I do not know why I call these 'Nail of the Day' (NOTD) posts, when it is very rare that I wear my nail polish for just one day. Typically it's on for a week (Sunday to Sunday), so it should really be NOTW.
Anyway, I originally had wanted to have white nails this week with a super shimmery white glitter accent nail. After two coats of white polish I decided it was not going to look very nice, so I put black crackle over top of it. I didn't want to waste the white.
This is what I ended up with:
The simplicity of this, as well as the awesome contrast between the black and white, makes me love it. This is what crackle polish shoud look like, lol! I find I don't have as much luck with applying the shimmery crackle shades as I do with the solid crackle shades. The shimmery ones tend to be thinner in consistency and apply pretty sheer over your base color.
I did decide to give the accent nail another try...I put the glitter polish I had wanted to use on my ring finger nail - you can barely tell in these photos, though!
For this nail look, I used:
- Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Shade 4860-21 White Out
- OPI Nail Lacquer in Black Shatter
What do you think of this NOTD? Do you like the look of white polish - or does it scream 1980's a bit too loudly?
Have a great day!
