Grape...Set...Match...Crack

Hi everyone!  So, I am fully recovered from the road trip from hell!  I had a great day at work (because I'm a rockstar.. Duh!), and got some awesome nail mail today!  I'm going to have such a great haul this week! :) 

Today I'm showing you Grape...Set...Match from the OPI/Serena Williams French Open set... French Open or Wimbledon?  Wimbledon I think.  You would also think I could get up and check but... Nope!  I'll leave a comment later, but I'm pretty sure this is the England set because Your Royal Shineness is with it too....  Yes.  Wimbledon!  lol  Sorry.  I also layered Revlon Grape Fizz on top of it because it smells SO AMAZING, but it didn't change the look of the polish in the slightest so I didn't think it was necessary to do two posts, or to completely redo my nails.  I will if you want me to though :) Mainly because I LOVE this polish so much! 



Look at that duochrome. In. Cre. Di. Ble.  I love it.  I had to work really hard to get it to show up on camera which is why the pic is all blurry an gross.  I'm sorry.  It had to be done.  How amazing is this polish?  I'm not going to say much about the formula except that it was PERFECT!  Seriously.  It was a dream to apply.  Ugh.  Love it.  



The next day I finally got my metal crack and had to try it!  Gold and purple always looks good together so I used that one to test them out.  Anybody else a (tad) bit bummed by the way these crack?  I mean, they're okay.  I like how it turned out and everything... but I haven't been able to get a really fine crack out of them.  If you have tips, please let me know! 

That's enough rambling for today except... I haven't told my new followers thank you lately!  I really do appreciate every one of you!  So, vote in my poll to tell me what finish you want to see next month and I'll see you soon!  Thanks for looking!

  2. I haven't even gotten around to trying my ChG metal crack. I think some are just made to be chunky rather than splintery like the OPIs.

  3. Ohhhh that duochrome is nice! I hope to see these polishes here :) The gold shatter looks really nice but you're right about no big ol cracks in it. Maybe if you painted it on thinner? Or if already doing that put it on thicker? Lol those are my only crackle tips

  6. @imfeelingnail-venturous Isn't it beautifuL? UGH! lol
    @KarenD I know. I wish they would a little more though. Generally I like the big cracks.
    @Carly @ Lacquered Lover I tried them all as soon as I bought them, but only one nail each! This is the first one I've actually worn
    @Olivia C.YES!

  7. I love the combo!!
    And I haven't tried these, but I think if you can use a really thin coat, it'll give a smaller crack effect.

  8. I love the duochrome effect there, plus purples are always awesome. As for the crackle, perhaps you could try applying a thin layer for finer cracks. :)
