Awesome Crackle Nails

So I wanted to really try out my black crackle nail polish, from OPI [the god of nail polish]. Instead of doing one color beneath the black I used three colors so I could achieve a gradient effect. I did a different color gradient on each nail, of course you can stick with one color scheme on all your nails and be normal; but normal is overrated.
So here are step by step photos of all my nails. There are a bunch of naked nails; don't say I didn't warn you.

Final effect: 


Step by step:

Forever 21 Scented Nail Polish- Passion Fruit

Sally Hansen- No hard Feelings

Wet n Wild- French White Creme
OPI- Black Shatter

Unless you want to keep the matte finish of the crackle, I would definitely recommend applying a top coat since it intensifies the colors underneath.
Enjoy!

Finally got another youtube video up after like a month. Graduation and going to Canada sure took up a lot of my time, but now that everything's started to slow down I had time to do another nail tutorial. I was inspired by a bracelet I have, here's some photos of the finished design...

Ikat Print Nails

So I just recently bought myself a pair of printed shorts. They're a blue, white and black ikat print (see below) and they're my absolute favorite new shorts!

So I was inspired by these shorts and MissJenFabulous's youtube video on Ikat nails, to do an ikat design on my own nails :D This was my result...





Needless to say, I'm really happy with my nails :D
