Some of you may have noticed that I have been trying to get myself into the metallic crackles- when they were first released I didn't get excited. The swatches on the internet were cool- but when I tried them in the store...
I was at a Ricky's store the other day drooling over nail polishes when I saw that Mattesse, like many other brands that have crackle nail polish, has made a shimmery and non-shimmery purple and blue crackle but doesn't...
I'm not too proud of these nails. Its not like I was at a costume party and I was hello kitty. Its not like I was at a babyshower for triplet girls. Its not like I was walking for breast cancer. Its not like I was at an...
I know, I'm in the process of changing this blog's name to the dailycracklemanicure because thats how much damned crackle I put up on this thing. I just want to give people pictures of all the options- and there seems to...
I have to admit I am really excited about the glitter crackles from Sephora, if I weren't so into magnetic nail polish at the moment I would definitely splurge on them. Maybe I will in a few weeks after the christmas post...
When I was going through my metallic crackle phase, another one of my favorite color combos was this guy- deep purple covered by purple metallic crackle. I got a lot of compliments on this one....
This has to be one of my favorite color combinations using gold crackle. Another good one is gold crackle over a deep warm red, or a bright cool red. The China glaze metallics collection is interesting because they have...
As my husband snored next my awake ass last night. I thought of all the nail polishes I wanted to work that were hanging out in my closet next to my ex's skeleton(like the gray that was on my nails at the time). Recently...
I really don't know what to tell you on this one. I love crackle, I love easy nail art. But I don't love gray and I don't love silver crackle. Maybe I'm missing the color combinations, I know I have tirelessly looked online...
I decided to be really bad ass and create a silvery shoe nail art manicure. I used stamps from Amazon's bundle of nail art plates. The pro of this manicure was that it was shoes, and the silver and purple(my awesome iphone...
I'm not going to lie. Even though I barely post on this blog anymore, I still give myself over extended manicures every day. I'm just too lazy to share them. This one was especially long because I had to come up with the...
Like every other meat shoveling gluttonous american, I love thanksgiving. Its a day where I can shamelessly poor pig grease all over my buttery vegetables and claim that I'll start my diet the next day! I had mozzerella...
It is a real shame that this stuff is so expensive and pretty hard to find. I'm not sure if it will become a big trend, but I absolutley love it. I haven't bought a bottle because I'm too cheap, so I just go to sephora and...
So In the spirit of my recent dotting tool purchases, I have been researching easy- intermediate nail designs that I can do on my short nails and have it look halfway decent. I have never sponged before, so I figured I needed...
I will be honest with all of you, I have been in a big ball of depression, dealing with life. Working so hard for no money, with no health insurance and no security is really hard. The other day at work I needed a pick-me-up,...
I'm sorry! I worked all summer so I could work all year and not get paid for it! (I'm a grad student for teaching, and I am student teaching this year.. yeah). Anyway, the summer was FANTASTIC, my awesome, lucrative job...
My manicure of the day (tomorrow really, cuz I'm going to bed now) is a combination of two of my new favs. I told you that I bought color club's new shatter (fractured) in blue (have a bash) and fuchsia (Crush on you). Well,...
