Crackle Polish & Britney Spears for V Magazine


Britney Spears for V Magazine


BritneySpears2It'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.

britneypostqueryBut 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.

  1. She looks really amazing in those photos...it seems like she's really cleaned herself up a lot in the last few years. Good for her.

  4. Even though I never was a fan of Britney (simply not my kind of music) I'm happy that she's back & looks great! I always felt sorry when I saw pictures of her with her shaved head, etc.

    The crackle looks awesome on you (I'm wearing black crackle today as well :-D), also love the red on your hands :-)

    BTW, Too bad our shoe sizes vary :-( ;-)

  12. Is Brit Brit back?! I used to be the biggest Britney fan EVER (not joking) but then in 2003, when she started her trainwreck, I started slipping away from her. Now, she's like a ghost to me. But after seeing these photos and hearing her new music, I'm beginning to fall in love again. These photos are GORGEOUS and so remind me of the old Britney I used to love. :)

  13. Oooh and forgot to mention that you have completely inspired me to try the crackled look! I definitely need to purchase that black polish asap!!

  14. Britney looks really good! I'm not really into her new single, but I'm happy for her. And lol, Gaga has lost a lot of her appeal to me with Born This Way (and ... other things she's been doing).

    I love your nails! That's one of the best crackle combos I've seen so far :D

  19. I've been interested in buying some new nail polish colors. I haven't bought nail polish in years....how long is nail polish suppose to last? Does it have a self life? Anyways, I don't like the colors I do have. I like the crackle effect! It's very neat.

  20. I am starting to love Crackle nail polish! The next time I go shopping I'm going to try and find that brand. :)

    I absolutely love this post! Even though Britney Spears has had a bad history she really seems to be doing a good job focusing on her work and "coming back."

  29. Love those crackle nails. They look awesome. I am still not sold on B. Spears on the cover of a fashion mag but the editorial editors did her a lot of favors in these photos and she does look great.

  30. I happen to love Britney.Usually she looks trashy, but I happen to love these pictures of her.

  31. You know what. I have never been a BS fan...but am so happy that she is redeeming herself. I hope she gets it right this time. She will be sending out a message that no matter how badly you fall, you can get up and go. She look so fabulous and radiant in the pictures. I hope it's her and not just photoshop.
