Crazy over crack-ing polish

I am totally in love with the crack polish which I received from Mei Mei's Signatures... The 90s trend is making its comeback. The 'crack' top coat is a special top coat applied to your regular nail color that gives a cracking effect on the finish.


The crack might look complicated but it is pretty simple to create with a 'crack' polish... It works like normal lacquers, the only difference is that it will automatically crack on drying and create a design/pattern on the nails...


Achieving this crackled effect with just 3 steps...

Step 1 : Apply the base coat on the clean nails.

Step 2 : Apply your nail color as usual, allowing your nails to dry up while skipping the clear top coat.. Ensure that the nails are completely dry before applying the crack polish as to avoid the crack color penetrating the nail color.

Step 3 : Apply a thin coat of crack polish, and not to go over the same section more than once.


This crack polish has a matte black finish...


I applied a clear top coat for a long lasting glossy high shine look...



The 'Crack' Polish provides a 3D effect... The texture of the crack can be felt on the nail, therefore it is better to overlay a layer of clear top coat, it also helps to keep the color long lasting...

A BIG THANK YOU to Mei Mei's Signatures for inviting me to try out the TRIED and TESTED session...

Thanks for introducing COCOnCO from Korea which has helped me to achieve pleasant results from my beauty regime.   COCOnCO First Essence Toner  is a fermented facial essence, and it soothes wrinkles, tones, moisturizes and nourishes the skin, enhances blood circulation and metabolic processes at the cellular level, evens out complexion, brightens the skin, reduces the secretion of sebaceous glands and fights rashes. If you have pale, tired skin with sagging and fine lines, these can be miraculously transformed with regular use of the essence! It is suggested to be used as the first step in daily skin care. Apply it to cleansed skin first before applying the lotion, emulsion/serum and cream.  It is recommended for the product to be used twice a day - Once in the morning, and once in the evening.
