China Glaze: Crackle Glitters Review & Swatches

Happy Sunday, everyone! 

Today, I have the 4 new additions to the China Glaze Crackle Family. 
Let's get crackin', LOL ;)

Los Angeles, CA – (March 2012):  Sparkle all summer long with China Glaze®’s new Crackle Glitters collection.  Once again taking crackle technology to the next level, this third-generation polish pairs the edgy innovation of crackling nail lacquer with glamorous glitters. 


Jade-d, Gleam Me Up, Luminous Lavender, Glam-More


All swatches are 2 coats of CG Liquid Leather + 1 coat of crackle.
Jade-d 
A yellow, lime green crackle in a clear base. This one's a bit deceiving. In the bottle it's obviously a lime green, but on the nail it looks more yellow gold?! Oh well, regardless, this has made my top picks.

Gleam Me Up
An aqua glitter in a clear base. This was my favorite from the collection.

Luminous Lavender
A soft, lilac glitter in a clear base. I think this was too delicate of a crackle for my taste. This was my least favorite from the collection.

Glam-More
A bold, bright, fuchsia glitter in a clear base.

Jade-d & Gleam Me Up
-Smooth formula
-Average dry time
-Cracked immediately
-Super easy to work with
-Insanely gorgeous with top coat
-I know the crackle/shatter trend has been seen over and over, but I love how they've now incoporated glitter
-Anything with glitter, pretty much draws me in ;)

-Luminous Lavender was too light for my liking
-Needs top coat to smooth the glitter out and add shine
-If you're pretty much cracked out, you may not like these

The China Glaze® Crackle Glitters collection will be available as open stock colors and four-piece counter display.  Individual polishes retail for $9 MSRP and will be available at fine salons and beauty supply stores nationwide in May 2012.

  9. I'm disappointed I have to admit )=
    I only like the purple and the blue was beautiful on the bottle but on nails it's not impressive at all )=

  10. I still like crackles, though I wish these were half creme/half glitter so that the effect showed up better than just glitter.... or more of a super dense glitter so they weren't so sheer. Can't wait to try the OPI Spiderman shatter :D
