The Crackle Nail Polish Trend
Crackle / Shatter Nail Polish is everywhere this season but the truth of the matter is this is not a new trend and was first seen in the 1990s when the brand Cover Girl released a version that fizzled out quite quickly due to the fact that the formula and application of the polish had not quite been perfected. The polish did not "crackle" correctly and was thick and just did not look right at all.
Fast forward to 2011 when it seems like every brand of moderate priced nail polish has so version of a crackle / shatter / texture nail polish in practically every color imaginable. It really does not matter what brand of this polish you buy they all seem to work the same way. A few hints to remember when using these polishes.
- You need to wear them over a base color that is completely dry
- The base color and the crackle/shatter color should be contrasting so you can see both colors.
- The thinner you paint the crackle the more cracks that will result. You can paint on a thicker coat of crackle if you want deeper more defined cracks.
- Crackle polishes will dry matte meaning that they will flake and chip easily so you need to always use a top coat with these polishes
The two most popular brands of these polishes are OPI who call their polish Shatter and China Glaze who call theirs Crackle. Both of these polishes were released around the same time, beginning of 2011. China Glaze released six colors at once, a black, white, grey, pink, purple, and blue and then over the summer released six more colors this time metallic crackles. The metallic colors are bronze, pink, purple, blue, silver, and gold. OPI took a different approach to releasing their colors and released one color at a time for the most part paired with a solid color meant to be paired with the shatter color though each could be worn on its own as well. The first color was a black and it was part of the Katy Perry nail polish collection as well as the Serena Williams Glam Slam Australia Collection. A red shatter and a white shatter came out for the Glam Slam France and a silver shatter was part of the Pirates of the Caribbean collection. Released on their own were primary, navy, and turquoise blue shatters. For breast Cancer awareness month in October will come a pink shatter. Both collections are quite similar with the major difference being that each brand has a different brush size so pick the one you like the best in terms of application.
There are plenty of other brands of these polishes as well. Sally Hansen can be found at most drug stores, Sally's Beauty has their own brand at their stores, and there are plenty of brands found online like Barry M and Mia which have the most colors to choose from.
Like many other things these polishes are most likely a fad so if you are interested in trying these polishes do not wait too long to go out and buy them.
