Dare to Wear ~ Social Butterfly

Dare to Wear ~ Social Butterfly

Barbie pink with holographic glitters and bars

and

Funky Fingers ~ Burgandy Scales

Shimmery burgundy crackle 

I don’t wear this shade of pink very often, but all the holographic glitter made me give in and get myself a bottle of “Social Butterfly”.

The formula is quite thick but still very easy to work with. It wasn’t hard to paint to the edges of the nail without getting polish on the cuticles. It took two easy coats to get an opaque mani like this:

I don’t wear a top coat on this pic, because I wanted to put a crackle over it. After having added Funky Finger’s Burgandy Scales over the first nail, it was obvious that I would have to add a layer of top coat over the Social Butterfly polish before the crackle would actually work. (And yes, that is exactly how they spell ‘Burgandy’ on the bottle).

So - I put on a coat of Color Club’s top coat and waited for it to dry before applying the dark red crackle onto the remaining nine nails.

It’s been a while since I crackled. Not because I’m tired of it, because I’m way too early in my nail polish addiction to be tired of anything nail polish related yet :D but merely because I find it hard to make the polish crackle the way I want it to.

Anyway – here’s what it ended up looking like. There’s one layer of Color Club top coat on the crackle.

I am surprised over how much I like the colour combo. Barbie pink goes quite well with dark red.

Do you like it, or are you over crackles? Would you wear the pink alone? Or use the crackle over another colour? I appreciate your input! :)
