China Glaze Crackle

So here is the China Glaze Crackle swatch minus Concrete Gray.

CG Black Mesh - Black
CG Broken Hearted - Pink
CG Crushed Candy - Torqouise
CG Lightning Bolt - White
CG Fault Line - Dark Purple Shimmer

All of them are of matte finish.

The base colour for this manicure is Zoya Caitlin topped with Orly Prisma Gloss Gold.

Zoya Caitlin & Orly Prisma Gloss Gold

This is 2 coats of Zoya Caitlin. The polish is a little thick but not too thick. Which is a good thing as I won't need so many coats to get it to look opaque.

Truthfully, I don't really fancy it. I've applied Orly Prisma Gloss Gold for some bling.

Zoya Marley & China Glaze Crackle Fault Line

Finally, I'm able to try out Zoya Intimate's collection. Zoya Marley is a soft lavender with minor shimmer. Not really visible on nails though.

It was opaque in 2 coats but it could be opaque in 1 if it was thick enough. Application was easy and drying time is ok for me.

It look slightly streaky to me but it seems to look fine if you don't look too closely.

Ahh, I should've really cleaned up the sides that is near the cuticles but I'm just too lazy! No one will notice it from afar.

Here it is with China Glaze Fault Line. I had to take 2 of these pictures under warm lighting so the purple will show out. It looks blue if taken under cool and natural lighting.

OPI Teenage Dream

Ok, next glitter!

This is OPI Teenage Dream. 2 coats. I wish OPI Last Friday Night was as glittery, then it'd be perfect! I love how it lots of micro glitter with sporadic medium sized glitter.

And I bet this will be really hard to be remove. Also, I'm applying 2 coats of top coat this time.

OPI The One That Got Away & China Glaze Crackle Broken Hearted

Another one from OPI Katy Perry Collection. I don't really fancy the colour. It looked totally different in other swatches that I've seen online. Wish it has more brown in the though.

This is 2 coats. I might try China Glaze Pink Crackle on it tomorrow if I feel like it.

Since I'm so fond of this colour, I decided to layer China Glaze Crackle Broken Hearted on top. Didn't know that it turned out to be a much better one. The combination's great too. Love! Please ignore the naked pinkie finger in the first picture.

OPI Last Friday Night & China Glaze Crackle Crushed Candy

,This is the 2nd colour from the OPI Katy Perry collection. OPI Last Friday Night is very sheer. Here it is 3 coats and still sheer. I like the glitter though. It has some foils in it too.

Hope you like it because I do. I think this will look good layered over any blue polishes - especially creme navy blue.

OPI Last Friday Night
Essie Good To Go

A day later, I got bored with the nail colour. I painted China Glaze's Crackle Crushed Candy on top of OPI Last Friday Night. The crackle turned out good. The trick is to apply a thick coat to get bigger crackle. Thin coats will have not so noticeable crackle. No top coat this time.
