China Glaze Metallic Crackle Glaze Skittles

I thought crackle skittles would be fun on my new mini nails
The China Glaze Metallic Crackles are such fun colors
Right to left, top to bottom: Latticed Lilac, Haute Metal (My favorite), Cracked medallion, Platinum Pieces and Tarnished gold
Tarnished gold up close
I did this a little thicker to get wider cracks
These give a lighter application so you can do a subtle crackle finish or apply thicker for serious crackle
I really like these, they are more versatile than most crackles since they are sheer if you apply lightly.
I did Haute Metal over a baby pink on my youngest and it gave a nice subtle crackle...of coarse she then picked at it until I couldn't get a picture. (She's 3 so not the best model choice)

Overall, Application is very nice, dry time is excellent and formula is awesome.
The crackle trend is being beaten to death but if you haven't tried any I think the metallics are my top pick!

What does EvilAngel do when she breaks a nail?

She says several very bad words! (not because of the broken nail but cuz it hurt)
My car door handle attacked me yesterday...
When I break a nail....I do it right! lol
And of coarse I do it before I get pictures of the pretty new franken!
So what now? I file like a mad woman!
So now I will be sporting my new nubbins...aren't they teeny and cute!
I made another in my neon flakie franken series...GREEN!
I added aqua shimmer which kind of killed the jellyness, but I love it anyway
I used gold flakies in this one
Sadly I have no sun to get good pictures showing the flakies off
I might add more clear to re jellify this. She needs a name...Feline, she needs a Swedish name! :o)

China Glaze Metallic Crackle glaze- Oxidized Aqua

China Glaze new Metallic Crackle collection is 6 shades of metallic crackle fun!
Oxidized Aqua is well, a metallic aqua. :o)
The metallic look of this crackle gives it cool effect....aged almost
It dries quickly and you can make a finer cracked look by using a thin coat or wider, heavier cracks by using a thicker coat
I like it without top coat but if you want a smoother shiny finish top oat works great over it
I think I might do crackle skittles! :o)

Nicole's Heart Franken

As promised I made a fun Neon orange jelly with flakies franken
And named it after my dear friend Nicole (from nightly Nails blog) because it reminds me of her...
warm, beautiful, happy and far more interesting and complex than some plain old orange!
(I love you Nicole & you better email me your addy so I can send you one of these)
This girl is so hot I wore it for 4 days
Yes I took 6 billion pictures of it
I added warm and cool flakies to make it more wearable for me
Pink and yellow/golden flakies....drooooool
This is an orange I truly love, even on me!
Oh I am going to wear the crap out of this franken!

Sorry I've been busy

I am trying to post more regularly but I got rather busy
trying to finish up some work and when things start rolling I lose track of everything until it's finished.
So what stole me away from you....
My new Spectrum pots!
I have been working on this formula since early December.
Originally the idea was to be the fat liner pencils but that was a huge fail about 3000 times.
So I changed gears and looked to making them pots and TADA...it worked!
These are not a gel liner but more a cross between "paint pots" and "jumbo pencils" they work like a brightly colored sticky base, a creamy liner or a lid color. Since they are wax based (more like a liner) they apply best with a stiff angled liner brush, a sponge tip applicator, cotton swab or your finger.
These are the first 6 colors with many more to come.
I am very proud of the outcome and excited to see what everyone thinks.

I also spent a lot of time hunting down leak-proof non glass sample tubes so I can offer
my Hardcore lips in a sample size. I finally found a fit and tested it to death so now samples are available.

Oh and last night the lovely MoreSynthPlease caught my up in a spur of the
moment lipstick creation that stormed into a new product that I have not decided on if it will be Limited edition or something more but here she is...
More Synth glitter lipstick!
It was really fun to create and the Twitter mob demanding I put it up for sale on the website last night says it must be a good thing! XD

I will get back to regular posts Monday (I have 2 sick kids right now)
Miss you all!
