It dries the polish underneath, but I have heard that it doesn't do as well over a top coat as it does directly on the super dry polish. My black crackle toes I did recently seemed to work pretty well. I didn't do that one over a top coat.Painting Rainbowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073866077205726248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102055449384724860.post-28140814618654635102011-07-25T18:35:24.253-04:002011-07-25T18:35:24.253-04:00Love the glitter!

I did the crackle metal copper (Cracked Medallion) over my top coat of my mani that I did yesterday and it worked great. I think doing them over top coats works better than over just polish.d1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07130843349447284448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102055449384724860.post-26100472401443708072011-07-25T17:34:16.404-04:002011-07-25T17:34:16.404-04:00What cool glitter!

I'...What cool glitter! Definitely different. :)<br />I've noticed that with the crackles (the creme ones at least) you have to wait for the base polish to dry completely (I usually add the crackle the day after I do my base mani, but obviously you don't have to wait that long, lol) and then put on a thin layer of the crackle polish. The thinner it is, the more it will crackle and show the polish underneath. <br />Hope that helps! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102055449384724860.post-39904165944390146152011-07-25T16:15:13.592-04:002011-07-25T16:15:13.592-04:00Aww, bummer about the crackle! :-(Aww, bummer about the crackle! :-(Kaitlyn Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05277242910513311810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102055449384724860.post-29506953964123008892011-07-25T14:11:32.172-04:002011-07-25T14:11:32.172-04:00I hate when crackle messes up a perfectly awesome ...I hate when crackle messes up a perfectly awesome mani!!!
