Rainbow Shatter



What I used:
OPI Black Shatter
OPI Feelin' Hot-Hot-Hot (Pink)
OPI Do You Lilac It? (Purple)
China Glaze White on White (White)
China Glaze For Audrey (Blue)
China Glaze Tree Hugger (Green)
Illamasqua Wayward (Yellow)
Makeup Sponge Chunks
Palette


1. Always use a base coat.
2. Start off with one coat of white. It doesn't need to be solid, just one layer is ok so the other color will show better. Let it dry.

**You can use any colors you want, but it is best to stick to lighter colors. I used pink, purple, blue, green & yellow.

3. Put a couple of drops of your first color onto the palette.
4. Using the makeup chunk, dab it in the color then stipple it onto a small portion of your nail. Let it dry, this is important because if it isn't dry it will blend with the other colors.

**It is a lot easier if you make you sponge chunks smaller and longer and with a semi-pointed edge.

5. Repeat 3 & 4 with the remainder of your colors in a new area of the nail, sometimes overlapping the previous color(s). You can choose to leave a white portion or you can cover it completely.
6. Once you've finished with the colors and it has dried use your one coat of your shatter polish. You can use any color shatter including gold and silver but I think that the black offers the best contrast.

**Hint: a thick layer of shatter will give you bigger chunks while a thin layer will give you thinner and finer lines. Be quick though the shatter gets chunky when exposed for too long.

7. Finish with a top coat.
