OPI Katy Perry

So I know I'm a bit late on the bandwagon, but I had to wait 3+ weeks for Teenage Dream and Last Friday Night (they were worth the wait). The One That Got Away didn't interest me at all, so I passed on it, which I now regret, but oh well...  I got The One That Got Away! Will have pictures and a review up soon :)

 Last Friday Night

Last Friday Night is packed with round/hexagonal (I honestly can't tell which it is) and particle glitter in a very sheer blue base. This is very pretty on it's own and layered over other blues, but strangely it dries to a satin finish, so a top coat is necessary unless you want it to look dull. Bottle color, while beautiful, is deceiving, and I don't even want to think about how many coats it would take to achieve it. This is 4 coats.

Left to right: 4 coats, 3 coats, 2 coats, 1 coat

Teenage Dream

Teenage Dream is a sheer pink jelly with iridescent hexagonal and particle glitter (tons of it!) This one is like a pink disco ball in a bottle! Love it! It is a bit thicker than I expected, so it will most likely need thinner down the road. And it's also a lot more opaque than LFN, this is 2 coats but even with just 1, it's pretty impressive (see below)

Index and middle: 2 coats 

Ring and pinky: 1 coat

Not Like The Movies

NLTM is a sheer green and purple/grey duochrome with silver shimmer. This is very pretty, and applies really well, but for some reason shows slight brushstrokes light a frost finish. Regardless, I love duochromes and this is no exception! I also happen to love the song. You can get away with 2 coats on this one, but I went with 3 because I spied some VNL.

DUOCHROME GOODNESS! :D

Black Shatter

The Katy Perry collection was released with this little gem, the Black Shatter. You apply one coat of this like normal to completely dried polish and it shrinks and separates as it dries (which is wicked cool to watch!) to reveal little cracks. For thicker cracks, use a thick coat, and for smaller cracks, use a thinner coat (see below, LFN has a very thin coat of it, while NLTM is quite thick). It dries matte, and while you can wear it without a top coat, the texture might annoy you. I prefer the shiny black "patent" look and smooth finish :)

Overall, I love these! I don't have a favorite, because I like them all for different reasons, but I will say that as far as shatter over these: LFN wins :)

These are limited edition, so run, don't walk, to your local Ulta/salon/etailer and get your hands on them!
