See-Through Stripe Mani

I'm back with another instalment of the 2015 Crackle Polish Challenge. It was really nice to have a little break from crackle manicures, but I'm really looking forward to finishing the last 4 manicures in this series (that's 4 including today's).

It seems to be a big trend right now in the nail art community to include sections of clear polish in manicures.  So to finish off the Crackle Challenge, I've been thinking of ways to combine today's trend with crackle polish, a big trend from about 4 years ago.

I like how this manicure turned out.  I really like the minimalism.  It doesn't feel like a crackle mani, it feels more like a clear mani with a little embellishment.  I think this really updates the crackle look by toning it down.

Polishes Used: 
China Glaze 'Pinking out the Window' (Spring 2015 'Road Trip' Collection)
OPI 'Pink Shatter'
Quo by Orly 'Soft Spot'

Stay tuned for my next post, which will also feature a fusion of the clear polish trend of today, and the crackle polish trend of the recent past!
