Welcome to China Glaze Crackled collection, I’m probably the last blogger to make a post about this collection so please forgive my slowness 🙁
I didn’t think I would really enjoy this collection. Everyone and their cat has been talking about it, frankly I felt like it would be over hyped.
But surprisingly once I did manage to get my hands on these, I found myself falling in love with them. I dunno, maybe it’s because the crackle comes in an array of colours, but I can see this being a great party polish to wear 🙂 And if I still went clubbing, great for hitting the clubs with!
Each polish comes with these little tabs that explain how to apply them. First apply your base coat, then 1-2 coats of your base colour. Once completely dry, apply one coat of the crackle polish and watch it take effect. (This is actually the best part!) Then apply a top coat to finish.
Black Mesh
Standard black, if you haven’t already head over to read about my comparison with this, OPI and BYS. I love how it looks like it has almost raised my base colour with it! Very cool 🙂
Broken Hearted
Hot pink, great fun colour to work with~ Reminds me of those cute girls dressed mainly in pink, but are actually rockers / punk musicians? Kinda like Emilie Autumn (love that girl!).
Cracked Concrete
Charcoal grey polish, probably didn’t pick the best base colour for this, but at least it does stand out.
Crushed Candy
A teal crème, an interesting colour to work with, probably my least favourite from the collection, however it was a very good addition to the family.
Fault Line
A metallic purple, I think this may in fact be the only metallic polish from this collection, the rest all seem to be crèmes.
Lightning Bolt
Matte white, the icing on the cake~ I don’t think this collection could be considered balanced without this colour 🙂
Overall, love this collection! Won’t be wearing it everyday, but certainly will be fun to wear for outings 🙂
So tell me, what’s your favourite bottle from this collection?
Can’t wait to try these! Love the purple – my fav colour!
Yay! They are gorgeous, I want to wear them more often 🙂
Fault Line and Crushed Candy are gorgeous! Much more wearable than my Black Shatter from OPI
I agree, I wish I had more occasions to wear them at!
I haven’t tried these yet but I will try them. I have one from Avon that I received for Christmas. I also bought several LA Colors nail art pens in all the colors the store had them in. Wow! I sure hope that this brand will stay on longer than the Avon does! When I did my nails the VERY NEXT MORNING my whole manicure was raising up from the nail! It looked horrible and I ended up having to take it all off! All the nail polish was peeling off and falling off in huge chunky pieces! It was horrible!
Good luck! Sorry to hear about the Avon polishes 🙁 Thanks for the heads up!
