HOW TO APPLY CRACKING NAIL POLISH

So I received this cracking nail polish as a gift and I just love the effect. It shrinks as it dries giving it a cracking effect. So as it shrinks it appears as cracks revealing the base layer. It is just so beautiful and the secret to getting the cracking effect is to give it a light coat. Apply it just once because going over it will ruin the cracking effect.

As you can see from the back of the box, this nail polish comes in  many different colours just like regular nail polish. It has 12 different colours. This 3 pieces set contains a base layer which is a regular white nail polish , a cracking nail polish (colour 10) and a clear nail polish to give it shine.

Any regular nail polish can be used as the base layer. The base layer should not be a cracking nail polish. Just a regular nail polish.
You can use any colour as your base layer, it just has be a different shade from the cracking nail polish so that the cracking effect will be visible. So any two colours that contrast will do.
