I know that "crackle" nail polishes have been done to death
and like most I was never a huge fan of the movement, it's too messy for my liking.
I guess the general idea is lazy nail art?
So how do we feel about the newest additions - glitter versions?
MUA have launched a line of glitter crackle type top coats - six shades in total.
That do crackle but for some reason the glitter gives the crackle a much more subtle effect.
Glitter subtle? I know what a complete oxymoron but the results speak for themselves.
The quake polish dries quick and to a matte like finish,
I found it to be great for covering up minor tip wear of a few day old polish
but I recommend a coat of topcoat or the quake polish will be all but gone after a few hours of wear.
I applied shade Green over O.P.I Russian Navy which gives a Poison Ivy
or Wicked Witch sort of effect, all I can see is the musical Wicked when I look at my hands haha!
So what do you you think about glitter crackle top coats?

I used to love the crackle effect polishes but I think it became dated very quickly. These look like very pretty glitters though :)

I have to agree it was over before it began for me but like you said the glitters actually work well :)
DeleteI think it is a good way of updating crackle polishes. I like wearing the same colour underneath for a subtle look or wearing a few layers for a packed glitter look. Think I still need to play with mine to get a few looks out of them.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree :) oh good idea you can also apply them on to a clean nail and it wont crackle :)
DeleteI like it. The glitter crakles look more subtle than the creamy ones.
ReplyDeleteI agree it's much prettier :)
DeleteCrackle polishes don't really appeal to me, this one looks really nice though as although it's glittery the actual crackle effect is quite subtle x
ReplyDeleteI completely agree though I do like the fact that polishes are becoming a little more innovative :)
DeleteI've gone off the crackle polish trend but it's nice to see a new take on crackle polishes - I really like how this looks over the dark green :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much :) and yes I think the crackle polish phases is over!
Deleteit really does remind me of Wicked haha!
ReplyDeletehaha I'm glad i'm not the only one who can see that haha :)
Deleteyou've got to commend their innovation but I'm not sold on this although you've got an awesome combination going on here.

Your comment completely sums up how I feel about crackle polishes :)
Deleteaww thank you!
Didn't realize they made crackle glitter, but I love the colour of this one!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a hard time seeing the crackle. But I love this combo!
ReplyDeleteI can't really see the cracks...I just see glitter. BUt I like the effect of glitter over dark polish. And I just remembered that I have a Green glitter polish and I never used it...
