It seems that nail art designs are expanding their limits and nowadays there is literally nothing you can’t do when it comes to nail art. One of the latest trends that gains popularity is the crackle nail art trend. This technique uses a special shattering nail polish that gives a crackled/shattered/marbled effect.
Crackle nail polishes are created especially to be applied over a coat of dried nail polish and start to shatter and develop cracks as the coat dries. The result is absolutely fierce and fashionable and the combinations which can be achieved are endless.
The innovative shatter nail lacquers come in a variety of shades, but the most common shades used are black and white. They can be used to coat any nail varnish shade, the results being unique regardless of the colors. From soft pastels to shimmery brights or mattes, anything goes and the best thing about this one of a kind nail polish is that it can be used with ease by anyone.
Now you can say good bye to those expensive nail salons and hello to homemade nail art as you can now have a fabulous at home manicure created by yourself. The shattered effect nail polishes have to be applied over a dried nail polish as you would apply any other nail varnish and soon after application the results will start to become visible.
