I know that many of us are "over" crackles at this point, but if you're like me and don't quite love them when worn in the traditional way, there are still some fun ways to use them in a more unconventional way. For example:
- Use multiple shades for a crackle patchwork mani
- Try a crackle French mani
- Or how about a crackle diagonal mani
- Or even a crackle gradient half moon mani
In other words, there's still some fun to be had with crackles...especially at this price!
Thanks so much, Sonja and Impoverished by Polish, for the great sightings and pics!

I love that patchwork crackle mani. It looks like a mosaic!
I heard if you like the colors of some of the crackle polishes but don't want them to crack just add it on top of a matte polish or matte topcoat. Other ways to wear them without cracks is to apply them without a base coat.
I like the diagonal. I think I will try it with gold instead. Crossing my fingers because I do not like crackles (so why do I own 3?)
Ahh I need them! lol
Found them at my local store about 2 weeks ago. I really like the metallic ones. They just add that extra wow factor.
For another non-traditional effect with crackle, try sponging it over a mani. The result looks really cool, like a speckled dinosaur egg. Another cool mani effect is layering a jelly polish over a crackle.
