Kelier Purple crackle

Konačno i drugi crackle lakić koji mi je poslala Jessica s Bornprettystore.com - ljubičasti crackle (ne bi se baš reklo po fotkama :) ). Ne zamjerite neuredno nanošenje, žurilo mi se a još nemam kista za precizne popravke. Kao i s plavim crackle lakom, upute su iste - nanijeti bazni lak (ja na prvoj fotki imam kreč-bijeli minić iz Name a na drugoj CND Silver Chrome), ne nanositi nikakav nadlak, nanijeti tanki do srednji sloj crackle laka, gledati kako pucketa :D i kad završi, nanijeti nadlak. Nadlak je obavezan jer će se u protivnom crackle oljuštiti s nokta ali ne preporučujem brzosušeće jer mogu skupiti pukotine. Ja se još nisam baš ispraksirala u nanošenju jer mi nekako na svakom noktu ispadne drugi efekt zbog različite debljine sloja. Jedini minus ovih lakića mi je što se dosta teško skidaju, kao glitter, pa možda metoda skidanja folijom ne bi bila naodmet. Kelier crackle lakići mogu se naručiti s Bornprettystore.com, obični shipping je besplatan a možete iskoristiti i kupon za popust od 10% do 31.3. - PDBK31 (ukucati na checkoutu).

Finally, the second crackle polish from Jessica from Bornprettystore.com - purple crackle (you wouldn't say it by looking at the pics but it actually is purple :) ). Forgive the messy application, I was in a hurry and I haven't mastered any cleanup techniques yet). Like with the blue cracke, the instructions are the same: apply the base color (I used white on the first pic and silver (CND Silver chrome) on the second pic), do not apply top coat at this moment, apply a thin to medium layer of crackle, watch it crack :D and when the cracking is done, apply top coat. TC is a must since the crackle will chip off the nail without it, but I don't recommend fast-drying top coats because they can shrink the cracks back. I still haven't got the hang of applying crackle, somehow the effect is different on every nail. The only downside I could find is these are rather hard to remove, like glitter, so the foil removal method would probably be the best. Kelier crackle polishes are availabel at Bornprettystore.com, the shipping is free and you can use the 10% off coupon PDBK31 until 31.3. (enter at checkout).

Kelier blue crackle polish

Prije par dana stigao mi je paketić od Jessice s Born Pretty Store koja me zamolila da recenziram par stvarčica, između ostalog i... dva crackle lakića! ;;) Mislim da me uhvatila lagana crackle-manija :D. Tek sam ih jučer podigla na pošti a već ih mažem preko svega na što naiđem. Nakon nekoliko swatcheva na celofanu preko nekoliko boja, ova kombinacija mi se najviše svidjela. Za podlogu sam koristila srebrni CND Silver chrome. Na jedan sloj još mokrog srebrnog laka nanijela sam jedan sloj crackle laka - tanki sloj na svim noktima osim na srednjaku gdje je malo deblji. Izgleda da što je tanji sloj ima više pukotina a što je deblji, pukotine su šire (ili se to možda čini jer je i plava tamnija pa je veći kontrast prema srebrnoj podlozi). Nakon što lak ispuca i malo se osuši, dodaje se nadlak. Ne preporučujem brzosušeće, bolje je nanijeti neki za sjaj. Ja sam se zeznula i stavila Seche vite - naravno, za 10 minuta Seche je uspio stisnuti sve pukotine :P (vidi sliku dolje). Kako vam se čini ovaj crackle? I koji vam je tip crackle efekta ljepši - ovaj ili OPI/Barry M?
Born Pretty Store drži, osim lakova, raznorazne nail art stvarčice. Poslali su mi i jedan image plate i još par lakića, koje ću isprobati uskoro.Cracking lakova imaju u nekoliko boja: crna, ljubičasta, plava, zelena, crvena (više hot-pink) i žuta, dođu 4.5$ a do 31.1. uz kupon na stranici daju 10% popusta.

A few days ago I received a package from Jessica of Born Pretty Store . She asked me to review some of their products, including... two crackle polishes! ;;) I think a have a slight case of crackle-mania :D. I just picked these up from the post office yesterday and I've been applying them over everything I can get my hands on. I swatched various combos on foil and liked this one the best. For the base color I used one layer of CND Silver chrome. While the base polish was still wet, I applied one coat of crackle - all were thin coats, except the middle where I used a thicker coat. It seems that the thinner the coat is - the more crackles you get and the thicker it is - the cracks seem wider (this may also be because the contrast between the colors is more pronounced with the thicker coat). After the cracking is done and it dries a bit, I applied a top coat. I don't recommend quick-drying top coats, I would go with a thick coat (or two thin coats) of a glossy TC. I made a mistake and used Seche Vite and in 10 minutes it managed to shrink almost all cracks back together :P (see picture below). What do you think of this crackle? Which do you like better - this or the OPI/Barry M type of crackle?

Born Pretty Store holds various nail art goodies. I also received an image plate and some more polishes, I'll be trying soon. Cracking polishes come in several colors: black, purple, blue, green, red (more hot-pink) and yellow, they are 4.5$ and there's a 10% discount till 31.1. with a coupon on their site.
