Models Own “Smash-Up” Crackle polish, coming soon. 

LOOK at that pink and orange! These have to be the brightest shatter polishes I’ve seen so far.

I found me some crackle polish! This was the only colour the store had left. :P It’s a Japanese brand called CANMAKE.

 Another crackle I like - and I don’t like ‘em all. It’s a little more subtle.

shannie-bee:

Just another Shatter manicure.

Base: Jordana- Boy Oh Boy (it’s much more turquoise than this shows)

Black Shatter

2 coats of Seche Vite 

 I don’t like every single shatter manicure I see but this one is nice!

Blaxidermy - Nail Art- Khem & Khenet

In Egyptian mythology, Black (Khem) represents night, death, resurrection, life, and fertility. Yellow & Gold (Khenet) represent the sun: eternal, divine, and imperishable. So, you get the uplifting & timely metaphor I’m working with on this black and gold crackle nail design…

Polish: Gold base is SUSU Nail Art Colors in No. 13, Black crackle is PROSPER Son Nut Nghe thuat — both purchased at Nghia in Ho Chi Minh City

Thanks to @KimberlyThinks for the BHM Nail Art challenge!

 This is GORGEOUS. I’ve never seen a crackle quite like that! And I love the meaning behind the colors.

China Glaze grey crackle polish! Available later this month.
