Animal print nail art is everywhere at the moment, Barry M have even brought out a croc effect crackle polish which I picked up in Boots for the grand price of £3.99. Ok so it isn't snake skin but the overall effect is a bit more me. I managed to do a quick manicure whislt Estella had a nap. I even snapped a few photos for the blog but I smudged it soon after whilst clipping the nappy bag on to the pram!!
I used two coats of Essie- Sand Tropez and one coat of the Barry M Croc Effects. I did notice that when I initially swatched the two polishes, using only one coat of Sand Tropez, the croc effect came out much smaller and more defined, which I actually preferred! This is also a lot shinier than the standard Barry M black crackle polish, so I didn't bother with a top coat. Et Voila:
Wow I didn't know they did a proper crocodile one- may have to invest if the cracked on grows on me! x
Reply DeleteYeah crackle's a bit of a funny one isn't it, I always prefer it on other people but unsure of it on myself! Yours looked fab though :)
