I got a catalog from ULTA in the mail last night and about died when I saw Katy Perry’s nailpolish collection for OPI. The colors are all beautiful and the coolest part is a black polish that “shatters” when you put it on over colored polish, giving it a leopard print look.

Here’s a pic from Joey’s Space showing the effect of the shatter polish. Click on the photo for a larger view.

Here’s a video from OPI’s Facebook page showing the colors and the shatter effect. Check it out!

Looks like the colors are on sale now, and are $8.50 a bottle. I'm going to go buy the shatter color today and will report back with how it worked for me! Viva la Katy!

UPDATE:  So, I bought the shatter polish at Ulta yesterday and tried it after work. Here is the result

So it looks kinda cool, but certainly not what the ads lead me to think. I’m going to try again soon because I think the way you apply the shatter polish determines on how it turns out!

from the Milwaukee American Idol Tryouts..

Chris Medina is ‘THE MAN’.. Get the tissues ready..

More report breakdown

My fingernails are always short because I have the horrible habit of biting my fingernails. Gross. I love the dark purple/red nail polish colors…but with short nails they look ridiculous. I am loving this color from Essie right now called – Au Natural. It adds a little color to my nails and blends in with my hands…I think it helps make my nails look longer.
