OPI Simply Smashing & Black Shatter

Hello from Hong Kong! 

After a pretty crappy start to my trip (long but awesome flight because I got upgraded to business class!! yay!!) I'm now here in my parent's apartment on Hong Kong island. I have a whole week here to relax and go shopping and I'm really looking forward to it!

Before I left home, I did swatches of a whole bunch of colours so that I still had stuff to post while I was away. Today I have OPI's Simply Smashing and Black Shatter to show you. I'm a little late to the party with this one, but I still wanted to show you guys anyway.

Simply Smashing is one of those ugly pretty colours in my opinion. I'm not really convinced I like it, but it is an unusual colour so it wins points on that account. It was a little sheer, but it built up with the second coat. However you could still see VNL. This colour definitely reminds me of a tennis ball!




Simply Smashing was released in a set with Black Shatter, the black crackle polish. I added a coat of this over Simply Smashing. I personally am not a fan of this duo.... I love Black Shatter, but I'm just not feeling it over the top of this colour.



It's just a quick post for today. I'm still trying to get used to the time zone and I want to get up early tomorrow to go out shopping (and hunting for nail polish!). Hopefully the nail polish fairies are on my side and I find some awesome stuff to show you while I'm here -  wish me luck!

  1. I like the unusual factor, but any yellows that lean green make me feel a little ill! Lovely swatches though

  3. Have fun in Hong Kong!! Shop till you drop! I've heard some cool stuff about their polish! :D And I'm not a fan of Simply Smashing at all, but I like the black crackle, of course. :)
