NOTD: China Glaze Midnight Kiss + Black Crack Polish

I thought having a gold base for a crack manicure would be nice, so I started out with 2 coats of China Glaze Midnight Kiss:
 
 
Then I topped with the Black Crack Polish ... I like the effect although I still need to work on uniform application to get uniform cracks ... I actually liked how my right hand turned out better, but I realized while editing that apparently I had a spazz moment & didn't take any pics of my right LOL:
 
 
Only downside was the crack polish did not wear that great, and yet was not easy to get off - you can see the tipwear in the sun & shade pics, but I had to use 100% acetone to take it off because regular remover just wasn't cutting it at all.
 
Going off for part 2 of cookie day today =)  I think I'm going to do a cookie-marbling tut, so stay tuned for that!  Thanks for reading.

  3. LOL I don't think crackle polish is supposed to have a uniform effect. You must be such an perfectionista!

  4. This post is funny...after doing my nails via one of your vids (they came out GREAT btw!) I remembered covergirl did the crackled nail polish when I was in high school. It was cool but of course that was years ago and I'd never seen it again. So thanks for this so now I know I get still get the kelier one!
