More 2012 Crackles & Kleancolor Crackles

I have quite a haul, and a lot of them are crackles =)  I went to a new to me beauty supply store & found a whole bunch on nice & cheap polish, so I indulged.  A few of the 2012s are from Walgreens, colors that Family Beauty Supply (Broadway & Fremont for my local readers) didn't have, but they were only $2 at the beauty supply compared to $5 at Walgreens, so I got what I could for cheap.

 

Here's the haul vid - my longest video so far I think, almost a half an hour somehow LOL:

 

 

Here are all my new 2012 colors:

 

 

Top:  You & I, Acid Rain,Mercy Me, Helios, Afterlife, Evolution.  Bottom:  Extraterrestrial, Tomorrow, Jesus Christ Superstar, Sea of Galilee, Typhoon, Prayer.

 

Here are the Kleancolor Crack Polishes:

 

 

Blue Crackle & Green Crackle.

 

Here are the NK polishes:

 

 

Left to right:  Green Apple, Turquoise, Charcoal Navy, After Dark, Metallic Noir.

 

Here are the Ruby Kisses polishes:

 

Top:  Black Eutopia, Golden Red, Twinkling Mauve, Tropical Green.  Bottom:  Blue Pearl, Baby Blue, All Purpled Out.

 

And here are some closer-up pics on the nail wheel swatches - the Kleancolor is a very unique crackle (similar to Kelier if you're a fan of that now HTF brand) if you're patient enough to let it dry, so I also swatched them over white so the pattern was really visible:

 

And then the 2012s - some of the neons did kind of a weird thing with top coat added ... they look almost ... I don't know, diseased LOL, the orange over black in particular:

 

Have you picked up any of this 2012 brand?  Which colors did you get & what do you think of them?

 

Thanks for reading =)

NOTD: Savina Money Tree + 2012 Crucify

I used this combination for one of my swatches, and I liked it so well that I decided to do a full mani.  Base color is Savina Money Tree & I neglected to take any pictures before I added crackle on top - 2012 Crucify:

 

Top coat makes a huge difference - the 2012 crackle dries pretty matte:

 

 

While I do like the combination, I actually didn't like it as well as I thought I would so I only wore it one day LOL.  Thanks for reading =)

Hauls, Gifts & More Crackle Swatches

Small hauls, but quite a bit of polish when all taken together.  Some hauls I bought myself, some gift hauls from friends & family =)

 

First I have a couple from Walgreens that I got when I picked up my prescription:

 

 

I'd never heard of the brand on the left, 2012 Max Makeup Cherimoya - have any of you?  This green crackle is called Crucify, and the Revlon is Royal Cloak from a special display that I forget the name of.

 

Stopped at Sallys to use my 15% off coupon, picked up some top coat & supplies & also these 2 Finger Paints Crackles:

 

 

Named, un-creatively enough, Purple Crackle & Blue Crackle.

 

I stopped at Claire's mainly to check their clearance, but then I spotted their Crackles:

 

 

I realized after I lined them up that the stem on the white was longer than all the others, which is kind of weird.  They don't have actual names, so they're just pink, black, white & silver.

Then these are back from my birthday last month, from my friend Sam:

 

Top is the brand Love & Beauty, and they didn't have names so they're just blue, neon green & yellow glitter.  Bottom is Mood Struck Berry Pink to Neon Pink, Teal to Turquoise & Purple to Light Pink.

 

And a gift just a week or so ago from my aunt:

 

Top is Savina Money Tree, then Revlon Bright Sky, Mauve Twinkle, Golden Glimmer & Lavender Light.  Bottom row is L.A. Colors Bright Pink, then Cover Girl Pink Twinkle & Crystal Mist.

 

Here's the vid:

 

 

& then here are some close-up pics of the crackle combinations I show at the very end of the vid - the bad on top & the good (with a layer of topcoat between the 2 crackles) on the bottom:

 

I think that's everything ... for now =)  Thanks for reading.
