I think these are probably the last crackle nail polishes I will purchase. It seems that every brand of nail polish is releasing crackle polishes in a rainbow of different colours. We don't really need so many and I don't know why I have so many either! They were a novelty while it lasted and although they are still a nice effect on the nails, it will probably be a while until I use a crackle polish again.
Having said that, I want to write my last crackle polish review of Model's Own Smash Up polishes in Purple and Pink. I picked these up for £8 for the two which is a little bargain right there! The colours are very pretty, the Pink is very neon and almost exactly like the new Barry M Pink crackle but the Purple has a lovely shimmer to it that I really like.
I've been wearing the Purple Smash Up for the past week and it has lasted well. It was a little thin when I applied it, which was quite surprising, but I found that you can do more than one layer and it will still look OK. The neon Pink is a little hard to wear, as in I'm not sure what sort of base coat, other than very pale nudes, white or black, I could use underneath it.
Models Own are also selling an Orange Smash Up on ModelsOwnIt.com as well as the Black and Silver but I'd really love to see some different colours, maybe some greens or yellows in the collection, and that doesn't just go for Models Own but all polish brands. However, I think the future of crackle polishes might be in mixing different colours together and ending up with some sort of rainbow crackle. Have I got something there?
I've never tried a crackle nail polish, although they're a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm fed up of crackle nail polises tbh lol
ReplyDeleteI only have black crackle nail polish, and that's enough for me! Although I do like the purple one :)
ReplyDeleteRainbow crackle polish may just be the future!

I like the look of the purpley one :) xx
ReplyDeleteRainbow crackle sounds like a good idea. I know what you mean about them being everywhere, it seems like everyone's bringing them out but the novelty has worn off.

I have the purple, I like it for the metallic/glitteryness. I also bought the silver as I too got the 2 for £8 but I've not tried it out yet.xx
ReplyDeleteYou know I've never tried crackle polish, but I think it's a good thing. I would just pick the polish off constantly! The texture would be too tempting! :)

I barely use my black one so agree with you here - I think they're a bit too punky for my style haha,

ReplyDeleteA rainbow nail polish could be amaaaze!! thanks for visiting my bloggggy!
ReplyDeleteI am so bored of crackle polishes now. It's a trend which is in for a while but will be out soon. Although it looks nice I really do prefer my polished looking nails rather than the grungey effects the crackles give! Any polish jumping on the bandwagon now is really very late with this trend!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice! I still haven't done it yet :) xo
ReplyDeleteOh I wish Models own was sold in Australia, they have some lovely nail polishes!
ReplyDeleteWonderful blog you have here.

ReplyDeleteThe purple one looks lovely but I'm not a fan of crackle nail polished myself!
