Crackle nail-art how-to:
Apply a base color of your choice. It can be any regular nail polish and this color will appear through the crack. For a super-chic look, try a metallic or glittery shade. Let dry.
Apply the crackle polish on top in quick strokes and random cracks will appear on the nail. For best results, choose a shade that make a sharp contrast with the base color. Let dry.
Apply a clear top coat and allow to dry
