This was my first time using a crackle polish, it was mesmerizing to watch dry!

Edit: Thank you everyone for the positive feedback! I wasn't sure whether nail art was a fit for this community, but now maybe I'll post here more often!

Amazing! Just like another commentator I love the ghosts as well ๐Ÿฅฐ

Love the color combination!

What polishes did you use? And are the ghosts free painted or some kind of stamp/stencil?

[โ€“] _Anonymous_Aardvark_@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The polishes are all Holo Taco - Aquafoil Featured Guest Not Milky White Cracked Taco Shell

To get the gradient I layered Featured Guest over Aquafoil on my middle finger and over Not Milky White on my thumb

The ghosts I did freehand using dotting tools and stamping polish for the white parts. Ghosts are forgiving because any wiggliness can be passed off as intentional haha

Ooh, I have some of those! I love the crackle polish at the moment. I've got NMW, GITD and crackle on now.

I don't think I'm skilled enough for the ghosts but I might give it a go.
