Crackling it up!!!

I had bought some of the China Glaze Crackle polishes awhile back and decided to experiment. I was trying to figure out a good color combo and felt a green and black would work. The base coat is Nicole by OPI in Iceberg Lotus. This color is an interesting iridescent green type of shimmer to it. I like more of an opaque look so this took about 3 coats to get it to an opaque I could deal with. The shimmer it has to it is pretty awesome. I wish I had photographed it prior to the Crackle but I didn't. I used the Black Mesh Crackle on top and was pretty pleased with how it came out. The green sparkles through the black. The picture doesn't really do it justice.

Nail polish haul...

See the problem with sales on nail polish is that I have to buy a bunch....hahahahaha!!! BUT IT WAS ON SALE!!!! Sally and Ulta still had their buy 2 get 1 free deals going on, plus with Ulta I got $5 Ulta cash....just so I can perpetuate my nail polish collection...lol!!!




And the other problem with shopping for nail polish is that I never remember what I have so I am going to catalog my polish in Excel (I know, very nerdy). I think I got some duplicates. I need to figure out how to organize them a little better cause I'm running out of room. I got some Bundle Monster plates in the mail the day before last so I'm quite excited about that and now have some new designs to play with. I ordered some empty nail polish bottles off of e-Bay and got a bunch of glitter to play with. I'm going to try to make some frankens with them. Hopefully that goes well.
