Crackle Glaze By China Glaze

I love the colours in the China Glaze Crackle range. I have so far purchased 6 of the 12 or so colours that are available in the Crackle Glaze range. The polishes in the picture are: Broken Hearted (pink), Crushed Candy (teal green), Lightning Bolt (white), Black Mesh (black), Platinum Pieces (silver), and Fault Line (purple). Other colours are available.

The crackle effect is so easy to create and can be done in the matter of a few easy steps. All you need to do apply a base colour. This can be any make and any colour, as long as you don't choose the same colour as the Crackle Glaze you want to put on top. Once that colour has dried you apply the crackle.

The way the polish cracks depends on how it is applied, which makes it unique and fun. If you apply the polish to the nail thinly then the cracks will be small and there will be lots of them. If you apply the polish thicker then the cracks will be bigger and there will be less of them. Also depending on what direction you paint the polish onto the nail, will depend on which way the cracks will go.

Once the Crackle Glaze has dried a topcoat needs to be applied to help the polish stay on longer, and give it a shine.

I am really liking these at the minute and they look great on your toes as well as fingers. They also last longer on the toes.

The crackle effect would also look good during Halloween, especially with the Glow in the dark under the crackle glaze. 

China Glaze Glow In The Dark Polish

For the Halloween season China Glaze have brought out their Halloween collection. One of them polishes being 'Goulish Glow'. This polish can be put either straight onto the nails, or ontop of a nail polish.

When applied the polish goes on clear and unless you tell somebody nobody would know your wearing it. Because it only glows in the dark it uses the light to charge up, so when it gets dark it glows really bright.

This polish was the first to sell out at work, though most of them were bought by staff, rather then customers.

If you are looking for a polish for Halloween this is the one to get. Another way of wearing the polish is this. Put a halloween colour on like green or red or orange, then put the 'Goulish Glow' ontop. To make it extra scary put the China Glaze 'Black Mesh' Crackle Glaze on that. This means that in the dark you should see the polish glowing through the cracks.

The other good thing with it being Halloween is you can try lots of different things, and then put the glow in the dark on top for an added effect.
