I bought the Mia Secret Crackle in Red and have it in Black. Both work beautifully. Key to getting the look on natural nails, to me anyway, is to apply at least 2 coats of the color you are going to be applying the Crackle over.Make sure it's completely dry, than apply the Mia Crackle Nail Polish over it. I've found depending on whether you put it on thicker, one coat, makes the crackle with larger cracks, put on thin coat and it makes real fine cracks..I apply one coat down the middle first and than one on each side of the center stroke of Crackle..Works beautifully for me...I let the Crackle dry for a few minutes and than apply a top coat over the crackle Nail Polish and it makes the crackle work even better. I've found it takes maybe up to 10 minutes for the crackle to become prominent like you may like. That look as the professionals does. Patience I've found, is the key to getting that look too, and lots of practice. I had to learn the Technique too, so it took me several tries to get it to look like I wanted..Once I figured it out, and it does a "Beautiful Crackle" on Natural nails too!..I love the look..I've got the OPI Crackle in the Silver and I can't tell any difference between the 2 brands except for the price of it..Mia Crackle is awesome, I'm buying even more of it because it does such a wonderful job..Hope this helps others who might be having problems getting the look..Friday, May 23, 2014
Buy Mia Secret Crackle Nail Polish Purple (CK12)
The picture is wrong on here, the color of the nail polish is purple. And I was hoping for a warmer looking purple than the bottle and with a shiny top coat that is exactly what I got. Dries matte. If you don't know much about crackle nail polish, it doesn't lay completely flat on the nail like a normal nail polish would, it has ridges where the nail polish constricts so with the texture it doesn't have a solid glossy finish even with a top coat. You can also control how much cracking you have on your nails by how thick you coat them. The thicker you coat the nail the less cracking you will get, the less you lay it on the smaller the cracks will be. Getting each nail to look the same is a little difficult, I haven't mastered that yet. I'm only giving this nail polish a 4 star rating because I have yet to determine how long it will last. I'm hoping for a week. (I've heard that crackle nail polish doesn't usually last that long before chipping)
