I love glitter but sometimes it just feels too much for every day.
Crackle glitters seem like the perfect alternative for a more subtle look. Let's see if they live up to that!
I had no issue whatsoever with formula and one relatively thin coat delivered enough glitter for an even coverage. I used topcoat as they tend to dry matte but once TC applied, they were super sparkly.
But, as much as I liked them over black, this is not the way I'd wear them.
Have you noticed how they match shades from the China Glaze Tronica collection? Unfortunately, the crakling doesn't show up that much on camera but in real life, it's gorgeous : subtle sparkle that I'd have no issue wearing at work.

Wow, the Jade and the Lavender are simply GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteI would never think of layering crackled over the same non-cracked color, but now I am sure I will give it a try!
Thanks!!
Very beautiful! Lovely glitter crackles <3 Your nails look gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI have been long over the crackle trend but I am seriously reconsidering after seeing them over black! Kinda on the pricey side though..
ReplyDeleteI'm loving Glam-More!
ReplyDeleteOoh...I thought I was over crackle polishes, but wow. Glam-More and Gleam Me Up, you will be mine...
ReplyDeleteWow, I really didn't think these would be this great, but OMG!
ReplyDeletei want glam-more i like this one :D
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteYour swatches are amazing!
I love this collection!
Not bad at all, and I have to agree: your swatches were particularly good :)
ReplyDeleteYour swatches are amazing! This is the only time I've seen swatches of these and thought wow I quite like them :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a crackle fan, but those actually do look really neat over black.
ReplyDeleteLove how you showed this over the corresponding Tronica shade! I am like many - was over the entire shatter/crackle soon as it began...I called it 'way to wreck a great mani.' I saw 2 in the past I sort of liked. One was an Aqua metallic from CG - the other is the OPI one from the Nicki Minaj collection. I did not buy either of them - but just might still - there are 2 of this collection that I think I like enough to buy as well...the green is fab - saw it over Zoya Tallulah and it looks super. Then I like the Luminous Lavender.
