Tip Top – U Crack Me Up

Cracked up nail polish is all the rage and you will no doubt see it all over the place as more and more brand release their version of cracked up polish. Always keeping up with the trends Tip Top, one of my all-time fave brands, has recently released their own version, in two fabulous colours and with a clever twist.

Available in two shades; Black Mosaic Crackle and Gold Rush Crackle, you can create your own colour combinations and effects. The U Crack Me Up polishes come in a duo container; one side has the crackle polish, and the other contains Top Flou Top Coat. At only R79.99 per duo, its totally affordable and leaves your nails looking stylish and trendy.

OPI Black Shatter Nail Polish

Seriously, how cool are my nails? A little short I’ll admit, but I love the graffiti-like, almost leopard print effect this crackle polish creates. It’s part of the new Katy Perry OPI collection, which also includes a fab range of colours that are on my wish-list. For now, I’ve made BFF’s with the Black Shatter Nail Lacquer.         Creating wild effects with this polish is so simple. All you do is paint your nails with any colour of your choice. I chose a yummy yellow from Sally Hansen called “Lemon Dash” as my base colour. Let the colour dry completely and then add a coat of OPI Black Shatter polish over it and watch it transform into a cracked effect before your eyes. So cool! You can create a crazy range of styles using different colours and different techniques with this shatter polish. Try light strokes, double coat strokes and even try playing around with how much pressure you apply when painting…
