2012 Cracked Polish & Review


I know all the beauty junkies was amazed when they first heard about the new crack nail polish because I was.

When I first saw the polish in the stores I was reluctant to get it. After searching for pictures and viewing the outcome, I decided I might as well try it out.

A week or so ago asked my cousin to purchase it in purple for me and this is what i got out of it:

If you notice some nails look okay and others look horrible. This was my first time trying it and I believe I got a cheap brand.
I tried many designs on one hand and on the other i picked the design i liked the most. While applying I used the nail polish differently on some fingers. For example, I used one coat lightly with the base colors, i doubled coated the base colors, i quickly applied the cracked nail polish, or i coated the purple cracked nail polish many times.

The nail polish didn't chip until 2 days after, which was a plus. How ever, i didn't like how the cracked nail polish showed over the dark navy blue color. It seemed to show well on the white & light turquoise blue, only after coating the base polish more than once.

I will try this type of nail polish and application again, but I wont use or recommend this brand unless you are on a budget. It was bought for $1.99. I will also try it with solely one base color.

I hope everyone is enjoying the SALES: summer sales, independence day sales, just because sale, and the we-are-about-to-get-a-SH*T-load-of-new-inventory-so-we-have-to-have-a-sale sales! 

I have been trying to enjoy the sales but I seem to be wasting all my money, mostly on cosmetics and food. I did however by some clothing from a few factory stores (my way of thinking I'm saving pesos).

But to all of you folk that are shopping and should be shopping, get the items while they are on sale.

I know you want to wait until black friday or some other holiday, but, clothing wise, now is when you buy the summer and spring clothing, and last winter's inventory! Shop only for sale items until that special friday in November.

If you want to shop all year round start hitting up the outlets and factory stores. Now that I have to support my aspiring businesses I have to keep track of my money while having a shopping habit, therefore I shop for SALES!!
