Nails of the day: Hooked On Crackle

 I love crackle nail polish but I feel like I should use it more. So I was having such a nail block I just couldn't decide what nail design to do. Originally I planned to do Muppet inspired nails because at the last minute I was invited to see the movie but sadly I ended up not going. So then I thought of doing the next twilight inspired nail art but I just wasn't in the mood to do it. So I decided to play around with my new crackle polishes. I've been really curious to see what crackle polishes on top of each other look like, And I have to say I love it! I pretty much just threw them all together on my nail and topped it off with my new glitter nail polish because glitter always looks great on nails.

Nails of the day: Breaking Dawn Esme Island Nails

I've never done beach nail art but I have to say I really love it now and hopefully I'll do more in the future. I went and saw breaking dawn part 1 last night. It was so good much better than the book! I planned on seeing it thanksgiving weekend but plans usually never go as planned. I originally planned to do a few breaking dawn nail art designs but there was a specific one I wanted to wear when I saw them movie. I'll still be doing more twilight nail art. :)

Nail Art Challenge : Pattern

I remember my first attempt at camouflage nail art, let's just say it didn't end pretty well actually it did end at all I got half way done decided it looked like a giant blob and gave up on the design. But I thought I would try it again and I have to say I love it! The pink and blue look so cute together this is one design I will have to do again sometime.

Nail Art Challenge : Rainbow

Hey everyone! Today's challenge was RAINBOW NAILS! I have to say these nails definitely brightened up my day. I was sad when I finally had to take them off but the challenge must go on!

Nail Art Challenge : Song

 This was a hard challenge I mean having to choose just one song didn't work for me so I chose two. Lately I've been obsessed with Professor Green songs so I choose "Kids That Love To Dance" and "Read All About It". I love how the name turned out with the smoke behind it so I kept it and changed my other nails for both manicures.

Crackle Polish Haul/Review

The other day while I was out I decided to treat myself to some new nail polishes. I stopped by Walgreens and was amazed when I saw these crackle polishes by the brand Cherimoya. I'd never heard of this brand before but I've been looking for cheaper crackle polishes and they just happened to be on sale so I couldn't pass them up.

                       Most brands have crackle polishes now, but this brand has
                      the largest variety of colors I've seen for crackle polishes
                      Including neon which I was very excited to try.


                                       The formula of these varies for each color.
                                       Some are thin while others are really thick.
                                BEWARE, These polishes do have a very strong odor.
                       

I only bought 2 of the polishes a gray and white to try out then went back for the colored ones. When I swatched these they didn't crackle at all I tried several times before I finally got a little bit of crackle effect. I will say I noticed whenever I swatched Mercy Me that it flaked a lot when it dried.


But these polishes on nails look great crackle very fast and have a matte finish.

TIPS


Make sure you shake these very well before you use them


To get a perfect amount on your nail instead of using the sides of your brush use the bottom and stipple it on your nail. Like Robin Moses always says dot dot dot.
