Finally got it. Was it worth the wait?

Hey bloggers.

Hope your having a good day and still enjoying the lovely weather we have been having.

About three weeks ago I did a post on coloured nail varnish crackle.

The one I really wanted was the Barry M instant effects in white.

See here at my previous post. http://getyourglitterout.blogspot.com/2011/04/coloured-crackle.html

Well today I finally got my mitts on one.

What I love about a white crackle is the contrast your going to get with a dark colour underneath.

So for these pictures I have chosen to try the crackle with

Rimmel wear maxx in 397 Electric.

Which is a gorgeous navy blue, with a hint of sparkle too :)

Then I just painted the Barry M white crackle on top.

I love how small the crackle is when it's a new bottle because after a while the Varnish thickens and that makes the cracks to get large and sometimes a bit blotchy and that makes it look a little bit cheap and tacky and we don't want that.

I think this will look good with varnish in Grey, black and even bright colours like orange and yellow.

The new question is though. How long will crackle stay a trend?

Because sadly I don't think this time next year it will still be around.

So have you tried the new Barry M colour crackle?

In blue, pink or the white?

Let me know.

Coloured crackle?

Hey bloggers.

Hope you have had a super duper week.

After the several blog posts I have done on the Barry M's instant effect nail varnish in black

The trend for crackle is still big.

But it's changing...

Colour.

Nails Inc have just announced new colours of crackle including purple (Which I would love to try) and pink.

Barry M are bringing out a new range of colours at only £3.99 each, so far though I haven't seen them on the shelf in shops in Nottingham yet so I'm hoping they will be out soon.

They come in Blue, pink and white. The white is the one I'm looking forward to. I love dark background nails with bright foregrounds :)

17 at boots has also brought out a shade of crackle at a reasonable price.

The best part.

It's in a colour that no one else has done.(Or at least I think so)

Gold.

Well it looks more like a gold silver mix.

Now I have tried the 17 today.

I used Nails inc on my little finger and Barry M in racing green on my ring finger.

Now I know when you use crackle, it's going to be unique everytime.

But I prefer how it looks on the green then to the plum shade.

That said, it does dry very quickly and is a very nice change from the black crackle that everyone has been wearing.

Plus it would look amazing over more dark nail colours, such as Navy and Black.

So 17 is OK and I will wear it but I think I will wait for the more wearable Barry M colours.

Now just find a rich man to buy me the nails Inc special effects in purple. :):):)
