NOTD: Black Crackle & Gold

This week's mani colors remind me of a great Sam Sparro song, Black and Gold. Jam! Now, on to the post...

I finally managed to get my paws on a SEPHORA by OPI shade I've been lemming for a while now: the sparkly golden-taupe Already Famous.

Look at that sparkle!

I love this shade because it's a more understated way of blingin' out your nails. To me, Already Famous is the polish equivalent to MAC's Reflects Antique Gold pigment: glittery, sure, but also sophisticated. The taupey gold color goes with anything in your closet, and though it is a sparkly polish, I could see this working in an office setting too.

Understated elegance... nails like money!

Already Famous is beautiful on it's own, but I have been meaning to bust out my China Glaze Crackle polish in Black Mesh more often--it's such a cool and unusual finish, plus I dig how colors look underneath the crackle effect:

Hotness. Is it bad that I want to finish every mani now with Black Mesh over top? I know crackle polish comes in other colors, but black is the most versatile. At least having a preference for Black Mesh curbs my crack(le) addiction from developing any further smile
