China Glaze Crackle Collection Swatches

China Glaze Crackle Collection Swatches

I remember crackle polish from way back and the China Glaze Crackle's are so superior to those! I had no problems at all with applying them or removing them. They dried wonderfully and they weren't too thick or too thin. I prefer Black Mesh to OPI Black Shatter. I found the OPI to be a bit thick and it took a bit longer to dry. With Black Mesh I was able to apply a really thin coat or a thicker coat depending on what I wanted. It's going to come down to preference but the China Glaze is my pick.

I bought these from Transdesign and I'm so glad I got them. Remember to apply these to dry polish and wait just a bit before applying a topcoat. You can play with pattern by applying it in different ways to see what you get. You can put a thick layer, thin layer, apply it in horizontal strokes, diagonal strokes or put dots. Such a great polish to play with!

Now if China Glaze would make a green, red, silver, gold and a glitter crackle that would amazing!

Lightning Bolt (white creme) over Orly Iron Butterfly. I wanted to see what would happen if my base color wasn't dry before applying the crackle. It looks more white washed and I didn't get as much cracking.







Cracked Concrete (grey creme) over OPI Flashbulb Fuchsia.







Broken Hearted (pink creme) over Essie Playa De Platinum.







Fault Line (purple shimmer) over Nubar Barricade.







Crushed Candy (Tiffany blue creme) over Misa Jasmine.







Black Mesh (black creme) over China Glaze Cherish.
