Color Club Fracture Collection

I recently received Color Club's Fracture collection in the mail! I have already shown you Tattered in Gold but it's nice to see the rest of the collection :D

This collection is Color Club's take on the whole shatter/crackle/fracture/texture trend. A nice colour selection available. Although it seems just about everyone has released a black, silver, white and a few have a gold. OPI has done a blue shatter similar to Splitting Image but this isn't a dupe. I also think Sally Hansen may have released a similar purple.

Before I tried them, I was lucky enough to have a few words from the Wise about how I should apply the Fractures. Apparently he (boyfriend) thinks I apply it too thick and it covers most of the colour underneath. He was disappointed when I painted my nails purple and applied the gold fracture on top only to have the gold dominate.

So I tried to apply them a little bit thinner here, I really like how they turned out. The white especially surprised me! I was a little bit iffy about it at first, but you know that old saying, "don't knock it 'till you try it".

I tried the Fracture polishes over a few shades before I tried them on myself. What I realised is that they don't fracture too well on the nail displays. But it's nice to get an idea what they'd look like over another shade.


Overall, I quite like this little collection. The formulas are nice, not too thick like my OPI Black Shatter tends to be. They fracture quite quickly and give a good coverage.

OPI & The Rugby World Cup

How cool is this?! OPI is putting a special set out just for the rugby world cup.


They are current colours, but I think it's nice that they did this. Still waiting on that New Zealand themed collection though... The rest of the world probably hasn't even heard of NZ though, so it probably wouldn't do too well in sales.


The colours: Black Shatter, Silver Shatter, Black Onyx and Birthday Babe.


I've supplied some swatches below and i'll add a few more once the pics are taken :)

Color Club Tattered in Gold

Tattered in Gold is a pale gold crackle. There is silver shimmer mixed in with the gold so it keeps from being too warm or too cool toned. This is my new favourite crackle. 

It dries matte which is a really nice finish with it being packed with foil glitter. I do have a top coat on however.

I'm wearing it over China Glaze Devotion here. The colours don't contrast too much with each other but they are a lethal pair! Each of them is seriously shiny and highly reflective. You don't want to stare at these two together for too long in the sun.

OPI Silver Shatter

Today we have OPI's Silver Shatter from their Pirate's Of The Caribbean collection. To be honest, I love it so much more than the black. Not too sure why, just do. I'm also really excited to try out their Navy shatter!

I don't think I've quite got the right application of it going on in these photos. When I wore it the other day over Blue Tiger, it was quite thick with minimal but large cracks. I quite liked it and it was quite a mission to remove, especially when  you've run out of cotton pads!

I will try to get some more posts up this week but just letting you know that this week and last week are my final weeks for the semester and i've got about 4325 things to do... 

Have a great day :)
