From left to right: Not Like The Movies, Teenage Dream, Last Friday Night, The One That Got Away
Something I noticed about the Shatter polish is that it would give different effects on different types of polishes. On the two glittery polishes in the middle, it gave a more fully shattered appearance, while on the shimmers it looked more like streaks. Over a creme polish the Shatter gives that same "streaky" effect.

The Precious Mini Polish set is $30 and available here
Around the same time I was wringing my hands over buying the Deborah Lippmann Layer Cake set, this Nars mini set was also available. For some reason, I kept putting off buying this set until about a month ago. I felt I had most of the colors already, when it turns out I actually didn't, including two polishes I thought were very close to Purple Rain. When applying the shatter, these streaked instead of shattered. I'm meh on most of them with the shatter, but I love the Shatter with the Jungle Red, it just looks so sexy to me.
Serena Williams for OPI Simply Smashing!
This is the Serena Williams Chartreuse/lime green/greenish-yellow polish that came in a set with the Shatter polish. I'm currently wearing the Simply Smashing! on my toes right now, and I really dig it. As you can see, this one streaked instead of shattered.
I also tried the Shatter on Chanel's Black Pearl, but you can't tell from the photos. It's pretty unremarkable.
In May, OPI is releasing additional colors of Shatter in silver, navy blue, red, and turquoise. Since I'm not really impressed with the black Shatter, I really don't plan on purchasing any more colors of it.
