  1. Too many crackles! I want something new, I don't need crackle in every color. :)

  2. Great roundup - thanks for this!!! It looks like the crackle 'craze' is becoming repetitive - even with the crackles available later this summer, it's all still the same colors already done before. I'm wondering if you're noticing a difference between brands, or are they all applying the same? I've only used the OPI black and silver shatters so far, and picked up China Glaze crackle in white, but still have to use it. Please let us know if you like one brand over another!

  3. riiighhtt... thanks nail polish companies - we get it: crackles are "IN". Now if we could only get them on the holographic or multichrome bandwagon with the same enthusiasm! :D

  4. I want the ChG metallics even though SH already has some. I am having a ton of fun with these. However, I'm trying not to get dupe colors.

  5. Crackleicious! :D I am overwhelmed by all the different crackles/shatters/fractures/textures too. Plus why all the different names? We call them crackles anyhow. :D

    I agree with Rikki and wish nail polish companies would make some awesome linear holos and multichromes again. It's about time.

    Thank you for your great roundup Sam!

  6. I'm SOOOO over crackle polishes. LOL I own ONE and I think that's one too many. And that one I have is horrible. I swear, I used it twice and the polish in the bottle is already so gloopy, it's unworkable. :( As much as I like the finish, it's just too much work.
