Yesterday’s blue crackle manicure was a lot of fun for me to wear and I loved it! So I took it off and did another. (Yup, this only makes sense to those of us who are obsessed. Because a normal person would KEEP their manicure on if they loved it.) But, I digress…..
Two manicures in a row using the same blue polish? That’s right! Out of all my ‘special’ nail polishes, this previously-untried electric blue crackle is a surprise favorite. I love when a nail polish comes outta nowhere and knocks your socks off!
This time I started with a hot pink base color. This is hot pink is hotter than hot and I love it. It’s Zoya Ali. Then I added my crackle- Electric Blue Blasted from Sephora by OPI. Except for my 2 ring finger accent nails which I painted off-white using OPI My Vampire is Buff. Then I added a butterfly wing diy decal that I made. How did I make the decal? I used my MoYou Pro stamping plate and… ummmm… well, I’m sure I’ve explained it a bunch of times before! I really should just do a tutorial so I can just insert da link ! For now- here’s Indian Ocean Polish’s tutorial which is great!
Here’s a side by side comparison of yesterday’s and today’s blasted nails. One blue nail polish, two looks. It’s funny that the pics came out almost identical and I didn’t plan it. Which do you like better- the orange or pink mani? I’m not the biggest fan of how mix-match manis look on me sometimes… so I’m leaning towards the orange. But dang, that hot pink!!! What do you think?
oh crackling polish^^
i am honestly not a big fan of them, i used to own 2 or 3, but threw em all aways besides my black one…you never know when you will need it haha
but I wouldn’t buy a crackling polish again.
That design though looks really nice 🙂
I had one brand that I had to throw away because after not using it for a year, I opened it to find it was all thick and goopy 😦
that is the worst. I hate when that happens. especially with favorite polishes
YES YES YES YES
Voni-approved ! 😀
Love the hot pink under the crackle 🙂
thanks! who came up with such a brilliant idea? 😉
Hmmm… Must have been someone extremely intelligent, creative, and humble. 😉 lol
and don’t forget crafty! 😉
Well naturally!
I really really really like how the pink goes with the blue. Electrifying!
thanks! Electrifying is a good word- it’s so bright 🙂
They are both beautiful, but I really like the hi-contrast blue and orange manicure better personally. Besides, it has Spirit!
hehe thank you !
spirit fingers!
I would love a tutorial on how to make your decals. I’ve been meaning to try it but I’m more than a little scared. It just looks like it would bubble and sit funny on my nail…
These look great!
Looook- it’s Monica!!!!!! 🙂 Nice new smiley pic 🙂 I will def work on a tutorial …
Thanks! I’ve been playing around with connecting my Twitter and Google + account since so many bloggers seem to use all of these!
Looking forward to your tutorial!
My google+ account was starting to confuse me (and weird me out a little)… It kept trying to link everything together until I decided to just cancel my account altogether! did you get confused at all or is it just me?
It is kind of creepy how connected everything is on Google but I haven’t really delved deeper than 1+ing or sharing yet! We’ll see though, I may end up getting rid of it too…I’ve definitely done it with my FB!
Looks great!!
thank you Lisa 🙂
So hard to choose, I love the contrast on both of them but I think I like the bright pink and blue a bit more and the accent nail is cute too!
thanks! I’m liking the pink too I think
The orange and blue nail art looks fabulous
thank you darlin!
Both!
right on!
cute! I don’t know why everybody is always so down on Crackle. I think they’re awesome!
here, here!
or is it hear, hear? i shoulda googled the spelling first lol
You gave me a lot of inspiration for the crackle nailpolishes. I have quit some but never use them actually. But this is great.
Good! I wanna see your crackle nails!
I bet you do 😉
I can’t pick one, but if I had to it would be the blue and pink. Those 2 colors look really awesome together!!
Thanks gurl 😉
I love your crackle manis! 😀
thank you !
Oh wow, the shatter and decal combo is so striking, love it ❤
