Manicure Monday: Miss Claire Galore!

Since you already know how much I've been bitching about how much work I've been swamped in, I'm not going to go there again. But due to lack of time I have had the most hideous nails ever! And I didn't want to keep them that way... So, what's the best way to have nail art on the go? Crackle polish of course. :)

One of my favourite crackles is Miss Claire. I hunted through Mumbai for a cheap crackle polish and after encountering prices like 400-500 INR, I was giving up hope, till I found Miss Claire crackle polish at Beauty Center, Khar! Only 150!! *joyful spazzing*
The pink is a normal polish I used for the mani.

This crackle is really good, and it comes in a variety of colours! But since I had already ordered a couple of coloured ones from beautyjoint.com, I decided to go for black.

At first, I applied it and I was a bit disappointed because even with top coat it looked very gray. :( But soon I realised it was because I was using a quick dry top coat, with a normal top coat I found it was the blackest black. And we lived happily ever after!

Pros:

  • Good quantity
  • Great price
  • Doesn't get chunky over time *cough OPI cough*


Cons:

  • Stays grey when used with quick dry top coat.


The pink I've used under the crackle is also a Miss Claire colour, same price and officially my favourite pink! It's slightly neon and chips only after 4 days, miraculous for someone like me! I've also used it in this cute manicure. ^u^

I also want to say thank you! I have 50 followers now! YAY! Even though I've been such a flake with my posting! I love you guys! ♥ *thinking of doing a giveaway soon*
