Two nights ago I put on OPI DS Diamond. I used two coats. These first few pictures are from weird outdoor lighting at night.
This applied fabulously.
It's a really neat color that looks somewhat gray, somewhat silver, a little bit purple, and also a bit mauve at times.
I really like it!
I pretty much love all the Designer Series polishes - even the ones that aren't holographic.
Yes, it looks crazy and green in the bottle. I don't know why, but my bottle had green looking stuff in it when I bought it and no matter how much I shake it, it really won't completely go away or mix in.
I was lucky enough to find China Glaze Crackles yesterday! I cannot tell you how excited I was and am! I've been stalking them for weeks now and as I'm sure you know, they are quite hard to find (for a reasonable price). Needless to say, I found them all between two different Ulta stores, and was wanting them so bad I didn't mind too much paying a little more than what I would at Sally's.
Here it is, my very first crack manicure! This is Crushed Candy.
I really love this and am very happy with how it turned out. I'm thinking I'm going to have a lot of fun with my Crackles.
I realize I'm a little slow here catching on to this trend, but hey, better late than never, right?
I wasn't 100% sure that I would like the whole Shatter/Crackle thing, but I think I can safely say now that I do!

DS Diamond is pretty! But i don't like the blue crackle on top to be honest. Black or brown would have been better :)
Spaceinvaders - that's cool. I was a little timid and unsure about the Crackle thing in general, so I went for a color that didn't contrast too much in case it looked awful. Ha! Now I know better for the next time around. :) Thanks for the input!
I love the blue crackle on top of the crushed candy from CG and the silver polish pops out underneath! So very cool!
I realize it's a acquired taste but I love it. It's so unusual and I think this trend will spread like wildfire. Have you ever considered swatching a French manicure with crackled or shattered on the tips? Love OPI Diamond, I am going to pick that up really soon. Love how your nails are perfectly, (and I mean perfectly" shaped for you swatches. Unlike other web bloggers they are gorgoeus looking. Skin tone everything, just beautiful. Love your web blog!
Love,
Mc Huggs :)
