Combining Neon, Purple & Glitter

Last week's Monday Nail Art Challenge on PAA was Crackle. This polish effect has definitely grown on me. When crackle first hit the polish world, I disliked the look. It wasn't until I received a free black crackle that I fell in love with the uniqueness of it.

I used Milani Fresh Teal as a base coat. Fresh Teal is a lovely neon one coat polish. Next I layered on Finger Paints Purple Crackle. It cracked nicely, as you can see. I'm a big fan of accent nails, so I just had to add some glitter to my index finger. I chose Essence Edward. I love Edward so much. Such a pretty glitter.

What do you think of crackle polishes?

Color Club Holiday Splendor & Finger Paints Red Crackle

Its almost Christmas! I will have a cute Christmas nail art mani to show you all tomorrow. :) For today, I have a simple red and green combination.

This is not my first attempt at layering a red crackle over Color Club Holiday Splendor. However, the last one was a bit of a failure. I think this one went somewhat better. I painted all of my nails with one coat of Holiday Splendor. I love how opaque and easy to apply this polish is! Then I layered Finger Paints Red Crackle over the index finger and thumb on my left hand and my pointer and pinky on my right hand. I wish it had showed up more red, but it does look so much better than the last crackle. I already want to layer it over pink for Valentine's Day. Also, it cracks really well. Love it!
