China Glaze Oxidized Aqua Crackle Glaze over CG White on White and Orly Orange Punch

Yesterday I showed swatches of China Glaze Oxidized Aqua over 22 colors, and wrote that I would do a mani today with the chosen color, see the swatches here. You can read what happened under each photo.

I går viste jeg swatches af China Glaze Oxidized Aqua over 22 farver, se dem HER, og jeg lovede at lave en manicure med den udvalgte farve. Du kan læse hvad der skete under hvert foto.

First one coat of OPI Nail Envy org. and one of China Glaze Ridge Filler. I chose China Glaze White on White, and applied two coats. Then to add a little sparkle China Glaze Shooting Stars. But it took ages to dry, and never really seemed to do so, I could still make dent marks, I never experienced anything like it. After an hour I applied China Glaze Oxidized Aqua. 

The weirdest thing happened; First of all it did not crackle very well, but even before adding the Seche Vite Top Coat, it shrinked, especially close to the cuticles, leaving a white edge, almost “Ruffian” style.

Først et lag OPI Nail Envy org. og et lag China Glaze Ridge Filler. Jeg valgte China Glaze White on White, to lag. Jeg lagde et lag China Glaze Shooting Stars for at få lidt ekstra glitter. Men det tog en uendelighed at få det tørt, faktisk tørrede det ikke rigtigt, det var muligt at lave mærker. Jeg har aldrig oplevet noget lignende. Men efter en times tid lagde jeg så China Glaze Oxidized Aqua på. 

Og så skete det mest mystiske; for det første krakelerede den ikke specielt godt, og den decideret krøb i størrelse, endda før jeg lagde Seche Vite Top Coat på. Den trak sig især værk fra neglebåndene, så jeg havde næsten et ”Ruffian look” med hvid kant foroven.

I decided to start all over with four fingers, and this time only one coat of CG Ridge Filler and one of CG White on White, and for the experiment I used Orly Orange Punch instead of the white on my ring finger. On the middle finger I applied a coat of Seche Vite, to see if that would affect the crackle effect.

AGAIN the CG White on White took ages to dry, this is really, really weird! I have used it before as a base for my “Tiger Nails”, but I did not have the CH Ridge Filler then, so I wonder if they together create this problem on my fingers?

But finally I added a coat of CG Oxidized Aqua, and the result was OK, at least better than “The shrinking experience”.

Jeg besluttede at starte forfra med de fire fingre, og denne gang lagde jeg kun et lag CG Ridgefiller og et lag CH White on White, og for eksperimentets skyld Orly Orange Punch på ringfingeren. På langefingeren lagde jeg ret hurtigt et lag Seche Vite for at se, hvordan krakeleringseffekten ville påvirkes af det.

Men CG White on White ville IGEN ikke rigtigt tørre, højst mærkværdigt. Jeg har brugt den før som base til mine ”Tiger negle”, men dengang havde jeg ikke CG Ridge Filler, så jeg spekulerer på om de to i forbindelse med hinanden og mine negle skaber dette problem?

Til slut lagde jeg CG Oxidized Aqua, og resultat blev da OK, i hvert fald bedre end ”den krybende oplevelse”.

Recently I did a similar set of swatches and a review on China Glaze Black Mesh CrackleGlaze, and the final result was this. So now I have decided to do the same with the four CG’ crackle polishes, that I have, and today it’s Oxidized Aqua. I thought I would like it, but when I got it, I was a bit disappointed, but let’s give it a fair try.

It’s easy to apply, but I see a very clear pattern: It crackles very well on the lighter/brighter colors and very poorly on the dark colors.

Tomorrow I’ll do a manicure with the chosen color/s, but what color do you prefer under China Glaze Oxidized Aqua?

For nylig lavede jeg en tilsvarende test med China Glaze BlackMesh Crackle Glaze, og jeg har besluttet lave en tilsvarende for de fire CG Crackle Glaze’s jeg har. Det endte med DETTE RESULTAT. I dag er det Oxidized Aqua. Da jeg modtog den blev jeg lidt skuffet, men lad os give den en fair chance.

Den er let at lægge på, men jeg ser et klart mønster, den krakelerer dårligere på de mørke farver end på de lyse.

I morgen vil jeg lægge den ovenpå den valgte farve, hvilke/n kan du bedst li’?

China Glaze Black Mesh Crackle Glaze over 4 colors/farver + glitter

Gasp, sorry about the many photos, but I am pretty happy about this result, restoring faith in my self after my terrible Halloween mani :) 

Ja, undskyld fotooverfloden, men jeg er ret glad for resultatet, der genopretter selvtilliden efter den skrækkelige Halloween manicure :)

Dansk, se længere nede.

Yesterday I showed swatches of China Glaze Black Mesh over 20 colors, and wrote that I would do a mani today with the chosen colors, see the swatches here.

I could not choose, so I ended up with doing a combo of China Glaze Senorita Bonita, Orly Glitz & Glamour, OPI Be a Dahlia Won’t You? and China Glaze Eyes Like Sapphires. After that I simply HAD to add a coat of China Glaze Shooting Stars. On top is of course China Glaze Black Mesh + Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.

Below you can see the photos of the steps before adding Black Mesh.

I går viste jeg swatches af China Glaze Black Mesh over 20forskellige farver, som forberedelse til i dag.

Men jeg kunne ikke vælge, så jeg endte op med at lave en kombination af China Glaze Senorita Bonita, Orly Glitz & Glamour, OPI Be a Dahlia Won’t You? og China Glaze Eyes Like Sapphires. Efter det var jeg simpelthen NØDT til at lægge et lag China Glaze Shooting Stars. Derefter naturligvis China Glaze Black Mesh + Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.

Her kan du se de to trin i manicuren inden jeg lagde Black Mesh på.

And finally ”The partners in crime” – og til sidst et billede af alle ”medskyldige”.
