NOTD: Color Club in Kiss and Break Up

 

Kiss & Break Up is from Color Club, its part of the crackle/shatter craze. The color kinda popped out at me, so I thought why not. It's a purple with hints of red tones. It's a little sheer, so be careful picking a color for underneath. Color Club's crackling nail polish seems to have the best pattern to me.

NOTD: China Glaze - Crushed Candy Crackle

 

This doesn't even deserve the name Crackle. Do you see much crackle? I don't. It came on really thick, and where it should have split and crackled it became a little sheer. The color is very creamy and lovely. But alas...FAIL.

NOTD: China Glaze's Crackle in Broken Hearted

 

My name is Rachael and I love crack...I mean crackle! haha. I sucumbed to China Glaze's Crackle in colors. I was pretty set on the black. It's perfect so why change it?

While it didn't photograph too well even in the light I was happy with the look of the pink Crackle. The downfall of Crackle is the brush tend to get clumpy. It makes sense due to the fast drying and splitting agents.

Epic Fail: NOTD - China Glaze's Tempest

I think the reason I bought this was because it looked like my favorite Urban Decay purple eye shadow, Ransom. I thought, 'can't go wrong.' Psh! You so can. I used 3 coats and it still came out streaking and pretty translucent. After it tried and I added a top coat, it started peeling. I applied the Crackle polish on my right hand and it got chunky for some reason. Not my nail day. :( This is a big ole pass, people!

NOTD: OPI's DS Radiance

 

I picked up another bottle in the discontinued line: Designer Shades. I was planning for it to be a one time thing (not really in the habit of paying $6 a bottle when I can grab OPI cheaper). But I saw this silver and fell in love instantly! OPI's DS Radiance is a shimmering metallic foil. I used 2 coats and it dried fast.I also tried it with China Glaze's Crackle and loved it even more. YIPPEE!
