I am not a fan of crack of any kind. Crack is Whack. Whitney was right. When the trend came out I wanted to slit my wrists. I am currently holding my breath until it ends. The look reminds me of open wounds. I have seen attractive crack in pictures, but in real life it looks like an infested wound.
So, when my sister told me she wanted to try it, I one, gave her the death eye, and two, said "ugh, fine I'll get it for you."
After seeing a whole lot of crack in the last few months I at least knew which one I wanted to get her. I finally came to a decision after seeing this post on Addicted to Polish.
Okay, I know this is a gift, but I have to make sure it's "safe" right? If anything she should feel like royalty. I can be the equivalent of a royal food taster.
First a big thank you to Another Botttle of Polish?! for the base polish ...

Color Club - Give Me a Hint
2 coats
A dusty purple with taupe leanings. My pictures make it look more purple. It looks more taupe in the sun.
Now let's do some crack ...
Sorry for the crustiness! I was seriously just "tasting it".
La Rosa - Seaweed
1 coat on each finger, but I varied the thickness of the coat.
More crust!
Seriously no clean up, sorry.
Since this was my first time, I didn't know what to expect. My first few applications, pinky and ring fingers, got a thick coat, which cracked into thick pieces. The pointer got a pretty thin coat and you can see it cracked into finer pieces.
I hope this crack satisfies my sisters hunger for crusty infested looking fingers.
