New 31DC Day 20: Texture

Texture is one trend I'm not super fond of. I haven't tried any of the new textured polishes, but I really like everything to be nice and smooth. Even gritty glitters drive me crazy. So crackle was really the only type of texture polish I even own right now.

I started with a base of 2 coats of Essie- Your Hut or Mine. This was also my oldest untried polish. I was supposed to post that a few days ago, but I never got to it. I love this pretty golden shimmer it has to it. I put one coat of Sally Hansen Crackle- Ink Splatter over top. I didn't use top coat so it would stay very textured.

A quick crackle

I read somewhere that if you apply a crackly polish horizontally, it would look like zebra stripes. So I tried it, and I don't think it looks like zebra at all. It's still cool though. Then I added a heart with a dotting tool to make it a little girly.

Day 3: Yellow nails

Much like orange, I'm not a huge fan of yellow either. I'm always afraid it's going to look like I have some kind of fungus...though that's obviously not the case. Anyway, I topped the yellow with a black crackle on this mani. My 3-year-old said they looked like bumble bees :)
