OPI Sparrow Me the Drama with OPI Silver ShatterTwo Words: Silver Shatter.
Right from the start when we first saw the preview pictures for OPI Pirates of the Caribbean, I knew I would be obsessed with Silver Shatter. You know what I think I really love about it? It's kind of like glitter, super sparkly and eye-catching, but easier to remove. It's also a combination of glitter and my other favorite nail trend- crackle! You can put it over any polish and immediately be more excited about your manicure. I'll talk more about Silver Shatter in a minute.
OPI Sparrow Me the DramaSo, a little side note, I intended to post three of the Pirates colors today- Sparrow Me the Drama, Stranger Tides, and Mermaid's Tears. However, when I jumped out of bed this morning, eager to swatch these babies, I was really disappointed to see the cloudy, dark skies. I actually took pictures of Stranger Tides and Mermaid's Tears, but they really don't do the polishes justice, so I'm going to retake them on a nicer day (tomorrow, I hope). But Sparrow Me the Drama came out OK, so here it is!
OPI Sparrow Me the DramaSparrow Me the Drama is a pretty mauve-y pink creme. It definitely has a touch of purple somewhere in the mix and a bit of grey as well. It's a lovely dusty pink that is much nicer (to me) than a regular pale pink creme. This is three coats, but you could definitely wear two if you weren't photographing your mani.
OPI Sparrow Me the Drama(best color representation)I may decide to retake these pictures too, as they came out pretty dark. But I was really too excited to not post anything today! Sparrow Me the Drama applied very smoothly and evenly. The OPI Pro-Wide Brush seemed a little stiffer than usual, but that might be my imagination, and it definitely wasn't a negative thing. I actually liked the way the brush applied this.

OPI Sparrow Me the Drama with OPI Silver ShatterSo here's where the magic happens. I applied one coat of Silver Shatter over Sparrow Me the Drama and fell in LOVEEEEE. I just love the way this looks!!!! I tried Silver Shatter on Stranger Tides and Mermaid's Tears also and the same thing happened. I liked the base color before applying SS, but LOVVVVEEE it after!!! I can't WAIT to wear one of these with Silver Shatter as a full mani!! As soon as I finish swatching tomorrow, I am SO doing it. I might even wear a couple of the Pirates polishes as a skittles mani, the colors look amazing together.
OPI Sparrow Me the Drama with OPI Silver ShatterSilver Shatter shattered very nicely. If you apply a thick coat it will break into large chunks, showing you more of the base color (I like this look, myself). If you apply a thin coat, you get less base color, more silver. I put a glossy top coat over this, but it looks gorgeous with no top coat also. I bet it would look amazing with a matte top coat!! Ahhhhhhh, I have so many looks to try with this collection!!!
Hopefully, tomorrow will be a nice day and I can finish swatching the Pirates collection!!! Fingers crossed.
OPI Pirates of the Caribbean is available at an Ulta store near you.
These polishes were sent to me for review by a PR agent for OPI. For more info, please read my Disclosure Policy.
