So, I haven’t had much success with Grey Crackle (I use CG’s Cracked Concrete). Their silver, I love, their black, I love, the purple and the pink, I likey and refuse to give up, but the grey … well it just seems to make everything dull.
I’ve tried it with light colours – just makes them look dull. I’ve tried it with dark colours – just makes them look dull. I’ve even tried it over bright colours – guess what? Made them look DULL.
Then I saw a wonderful post from Let Them Have Polish which I am unfortunately not clever enough to hyperlink. She had layered Cracked Concrete over 4 horizontal stripes of yellow, orange, pink and violet and it looked AMAZING. Suddenly it looked cool, shiny and subversive, so I had to try.
Having tried it against purple before and hated it, I opted to keep to the yellow-orange-red theme. 2 layers of each of the 4 stripes. 20 mins to dry. Thick and fast CG on top.
Voila – and I likey A LOT. Even so, it’s not as beautiful as it’s inspiration, and I can’t help but think it will look just as good with black, so I’m still undecided on whether to keep the grey.
My fave 3 fingers, because the cracks were so wiiiiiiiiide.
Let me know if you’ve done a fab mani with the grey J
