So, this is my first true nude manicure, and I absolutely love it!

I was going to add some nail art to it, but I got tired last night and didn't get to it. I will though, to update this after I get bored of it in a couple days.

Base Coat - Sally Hansen XTreme Nails "White On" 2 coats

Top: KleanColor Crack Nail Polish "Green Crackle" 1 coat.

Clearcoat: Sally Hansen Hard As Nails with Nylon "Nude" 2 coats

I really like this crackle, it's much more subtle than OPI. However, it's application process is slightly different. You MUST put this on on top of slightly wet nail polish, and you MUST apply a top coat while it is still wet. It needs to mix with the other wet polishes to achieve the crackle effect. It's much better with two top coats because with just one the crackle falls apart and just peels off without even trying. Hence, the tip damage to the index and pinky nails because I originally put on one top coat only.
