came in the mail this week (had to order it off of eBay because it's been sold out EVERYWHERE) and I'm so souped to finally have my hands on it! I had the CoverGirl crackle polish in middle school and a few years ago I remember wondering what had happened to that finish. Well this season, both China Glaze and OPI have hopped onto the crackle bandwagon, with both companies releasing crackle polishes in a variety of color combinations:
China Glaze Crackle Glaze Collection, Spring 2011
OPI Katy Perry Collection
(turquoise jelly finish) as the base color. I thought the brightness of it would make a nice contrast against the Black Mesh crackle:
Turquoise & Caicos also reminds me of the Tiffany Dunks I've longed for forever. I've yet to find them in a Mens 6.5 
T&C reminded me even more of the Dunks after I painted Black Mesh over it, followed by a coat of Seche Vite
to seal it in:
I'd say the formula of China Glaze's Crackle polish is much better than Cover Girl's (after all, they've had more than a decade to improve). Once applied, the crackle effect took place almost immediately. There is a slight technique to applying the crackle polish though. Applying the polish thick yielded bigger cracks, while applying a thin layer made more discreet cracks:
Thick layer of polish on pinky; thin layer on ring finger
So siced about my dope nails though! Black Mesh crackle polish
is like sneakers for my digits
