I layered this over SH Silver Lining, which I wore for a week first. When I took this photo, the mani underneath the crackle was a little over 7 days old. I wore it with crackle for about 3 more days. You can definitely se the nail growth!

Very pretty dusty rose color, with a touch of purple. I really enjoyed wearing this color this week. On Friday (several days after I took this photo), I topped it with SH Hidden Treasure and its really pretty when it flashes green. :D



Added Hidden Treasure over my mani, and I am loving it!

Dang my nails grow fast, look at that gap! This is about ten days of growth from first painting. o.o
If you compare this photo with the one taken of just Steady as She Rose, you can see a difference still - which is about five days. The SASR photo was shot around three days or so after mani.

The silver and white are for an experiment and were buy one get one half off, and the base coat was necessary for my current mani of the Grin and Berry It polish.

This is about day 6 of polish wear and you can see that I've had some tip wear here. I really love this flakie polish and with it being so hard to find now, I'm really glad I snagged it when I had the chance.

Sally Hansen Purple Pizzaz

A very fun jelly glitter! It was easy to apply, though the brush tends to hold a lot more than needed. So if you get this, watch for drips! Went on smooth, and I think this is about 3-4 coats.
