Crackle attempt #2... failed !

Hey there !

What's up ? So yesterday evening S. came to my house. We had such a great time together. We packed all the stuffs for my first swap with Lauren and then we finally painted our nails. Here's the result of that mani evening:

This is two coats of China Glaze - Something Sweet from the Up and Away Collection (one of my favorite collection ever I have to say) with OPI - Black Shatter.

Do you like it ? I don't ! I managed to work with the crackle much better the first time around. See the post here (I was right, THAT was beginner's luck !). This time I ended up with different paterns on each nail which I don't appreciate at all. I should have let the polish dry a little bit more before layering it with BS. And I should have been more careful with the tickness of the coats... Too bad !

Be sure, there's gonna be a new mani very soon ! ;)

Have a great (evening) day you all !
Come back soon
xoxo

  3. Well, I am not too fond of crackle polishes in general so... I can't say I like it.

  5. Oh I wouldn't call this a complete fail! I like the irregular cracks - it's like leopard print!

  7. @intootje: How was your trip to Germany ? Did you find new polishes ? ;)

    @Beauty shades : It's weird how they get thick after very few application. Maybe some thinner will help ?!

    @GothamPolish: I had the impression to have leopard, girafle, turtle, etc prints on my nails ! Lol Like to whole jungle...

    @Annelise: I don't know, I prefer the crackle when the pattern is the same on each tip I guess. Glad u like though !

  8. I was looking for a couple of things for a swap and I bought a couple of Essence polishes too. My local shop is always out of the shades I want. For the rest, got some goodied for my doggies from Freshsnapf and some food stuff :) I didn't find a shop with Catrice though, that was a bit disappointing. I have locally too but sometimes the best shades are sold out.

  9. I bought my first crackles this month in Berlin -p2- and yes, it takes a while to get the hang of it.
    By the way, me and my sister also have a blog, LOL!
