![]() ![]() Marilyn is a makeup maniac and slow but stubborn runner. What do you think, ladies: are you loving the Crackle lacquers from China Glaze? And is the shatter polish trend all that it’s cracked up to be? Might be a little too edgy for the office.May take a little longer than a regular manicure. ![]() Other shades in the Crackle Glaze line include Lightning Bolt (white creme), Black Mesh (black creme), Crushed Candy (teal creme) and Fault Line (purple shimmer). I’m dying to go to the store and buy the other four shades of Crackle Glaze, along with some bright colors to use underneath! I played around with Cracked Concrete, a gray creme crackle (at left) which has so many possibilities! I tried out Cracked Concrete with blue and magenta glitter (not enough contrast), as well as with a blackened plum base coat (very dramatic). On the other hand, thinner coats of the polish creates numerous small cracks. I’ve discovered through experimenting that thicker coats of Crackle Glaze will result in bigger cracks, but fewer of them in number. I can hardly wait to try new color combinations! My favorite so far? Brokenhearted with a silver glitter base coat as seen above.Īpplying the Crackle polish is just like any other nail lacquer. Even though my nails take a beating, my manicure lasted an entire week, with only a slight bit of tip wear and chipping at the end. After 3-5 minutes of waiting for the Crackle Glaze to finish doing its magic, I followed the directions to apply a topcoat. I immediately started applying Brokenhearted, a hot pink creme over a completely dry base coat of black polish. Stef and Tyna must have been reading my mind, because they sent me two Crackle shades from China Glaze to review! Currently, the brand has two crackin’ good lines – Crackle Metals (six metallic hues for Summer 2011) and the original Crackle line (six colorful, shattering shades) all for about $8 per bottle. I had been wanting to buy some crackle polish for weeks, but was disappointed because I couldn’t find any in stock. Plus, changing your shade of polish is one of the least expensive and easiest ways to change up your look! Right now, one of the hottest trends is crackle/shatter nail polish, and though there are several brands of crackles, China Glaze’s newish Crackle Glaze line, gets my vote for being the best. It’s just plain old good for a gal’s soul to treat herself to a manicure, a glass of wine and her favorite TV show, every week or so.
