"When Petra posted readers&amp;#39; nail polish looks from test-driving OPI&amp;#39;s black &amp;quot;Shattered&amp;quot; polish, I immediately felt the need to show you guys just how doubly awesome candy-colored shatter could be from China Glaze:\nI first tested the gray-colored &amp;quot;Cracked Concrete&amp;quot; over my two favorite new Estee Lauder nail polishes coming out this spring (&amp;quot;Purple Passion&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Wild Blue&amp;quot;). What I especially liked about pairing the darker blue, is that the gray crackle was less obvious and perhaps more appropriate for the office (score!):\nPinterestFacebookI then went ahead and tried it with a light purple MAC nail polish with the darker purple &amp;quot;Fault Line&amp;quot; crackle.:\nPinterestFacebookLastly, I went all out with a super bright pink Sonia Kashuk polish in &amp;quot;Jammin&amp;quot; and China Glaze &amp;quot;Crushed Candy&amp;quot; over it. If you&amp;#39;re wondering about the &amp;quot;just-painting-the-thumb&amp;quot; thing, I thought it might be a good way for people to ease into the look, but still have that unexpected pop of color.\nPinterestFacebookSome helpful nail tips if you&amp;#39;re thinking about &amp;quot;Crackling!&amp;quot;:\nYou only have a mere seconds (and about 2-3 swipes) before the crackle polish starts working and hardens. So if you&amp;#39;re one of those people who needs to take their time perfecting each swipe, maybe grab a friend who has a super steady hand. But otherwise, I was totally LOVIN&amp;#39; the super fast dry time because I the waiting kills me!\nThe new coating of Crackle reactivates the nail polish base underneath, so sometimes it could make the nail look a little smeary and smudgy. I recommend using bright, bold, super pigmented base colors (like the ones I tested here) OR put a top coat on before you swipe a layer of Crackle.\nIt doesn&amp;#39;t work without a nail polish underneath, so grab your fave colors and experiment with which combos are best for you... I&amp;#39;m not a math genius, but I can say with confidence that the pairings with six pretty Crackle colors are endless.\nThe best part is, you don&amp;#39;t have to be perfect when glazing the Crackle polish over your nail--imperfections are what you&amp;#39;re going for! It&amp;#39;s $6.50 a pop at Sally Beauty Supply stores or you can score it over at Amazon.\nWhat do you think about the new colors? Begging for a different color to come out on the market? What kind of color combo would you try?\nWhile we&amp;#39;re at it, fun and funky nail art you&amp;#39;ll adore:\n\nBeyonce&amp;#39;s Spotted Nail Look\n\n\nRihanna&amp;#39;s Animal Print Nails\n\n\nAlexa Chung&amp;#39;s Heart Print Nails\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
