Good morning ladies, I have crackle manicure for you today! I decided to name this manicure after the red crackle polish I used and it's name also inspired me to do some cherries. Of course I kept the cherries to my ring fingers because of work and this is how it turned out:
Here's how you can do this mani yourselves:
1. Start with a base coat and apply a coat or two of a nude pink polish. I used essie Vanity Fairest.
2. When dry, paint on a v-french tip with a black nail polish (see pic on right) and allow to dry fully before proceeding. Here I used essie Licorice.
3. Follow the same pattern of the tip and apply a red crackle polish over the black tips. I used Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in Cherry Smash.
4. To create the cherries, simply adhere two red rhinestones in a diagonal fashion on the ring fingers with some clear polish.
5. Use a green striper polish to create the stems and a small leaf. Finish off with a darker green for the main vein of the leaf.
6. Top coat and you're done!
Do you like this mani ladies? I quite like it, I just wish the red crackle turned out to be more bright but otherwise, I am very pleased with it :)
Speaking of crackle polish, my neighbour's daughter came over one day when I was wearing this manicure and she asked me to re-create the same look on her nails. Since her nails are teeny tiny and I don't like anything black on children, I paired China Glaze Crackleglaze in Broken Hearted with e.l.f.'s Teal Blue as a base colour. I then added two pink rhinestones on each of her thumbnails and this is the end result (excuse the messy nail walls):

ReplyDeleteDo you use guides for the tips? I really like the cherries but I am disappointed with the red crackle I have too.
