The cracking effect on nails is always fun and an easy way to try something different with ones nails without having to attempt serious nail art. I have used the OPI black cracking effect before and loved it over bright colours like pinks and reds.
Essence recently sent me a gorgeous dark blue top coat which I used over different base coats and found I loved it over a completely solid white shade the most. The first nail has a glittery on and the cracking effect did not go on evenly over it.
On my middle finger I applied it over a solid white colour (Blanc from Essie) and it really made the effect and colour pop.
My ring finger I applied it as is over a clear base coat.
Pinkie was over a solid black shade and it just seems to fade into one dark shade.
Overall I was impressed and at only R25 one can affordably try out this trend. Essence also has the cracking top coats in gold, silver, pink and black.
