Crackle Madness with Cirque

Today I have some crackle madness for you all. I KNOW I KNOW, I can hear it already, the sighs of disappointment as you read the word 'crackle'. I too am not a fan, but this crackle polish is a bit different. It is a sparkle crackle, and you all know I can't walk away from anything that sparkles!!

I won this polish last year in Sassy Paints Giveaway, but because my hubby got sick I wasn't able to use it til now.  I have been anxiously waiting to use it and finally did tonight!

The base color for tonight is Cirques - Kabocha. This was a limited edition Halloween polish that was released in 2012.

This is 3 coats, but this polish is fabulous. It's so easy to apply and 3 coats to get it opaque were thin coats. It does dry matte so keep that in mind, but the best part is that it is glow in the dark.

. 

Once Kabocha was dried, I layered on the China Glaze Jade-D and sat back to allow it to crack. I love how it came out. It's super fun looking and so Sparkly.

My glow in the dark pic tonight leaves a lot to be disired lol, but here it is...

The crackle looks so cool when it glows !!!

I hope you guys liked this one. I wanted to try a combo that I don't think anyone has paired together :) What do you think? I know Crackle is much hated so I would love to hear what you all think.

Happy Earth Day!!

I had a billion ideas for my Earth Day manicure as far as nail art. I knew for sure my base would be Cirque's Lonesome George. The only problem is, once Lonesome George was on, it seemed crazy to cover it up or change it in any way. I decided to just leave it alone, and I'm glad I did!

If you love green polishes, like myself, this polish is a MUST HAVE. 

These pictures are 2 coats, indoor with artificial lighting with no top coat. I did want to take outside pictures, but as soon as I attempted to, the sun crawled into the clouds and decided to leave us for the day. Isn't that how it usually works with Holographic polishes when we want to photograph them?

Cirque describes this as: A jeweled-tone green polish with a rainbow holographic finish. I think that is a perfect description of this polish.

This is my first true holographic polish outside of the Milani 3D Holographices (which were touted as 'faint').  I now understand why there is such love for Holographic polishes, becasue like this one, they are stunning!

For the rest of my day I will be going outside to plant some grass seeds on a few bald spots I have in my yard, and to reseed my regular grass. What a perfect day to plant something!!! 

Happy Earth Day!
