Golden Oldie Thursday - Valentines

Hi all!

Another Valentines mani... let's get it over with *winks*. I was pondering what to do for this week... until I saw the Digital Dozen's Valentine inspire post. Two of them featured a heart done with crackle polish. Over a year ago I bought a set of crackle polishes, a silver base and a purple and blue crackle. This was long before I discovered nail art, and I thought it looked fun instead of wearing a plain colour. I haven't used these since I discovered nail art *winks*.

From left to right:

• Boulevard - Silver basecoat (unnamed, unnumbered)
• Boulevard - Purple Crackle (unnamed, unnumbered)

This mani was very easy, a silver base, two coats. Then I applied hearts with the bottle brush. They crackled while drying. On my thumb and middle finger I did a single big heart. On my ring finger you see a heart frenchie and on my index and pinky I did smaller hearts. I did top coat this, even though it's not that obvious. It would need more top coat to get rid of the texture completely.

I do like the use of a crackle polish like this, and the colours are a nice change as well (compared to all the red and pink you see at Valentine's). Do you still use your crackle polishes?
