Lovely Jessica from Born Pretty Store sent me a lot of new goodies to try out. Let's start with crackle polish I was most excited.
This is Kelier Crack Polish in Red. Color definetely isn't red but shimmery hot pink. I applied 2 coats of Cheers to you by China Glaze's last Holiday collection - silver foil polish. I waited just a few minutes so the second layer was half dry and then I applied 1 coat of crackle polish. You must apply it over not fully dry manicure or the crackle won't stay on your nail. When I got it I applied it over my dry manicure and I could wipe off the pieces of crackle.
I really don't like the brush - It's imprecise, plastic and nothing special, but you don't have to be careful while you're applying the crackle. I recommend you to clean the cuticle line quickly, because later it's really hard to remove crackle polish. I'm using a nail polish remover without aceton, but probably it would go faster with acetone.
This crackle doesn't start crackling quickly like OPI's, Barry M, etc. so you have to wait for few minutes or use a hair dryer like I was, so the process was even quicker.
I didn't apply any layer of TC, but if you want that your manicure last longer, you should. After long shower pieces of crackles fell off the nail, so don't forget to use a coat of TC to seal the crackle on the nail.
If you want wider crackles apply a thick coat and if you want more crackles apply thinner coat and then the magic happens.

I really like this kind of crackle effect, what do you think? Which one do you prefer more - this one or OPI's Black Shatter and similar? If it comes in pink, I really don't mind what kind of crackle it is.
You can buy this crackle here in 7 different colors (use a cuopon IVANA and get 10% discount), you can also enter my giveaway, where I'm offering 3 of them - this one, purple and blue one.
Tnx for watching,
Ivana

ReplyDeletemeni se ovaj više sviđa... i tko bi rekao da će mi se i pink sviđati :-)
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! My fave is the crackle on your ring finger.
ReplyDeletei really like the crack-ling effect of these polishes! so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love this combo!
ReplyDeletethis looks amazingly cool. i like the fact that this brand offers different colors whereas OPI only has the black.
ReplyDeleteMislim da je tebi još i bolje što je rozi, a ne crveni, jel da? :)
ReplyDeleteSviđa mi se Kelier!

ReplyDeletesvidja mi se :) iako vise volim ove tipa shatter, ali rozo pobjedjuje :)
ReplyDeleteAdmittedly, I didn't like this in black, but it looks lovely in this colour.
ReplyDelete@-Diana-: Thank you. :)
ReplyDelete@Lendoxia: Naravno. :P
@Ash-Lilly: I also don't like the black one, but that's just because I'm not used to black nails. :) But pink is really color for me. :)
This looks amazing over that base color! I don't usually like crackle manis, but I'm loving this one :)
