The other week I picked up a crackle nail polish at the car boot; W7's deep purple. I've never really known what to make of the crackle polish thing - I think it looks fab, but I'm very partial to simple glossy dark nails. I rarely wear light or bright colours anymore. But, being a beautiful metallic purple and only 50p, I though I'd give it a go.
For the undercolour I used Tangerine by Barry M, and for the topcoat Collection 2000 2in1 topcoat (only 2.99, and I find it much better than some of the more expensive brands).
I like it, reminds me of the Cadburys Creme Egg wrapper! Takes a bit of practice to get a nice crackle though, a thinner coat does't show the purple too well. A a topcoat (that I normally don't use, I just tip whatever colour I'm wearing) is a must I found, brings out the metallic of the purple.
Overall though, I'm glad I didn't by a crackle full price. I like the look, but I certainly won't be wearing it very often, too busy for my nails :)
