind because I was able to spend time with her new baby girl *happy dance*. It took her 30 minutes to decide on a color…I guess too many options can do that. She went with Deborah Lippmann “Between Read More ...
This was almost one of my favorite combinations and it has a lot of potential but it missed the mark…and I guess I’m partially the blame. Had I did 3 coats of OPI “It’s Totally Fort Worth It” it would have been perfect. After a couple days it started to bother me because I could see nail tip…it just threw it all off.
