OPI Shatter Nail Polish

You probably have seen this or have personally bought one yourself. It is new out on the market and a silver shatter has just come out last week as well! Here are some tips that I have learned about OPI SHATTER.

If you apply a very thick layer of the Shatter, the space between the cracks are larger.

If you apply the Shatter in one thin layer without any polish overlapping each other, it will look more like this photo. 


You can even do a Shatter french tip! I have personally tried the french tip with the Shatter and got many, many compliments on it at the salon where I work! :)


HAPPY PAINTING!! :3
And feel free to post your own shatter pic experiences!
 
 
EDIT: It's 2026 now and OPI no longer makes the shatter nail polish but I did find another brand that makes it!

Digital Perm Vs. Wave Perm

Image
Even being a licensed hairstylist, I had no idea this digital perm concept even existed until finding it on Google and asking some other hairdressers about it. Apparently the digital perm makes it so that when you air dry your hair, your hair goes from slightly wavy to big and round. Exactly like if you were to curl your hair with a curling iron. Only most Asian salons will perform this service. They wrap your hair in some metal perm rods and then hook up this machine to the perm rods to heat them up while apply perm solution on the rods. A spiral perm or ordinary perm you can get at any salon is  like the photo on the right. It is wrapped with rods and then a perming solution is applied. You wait, and then rinse when it is done processing. This procedure causes your hair to have more frizz  and is more damaging than the digital perm.  But keep in mind that both perms are very damaging and not anyone can get one. If you have pre lightened hair (bleached/high...

Temporary, Semi, Demi, Permanent? What's the Difference?!

Image
I know a lot of people are confused on the subject of what is temporary? Semi-permanent? Didn't even know there was such thing as a demi-permanent? So, temporary dyes are, well, temporary. Temporary in the sense that they are one time use. Temporary dyes are anything from spray ins, such as the photo on the right, colored gels (the kind that comes out during Halloween season), and rinses. Apply the temporary coloring right over your own hair color (without bleaching or anything). When you wash your hair, the color comes out. Temporary cannot  lighten your hair. Semi-permanent Semi-permanent hair dyes are most likely the vibrants. Red, blues, orange, yellow, green, purple, teal, etc. Semi-permanents do not require a developer but they do require that your hair be bleached to show up vibrant. Take a white piece of paper and get a pink crayon, the color comes out pink. Take a black piece of paper and try to color it pink, and it doesn't show up. Same concept with your hair...

Review: Moroccan Oil

Image
What's all the hype about Moroccan Oil? Moroccan oil is basically a brand name form of argan oil. It is penetrating and your hair actually does benefit from it. It may be pricey, but it revives, strengthens, conditions, and reduces your blow dry time. It revives overprocessed, dry, brittle hair, and add shine and improves elasticity. Does not leave hair sticky or greasy (unless you use it wrong). You can get it on Amazon ! Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase through these links, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. I only recommend products I genuinely believe are helpful and relevant to my readers. They also have a LIGHT formula which is for blondes and very fine hair. To use Moroccan Oil, wash and condition your hair. Using a blow dryer, remove excess water from your hair until your hair is damp, but not dripping wet. Apply one pump of the oil into your hand and rub together. Apply it mid-shaft to ends and then blow dry...
