Sinful Colors Midnight Blue w/ dots

Remember this mani? Well since that one turned out way better than expected, I wanted to try another color combo with a matte top coat. For my current mani, I am wearing Sinful Colors Midnight Blue with China Glaze Millennium from their Khrome collection for the dots. Midnight Blue has been with me way before I started collecting nail polishes, & it's almost running out! Then I topped the mani off with Essie Matte About You & that made the mani 100x better IMO. Ah, I also need to keep practicing on dotting my dots =P

Crack Over Crack

I'm still trying to get used to the point & shoot camera the SO got me for our anniversary. He wants to make photo taking of my nails easier & faster. I think I'll be using both this & my DSLR.

This is what the overall mani looks like. I love it!

Crack over crack!

This mani started off with China Glaze Electric Pineapple from their recent Island Escape Collection. This was a collection that I was actually excited for, I love bright colors! Hehe, & I love how the name of the polish has pineapple in it, yum :) Electric Pineapple was very difficult to capture the color on camera IMO because it would come out as either too yellow or too green. It's a yellow cream with a hint of green to it.

I had to do something to this plain mani, so crack it was! I used La Rosa 08 Blue over Electric Pineapple, & fell in love with the color combo! Matches my trash can, lol. The SO also said this combo reminded him of a hat that has a crack like designs on it.

& Lastly, I was wondering how crack from this brand would look over any set of crack. I layered La Rosa 17 Lincoln Park After Dark (Recognize this name somewhere else, lol) & the combo was so pretty! Looks way better than my attempt to layer China Glaze Crackle over one another. As seen in this post.
