OPI Pirates of The Caribbean Week - Collection Overview

       Sparrow Me The Drama                           Planks A Lot

All the polishes in this collection applied like an absolute dream, I think OPI have definitely been tweaking their creme formula, and I hope they keep this standard, nearly all the polishes in this collection were fully opaque at 2 coats and with a perfect even high gloss finish. As much as I usually adore shimmery finishes, this collection really reminded me how awesome and sophisticated creme polishes can look. Simply Stunning! The Silver Shatter polish is a lovely highlight of this collection and it looks really lovely over all the shades, subtle like a glistening wave over the softer shades and vibrant over the darker shades making them shimmer like jewels.

Application Tips for Silver Shatter
I tried several different methods when applying the Silver Shatter Polish, on the first 3 shades I applied Seche Vite then Shatter after 5 mins, on the last two no Seche Vite after 5 mins of applying polish (these resulted in a much thicker shatter effect). The most successful application was the 4th shade Mermaid's Tears, where I applied Shatter a good 15 mins after Seche Vite, I liked this crackle effect the most.

I applied Silver Shatter relatively thickly in 3 non overlapping strokes.
