Is Crackle Nail Polish All It's Cracked Up To Be?

I must admit, I am not the best when it comes to painting my nails.  Like most things in life...practice makes perfect.  I do try and keep my nails polished and looking nice.  I also try and teach the same to my 7, soon to be 8 *happy sigh* daughter.

Growing up I was horrible for biting my nails.  I think I did it more as a nervous habit than anything.  Finally as I reached my early 20's I got tired of the fake nails, the picked at look and I finally decided it was time to stop.  It's a little funny (perhaps a punishment of some sort), but one biting their nails is a HUGE pet peeve of mine.  Ironic, isn't it?

I have talked about Avon's new Mosaic Nail Wear Polish in a previous post.  I spoke a little about the history of cracked nail polish, why it is so popular and shared some pretty awesome savings Avon has for YOU.  You can read more about that HERE.

This time around I can share MY thoughts, MY feelings and exactly what I think of the NEW Mosaic Effects and Nailwear Pro Nail Enamel from Avon.  I bought (1) Mosaic Effects (613-537) and (1) Nailwear Pro Color (944-893) Lagoon.

I loved the color of the soft blue in the Lagoon.  I honestly wasn't sure if I would like it, but I was quickly proven wrong.  Here is how my nails turned out.

How to Get the Perfect Cracked Nail Finish Using Avon's Mosaic Effect Top Coat:

1. Be sure your nails are clean.
2. Paint your favorite color 1 or 2 coats and let dry completely.Tip:  I always use Avon's Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel for my daughter.  It literally take 30 seconds to dry. LOVE IT!!  All of Avon's Speed Dry+ is on sale for $2.99 and they have dome fabulous new colors!  
3. Add one coat of Avon's Mosaic Effect and within seconds the crackle effect will occur and nails will instantly dry.

It is truly that simple.  I have done my fingernails plus my daughters and I was very pleased with the results.  I loved how you don't have to run out and buy several new colors.  You can use your own colors.  Avon's Mosaic Effects will work on any nail color, but I recommend using either Avon's Nailwear Pro Nail enamel for the best look every time or Avon's Speed Dry+  for that person that doesn't have time to waste.  The crackled finish is all in Avon's NEW Mosaic Effect Top Coat.  On sale Now for just $3.99 each.

Fall's Hottest Tip ~ Crackle Nail Polish

Crackle nail polish has been around for some time now. In fact it was made a massive hit during the late 90s.  It is now back and everyone, you either love it or hate it.  I personally think it is pretty cool.  At least it is something I am willing to try.  I have had several friends already buy it through Avon and they LOVE it!  


One of the reasons why crackle nail polish is so popular is that it provides women and young girls with more interesting, fun and exciting looking nails.  With the rich colors and the durability of these nail polishes, there is no wonder why there are a lot of people who turn to crackle nail polish to decorate their nails with.  With the shattered effect you can watch it break into a dazzling design!


Avon's Mosiac Effects actually helps your polish last longer. The texture of the Mosiac Effects will keep your nails looking fashion forward for an entire week.  The best thing is you can place Avon's Mosaic Effects over all your favorite colors.  No need to run out and buy several new colors or polish.  

Here is an example of Avon's Mosaic Effects being used by a good friend of mine.  First you use your base coat under the crackle finish.  She is wearing Avon's Tangtastic (944-970).  


Second add Avon's Mosaic Effects (631-537) and watch the magic happen.  


Trendy Tip:  Use your 3 favorite shades as a base under crackle finish and watch it create a unique lacy design instantly!  


Avon's Crackle Polish is On Sale during Campaign 21 for ANY 2 for $6.99.  Time to stock up and make a fashion statement this Fall.  You can contact me directly or Shop My Online Store.  


Here is a review from a customer from my online store.  Her age ranges form 35-44 and she bought Avon's Crackle Polish within the last 2 weeks.  


"This stuff is AWESOME!! I have tried other crackle polishes and this works THE BEST of any other brand I've tried. It applies easily, crackles GREAT, and stays on! The price is also wonderful compared to others that are being sold. Give it a try...you won't be sorry!"

I simply could not post about Avon's amazing Speed Dry polish without sharing with you my daughters beautiful color. For Christmas she got two bottles of Avon's Speed Dry. Mambo Melon(422-311) and Strawberry(422-379)


In the picture she is wearing Mambo Melon. Sorry, the picture didn't come out the best. I love, love, love how quick this nail polish dries. Normally my husband paints her nails and she has to sit and wait at least 10 minutes. Hubby gets it on a little think sometimes. :) Not tonight, she literally sat for 1 minute. Great for kids and adults!!! Fun colors too! :)
