Crackle Polish & Britney Spears for V Magazine

Britney Spears for V Magazine

It's Britney, b...

Gone are the days of shaved heads and dropped babies. It seems Britney Spears is truly making a comeback, with her new songs and new photo shoots. This is actually a great time for Brit Brit to once again find the limelight as Christina Aguilera is going into rehab and Lady Gaga is losing some of her "gaga" with fans.

This is honestly the first time I've written about Ms. Spears on my site. I know because I've checked, and checked again.

But I'm glad that it's taken me so long to write about her because I feel like it was well worth the wait. I actually really like this editorial for V Magazine. What do you think?

Nails of the Day

On to the next...the first nail polish here is called Black Mesh by China Glaze. It's a dupe of the super popular Black Shatter by OPI. The thing is, since shatter is sold out everywhere, I think Black Mesh is a great replacement. It works just as well and looks just as good.

To Apply:

-- Put on two coats of the base color. Here I used a silver color by Love & Beauty for F21.
-- Let the base color completely dry (10 minutes) so it doesn't interfere with the crackle
-- Apply the black mesh with a thick, full coat

The mesh will look streaky if you apply it on too thinly. Apply it the same way you would if it were regular nail polish. It starts to crackle instantly. After 3-5 minutes it should be completely crackled.

This was my second time working with crackle polishes, but I think I'm getting the hang of it now. The great thing about the China Glaze crackles is that they come in a variety of colors like Crushed Candy.

This is actually the color I was wearing around Valentine's Day (of course). I just forgot to post it so here it is. I don't wear a lot of red polish, but I really like this one as it's very bold.
