Hello Readers,
I don't know what got into me today but I started off with OPI 'Step Right Up' which is a very pretty pale pink that covers perfectly in 3 coats. The trick to this polish is to use as light and few strokes as possible to prevent streaking. I then thought about some sort of glitter but didn't want the hassle of removing it (even with the aluminum foil method it still takes time... and I wasn't having it today lol). So, I put a coat of Nabi's 'Coffee' crackle polish. Now, the name of this color does NOT accurately describe the shade. It's almost a dark mauve with brown undertones.
Now for the photos...

So, what do you guys think? Is crackle completely dead and out of trend or is something more muted like this still ok? lol You won't hurt my feelings, I bought some of these type of colors a while ago but never wore them. I really like this color! Hope you enjoyed my post for today!
♥ Cheers,
Bridget

I'm a little bit over the old crackles but I still like to see different colors like this, more subtle and unique.
You're doing a really nice job with your photos! Nice combo of colors here!
I still like them. And the muted colors are a new twist. Great pics. Great quality
I like those two colors together. I haven't done any crackles in a while. But, gosh, I do have a lot of them!
This is a great combo!! I've never been into crackle, so it's not my thing, but I like how this looks... I think because of the colors you chose.
I love crackles. This one is such a gorgeous colour, too.
looks realy pretty!
I'm still unsure whether I like crackle, I sort of did then didn't but this colour combo looks beautiful on you Bridget, maybe I need more subtle colours in crackle!!
Hehe thanks for your comments ladies!
I'm not a huge fan of crackles in general, but some of them look quite nice! I think a lot depends on the skill of the application - crackle tends to look sloppy unless it's perfectly done!
Having said that, I don't see myself buying a lot of crackles in the future.
Your light box looks like it's working great!

With all of the crackle polish that has come out I'm kind of crackled out, but it's nice to see colors of crackle that I haven't come across yet.

Phedre - I agree, this brand has one of the thickest crackles so you really have to work quick and with thin coats.
Amanda - Thanks, sweetie! I hope to get an ACTUAL camera soon... the phone is great but... it's not where I want to be!
Tara - Don't get me wrong I haven't done the crackle thing in a while, I just thought I'd try this out and see what the responses would be. So far there what I'd thought 'pretty color but ehh' and I took it off today ;o)
I like the crackles, I don't wear them too often though, I like the effects of them. ;)
