This 'Crackle Sandwich' was created by sandwiching a staircase shaped application of 'Antiqued Gold' in between 2 layers of 'Frida'. The ring finger accent nail was done with a base coat of 'Mermaid's Tale' stamped with the scribble image from Konad M70, using 'Liquid Gold'.

I really love this manicure! So far, based on the results of this challenge, I'm pretty sold on the idea of keeping all of my metallic crackle polishes handy for nail art.  I've been especially impressed with both of the gold crackles that I've used, this one, and the Nicole by OPI shatter from this post.

I think this sandwich technique really updates the crackle look by toning it down a bit, but still letting the texture shine through.This is something that I can definitely see myself trying again!
