Don't Go Breaking My...Nails?

I've seen so many people using shatter nailpolishes lately, and it is definitely a rising trend for this summer season. There are many different high-end brands that sell these nailpolishes (ex: OPI shatter, China Glaze Crackle), but there are also many drugstore brands as well. Since the high-end brands can retail for about eight dollars a tube, I decided to try a cheaper brand that I purchased at my local beauty supply store for three dollars. It is by the brand "Kleancolor" and it is the "Crack" line. They have a large selection of color choices; I picked up the color "Blue Crackle". There are a few tricks to help achieve the look that you want. Make sure you use a base coat with your polish. If you want a color under your crackle polish, the color can be used as a base coat. The polish dries very quickly, so keep an eye on it as it crackles. Once you have the desired look, apply the top coat immediately. If you wait too long to apply the top coat, the paint will peel off. These are the tips that I found helpful when using this polish, and they definiely helped me achieved the desired shattered look. Here are some pictures of my results:
