current nail polish - Trinity Junkie
My crackle nail polish collection is growing. I received 2012 Cherimoya Cracked Nail Polish in Trinity from my "mother-in-law" for my birthday. (She also got me a black crackle from Pure Ice. I was so excited because I wasn't expecting anything :).) The 2012 Cherimoya collection has 24 colors, and it's a big range. It was so hard to choose a polish. Trinity (in the bottle) seems a little darker than Pepto Bismol, but since I love pink I'm okay with that. I paired it with Sinful Colors Nail Junkie (which I absolutely adore) and I like the results.
The Cherimoya polish has a REALLY strong odor to it, like enough to knock you out. Well not literally but it is intense. The brush is short and thick and I prefer this brush over the SH crackle brush. The polish itself isn't too runny. It dries fast and has a matte finish (although I added a top coat) I would purchase another bottle from this brand because they have such a wide variety and it's in my price range.

What's on my nails...
I never know whether to call these posts NOTD or NOTW. Anyways, today I'm wearing Sally Hansen Crackle Topcoat in Cherry Smash over Wet n Wild Hannah Pinktana.
The crackle polish was a gift from my boyfriend. My review is the same as with the blue crackle in the previous post. I couldn't cover the nail with one swipe of the brush but had no problem with layering the polish because I did side by side swipes.
I don't have any other crackle polish to compare the Sally Hansen Crackle Topcoat to but after using both SH Distressed Denim & this one I can say I would purchase another bottle. Although after reading other reviews I don't think I would purchase the gold SH crackle.
Do you own any of the Sally Hansen Crackle Topcoats? What's your favorite crackle polish?
3 coats of Hannah Pinktana, 1 coat of Cherry Smash with one coat of Clear top coat

Sally Hansen Crackle Topcoat
So my wonderful boyfriend gave me my birthday present early. My birthday isn't til the 26th but he was excited to give it to me because he knew I really wanted it. He got me 2 Sally Hansen Crackle Topcoats. (I may have mentioned several times that I wanted some crackle polish.) He told me he had asked the employee at Walgreens about the crackle polish & she told him that they were flying off the shelves. He got me Distressed Denim and Cherry Smash. I didn't take a picture of the bottles.
The first color I decided to use was Distressed Denim over Island Smoothie.
The brush is long and skinny, so it took multiple strokes to coat nail. Although I did not layer the crackle polish itself, I did side-by-side strokes. It's the first crackle polish I used so I don't have anything to compare it to so overall I was impressed with the effect. I just wish the brush was shorter and thicker.
