Trend: CRACKLE Nail




2011's HOTTEST TREND!!
Cracked Black and transparent by Oops! Jealous.
Jolin Tsai's personal nail polish brand.
((don't worry we have it in US too, just keep reading I'll tell you more about it.))


This Cracked Black nail polish had started a crazy trend of nail Art all over the world.
 From Taiwan , China and finally here in the States.
This new innovation of nail polish can create random shapes that would deal with the trouble of drawing leopard patterns.
Many of many nail companies are presenting the consumers more and more alternative of different cracks and colors of the nail polish.

 Not much info of where to find them, but SEPHORA and ULTA are two great sources.

 OPI
Katy Perry Collection
(OPI's website is from the link above, their website gave you a taste of designing your own nail Art.
Lots of fun!)

$8.50 a bottle.
The nearest beauty shop that I can find is the Ulta store in Pas.

3393 E. Foothill Blvd.
Pasadena, CA 91107




They have the most colors for crackles polishes.

To apply this kind of nail polish perfectly needs practice because it won't be the same crack every time.
The first time I tried was pretty bad because I didn't know that you can't brush it twice!
Usually when you apply you nail polish you can brush it so many times so it'd look smooth and pretty, but the Crack ones doesn't allow us to do that. Since the chemical reacted so fast that if you try to apply one more layer to it, it will be redundant and gave you a messed up layer.
SO! Try to perfect it the first time you apply.

HOWTO:
  1. Put on any coat of color, sparkle for the base.
  2. After 30(approx.) seconds, apply the crackle polish. Make it perfect the first time.
  3. Wait till it to crack!! (Fun to watch nail polish move on its own, HA.)
  4. MUST!!Apply a clear coat to prefect the shattered polish from falling off.
Voila! :D

Amusez-vous bien, tous le monde!! :)

Comment please, it means the world to me:)

XOXO, MEECHEER. <3
