Answer
First, I want to mention that OPI did not "invent" crackle polishes. It first came out back in the 90s by Cover Girl. Yup. And even currently, other companies were selling crackle polish before OPI released theirs. OPI is just a more well known brand, so people just assume OPI came up with it.

I own all 3, but have not used the Sally Hansen ones yet. So between China Glaze and OPI, I find China Glaze cracks better. But I prefer more cracks, while OPI tends to have less, but larger cracks. And China Glaze has a wider selection and it's less expensive. When it comes to the crackles, I think there is NO way you can say one is "better quality" because it just depends on how you like it to crack. I will say, though, that OPI black shatter became thick and unworkable and needed to be thinned. China Glaze crackles have not had that happen yet and I've owned them for just about the same amount of time. Ultimately, I'm not really a fan of the crackle trend, though.

where can i get the opi shatter nail polish besides at salons?

i really want the opi shatter nail polish but i don't want to go to a salon or something to get it and i don't want to order it offline i would rather get it in person and i was wondering if places like target have it or cvs or walgreens have it... if you have any suggestions please say them... thanks!


Answer
You can buy it anywhere you can buy OPI polishes that regularly come out with the new collections (so even though Target sells OPI, you won't find the new collection there. And no, Sally's, Sephora, and MAC do NOT sell OPI). You can buy it at Ulta, JC Penney salons, Trade Secret, or possibly some salons near you. Recently, OPI sent out another batch of these polishes. My Ulta was totally stocked last time I was there. You can also go to OPIs website (www.OPI.com) and in the top right corner is a "Where to Buy" link.
If you cannot find it, China Glaze has a line of 6 different colors of crackle polish (black, teal, pink, grey, purple, white). You can buy them at Sally's, though they might be sold out as well because they had more colors than just black. You might be able to find these online, too.
There are also other brands besides OPI and China Glaze that have crackle polishes. You'll have better luck searching with the name Crackle as opposed to Shatter. Crackle polishes actually came out back in the 90s by CoverGirl. OPI just renamed it to "shatter".
Some other brands that sell crackles are LaRosa, IsaDora, and Barry M. Also know that OPI is releasing several more crackles in different colors in the coming months.
