I was hoping to get pictures of a few more manis with this crackle polish before making a post about it, but I'm still lamenting the loss of my nail on my swatching hand and refuse to take pictures of it.
I had heard that the Sally Hansen crackle polishes didn't "crack" as well as other brands, but I was actually impressed with it. I have the black OPI crackle and the formula is disgusting- it's like tar. I still wasn't sold on the whole crackle thing even after I bought the black one, but the silver has finally pulled me in.
When I bought the crackle polish I was wearing
Orly Luxe, a pale cool gold. I was worried that there wouldn't be enough contrast for the crackle to show up, but I had to use it anyway.

Next time I will use a darker gold, but I still think the effect is pretty cool.

For this mani I used two different blue cremes from Models Own. The darker blue is called Betty Blue and the lighter one is called Top Turquoise.I think I messed up with my index finger because i don't think the polish was dry enough when I painted the crackle over it.

Thank you for reading and have a great day/night/whatever!
:O I love it with the gold! Awesome sauce!
ReplyDeleteOooh it looks so cool with the gold! I love how big the chunks of crackle are too!
ReplyDeleteOrly's Luxe looks a lot like Chanel's Kaleidoscope (which I'm wearing).
ReplyDeleteSweet! I love the silver/gold combo. I just picked up Silver SHatter this weekend and can't wait to try it. No wonder my nails try to revolt on me, I change my nail polish (or peel it ;-) every other day!
ReplyDelete@Robyn- Thanks man! I'm going to try a darker gold next time.
ReplyDelete@Lillian- Yeah, I actually thought this one crackled pretty well. I think I prefer the shimmery/metallic crackle polishes versus the creme ones.
@Vijaya- I actually don't have any Chanel polishes! I just can never justify the price.
@Maribeth- I think that is what happened to my nails. All of a sudden they are dry, peely, and chip easily. I was swatching a lot of nail polishes one after another and I think it wreaked havoc on my nails.
