Today I recieved my Barielle order of Positive Zen-ergy ("
A warm, mossy green with silver shimmer") and Welcome OHM ("
Warm creme plum").
Well, I started painting my nails with Welcome OHM. As soon as I started, I knew it was going to be all bad. The lighting in the room was bad, so I ended up with an uneven first coat. Then, my daughter had an 'accident' (we are potty training), so in taking care of that, I smudged and chipped my polish all up. I figured it was the perfect opportunity to use my new crackle's as well! :)
I freaking love it! lol. I used Max 2012's black crackle called Eternity. I have never used a shatter or crackle polish before, so I had no idea what to expect. It smelled awful and dried super fast. Most my nails got really good cracks, though. My left hand index finger didn't crack so well, but I was still getting the hang of how to apply it quickly because it dries so quick that if you miss a spot and try to go back over it, it kinda messes the whole thing all up. My thumbs cracked really well and my pinkies both kind of did just one big crack down the middle.

I love how the crackle dried matte in contrast to the shiny finish of the purple. I wish my pictures could have captured that better. I don't want to put a top coat on and ruin that look. Definitely am going to look into getting some matte polishes after this. Also, I love the black and purple together. It reminds me of Halloween!
