Shattered Nails

A week ago, I walked into Ulta, hoping that they had OPI’s new Katy Perry line… NO ONE in the Portland/Vancouver area had it, and I heard that Ulta was going to get their shipments before anywhere else.

I decided to head over to Ulta on my lunch hour… I shot straight to the “special” polish display where they keep all the limited edition colors – no Katy Perry! Gah! I MUST have that new polish! I looked at the regular section where they keep the standard colors… nothing. I quickly walked toward the front of the store to find an employee…. there it was – the special display next to the door that I walked RIGHT past.

Quick scan…. ooooo shiny glitter! noooo FOCUS! find what you came for…. scan, scan…. YESSSS! There it was…. Black Shatter – THAT is what I came here for! I got lucky, this is their last bottle! …head straight for the counter… check out….. NOOOOO I have to go back to work!

Work work work….. slow clock EEEESH hurry up! Tick tick tick goes the clock…. slooooooooowly the afternoon drags on…. one more hour left…. now half an hour…. OOOO fifteen minutes and then YESSSS! time to go home!

Drive home…. come on traffic! Walk in the door, change clothes…… put on two coats of shiny polish….. huuuuurrry up and dry! AH! Now it’s dry and time for the BLACK SHATTER! I eagerly applied to the first nail…. hmmmm, it covers all the way and it’s drying… when does it shatter? Oh wait…. THERE IT GOES! OOOOOOOOOO! That was fun to watch and it looks awesome! (should have taken a video – maybe next time!)

I brushed it on from base to tip… next time, I might try applying it on in a wave, or maybe diagonally or horizontally and see what it does!
