Playing with Crackle

Now that all of my challenges are done, I have time to play around before the one for autumn starts.  Do any of you follow Veronica at Gorgeois?  If you don't follow her, your nuts.  She is super talented when it comes to nail art.  I just love her stuff.  She recently did a another design using crackle that is amazing.  Here is the first design.  This amazed me.  I hate crackle but found myself trying to borrow crackle from co-workers to try and recreate it.  I failed miserably.  I will show you my design in a minute.  I kept it in a file unposted because it looks like a third grader did it compared to Veronica's.  Then, the other day, she posted another one.  I wrote and told her I hated her.  I don't really hate her.....just her talent. ;)

Here is what I finally had to settle for after my crackles wouldn't crackle or they were too faint to show up on the basecoat.


If it was black, it would like like tire tracks.

  3. I like it! I don't see the problem with your application, but I guess these aren't from the "failed" attempt? I think you should do another one with this pink and black. It would look supasweet. ;)

  5. I love Veronica's blog! Usually I just drool and think how one day maybe I will be brave enough to attempt these things. I am liking these with just the pink!

  7. I think it looks sweet. No fail at all. I still think that there are so many possibilities left to play with crackles. I just played with them too the other day. :D

  12. Very nice use of the crackle. As I am not a fan of the overall crackle look, I can see some possibilities for it...my mind is now flooding with ideas!
