* "Cracked"

Tips for Using Cracked Nail Polish:
* Base Coat: Always apply a base coat to protect your nails.
* Solid Color Underneath: Cracked nail polish is designed to create a contrasting effect, so apply a solid color nail polish as a base layer. Let it dry completely.
* Thin Layer: Apply a thin, even layer of the cracked nail polish over the base color.
* Watch it Crack: The cracking effect usually happens within seconds or minutes of application.
* Top Coat: Seal the design with a clear top coat to protect the polish and smooth the surface.
