Crack-a-Laqin'

Hehehe get it? Ok giggling done.

Onto my delayed posts. These nails, I did 2 nights ago. Last night I tried a flame style which turned out just awful, so I refuse to post pictures of that manicure. So here is 2 nights ago crackle manicure.

It had been a long time since Id done a crackle or a vampire red so I mixed them!

OPI Silver Shatter

And the base color, OPI Midnight In Moscow before the crackle

 Almost makes me wanna add CH Fairy Dust and pretend its Edward, phew....is it hot in here??

Day 5 - Blue Nails

Time for a simpler manicure as I'm a tad pooped from 2 hour mani's for the past 4 days.

Today we have a glitter base with crackle tip.

I'm a tad bummed about my crackle polish here as it was super clumpy inside the bottle and I've only used it once. So in an attempt to remove clumps on my nails, i ended up covering come cracks already made.

Still turned out cute!

*2 coats Nubar night sparkle

*1 strip OPI silver shatter

This blue reminds me of hot rod paint jobs. It has that perfect sparkle. A top coat or 2 is a MUST with it as it looks kinda silly without one (see pics below).

 Base, no flash, no top coat

I'm Cracking Up Here!

Well the Gussied Up Green didnt last at all. It chipped the next day :-(

So, after horrible chipped nails at my Scentsy events, Im home now with fresh nails.

Tonight I felt like a crackle. So I thought I picked black crackle but after pics, I see I picked blue!

My bipolar nails! I of course, had to try my holo top coat :-p

These nails are 2x coats of Borghese Raspberry Sorbetto. 1 thin coat of BK (I think thats the name of these?) blue (meant to choose black) cracking polish, 1 coat China Glaze Wireless Holographic Top coat and regular fast dry tc.

I still find the crackles to be a pain. I took the pictures before I cleaned up my lines as well. I'm ready to try and orange base and the black crackle. It will go perfect for Halloween!
