If you're a fan of the nail art trend prepare to get very excited.
Having picked up in 2010, the fashion for creative, kooky and even crazy nail design shows no sign of fading. In response to this Models Own (a go-to brand for designer polish dupes)and nail art queens WAH Nails are bringing out a line of 9 crackle polishes in a rainbow of colours.
The innovative formula means that when spread in a single layer over normal polish, the paint 'splits', creating a crackly, broken design. Dependant on your colour choice this could look neon bright, work sophisticated or even animal print vampy.
I fell in love with Barry M's black version last year (see my efforts, right, layered over GOSH gold polish to get a 'leopard-y' effect), prior to which my only attempts at 'fancy nails' were writing on my toes with nail art pens (these are my sister's little piggies- sorry Dot!).
Not so effective and definitely not fashion-friendly. No matter how 'awesome' your toes...Using 'Smash Up'polishes couldn't be easier. Paint your nails with your chosen base colour ( two coats are best IMO)and allow to dry completely. Now just sweep a thin layer of crackle varnish over the top.
If you fancy getting more creative try painting three vertical stripes in different (but compatible) shades for your base before applying 'smash up' in a contrast colour over the top to get a cool neon 'rainbow' effect.
Released on April 20th in Boots stores, I can't wait to get my hands on the turquoise, yellow and orange for fun, summer-bright talons. And at just £6 each, they'll liven up your old polishes without breaking the bank.
