Today I have an elegant crackle manicure to share with you. While at Walgreens I ran into the Sally Hansen new crackle collection and decided to get
Antiqued Gold. I chose to pair it with
Zoya Avril, a beautiful dusty pale pink creme. Avril takes time to get a smooth manicure. I got away with two coats because I was putting crackle on top, but if you want it opaque on its own or have longer nails, you will need three coats. Here is Zoya Avril on its own:

After the polish was completely dry (I waited 15 minutes) I added a coat of Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat in Antiqued Gold.

The effect is very subdued but I think it has the elegant look of ballet and Versailles and yes, antiqued gold. This crackle didn't crack as much as the OPI Black Shatter, so I recommend using a very thin coat.
Overall I'm pleased with how this turned out.
What do you think? What colors would you pair gold crackle with?
That looks great! I think since the crackle is such a soft, muted color, it would look awesome with a bright color that really pops out underneath.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I'm thinking a neon orange would be fun.
