There has been a new invention in the world of nails recently and that is cracking nail polish. It is a fantastic creation and one that is so simple and effective.
I have only seen two brands on the market which make cracking nail polish and they are BarryM and OPI.
However, I'm sure as the craze catches on even more than it already has done, more and more brands will start producing it.
OPI is the more expensive of the two, at around £10.50 a bottle, but it has a larger range of colours (black, white, red, blue, silver, navy and turquoise).
BarryM is most definitely the more affordable nail polish, at an amazing £3.99 a bottle. However, it only has a limited number of shades (black, white, pink and blue).
On the other hand, price is very much a factor, as you can buy two colours and it still won't add up to one bottle of OPI. It also works just as well as the OPI equivalent, so why pay more!
To get the cracked effect, all you need to do is follow a few simple steps.
Step 1 - Paint your nails with a contrasting shade to that of your cracking nail polish and leave to dry.
Step 2 - Paint one layer of cracking nail polish on your nails. Make sure you have quite a lot on the brush the first time, as several strokes will ruin the effect.
Step 3 - Once the cracked nail polish has dried, use a clear coloured top coat to ensure long lasting nail colour and a shiny finish.
There you have it, amazing nail effects without spending a fortune in a salon!
