Shatter on hot pink: Zoya Tobey and OPI Black Shatter

I'm probably the last person ever to post nail swatches of a shatter/crackle nail polish... and I must admit these photos have been sitting on my hard drive for a lot longer than I had intended. Anyway, I really really love the way this combo looks- surprisingly enough I've found the black shatter a difficult colour to pair other nail polishes with. My instinct says to pair it with a soft colour, but the black ends up overwhelming any nude/neutral base.

So... hot pink it was!

I'm interested to try other shatter colours, but am a bit wary. Any suggestions of shatter polishes that work with a softer base colour are welcome! I've also tried China Glaze crackle in purple, but to be honest, I'm very disappointed with it. It's pretty much... crap.

I also broke my nail polish no-buy. I am a weak, weak woman.
