Patchwork Shatter Manicure

I saw this manicure done on another blog a while back (which I can't remember the name of now, if you know please leave a comment and I will add a credit to the original one!).  It uses a selection of crackle polishes to create a sort of patchwork effect on the nails.

To create my version I used Kiko 372 as a base and then added Kiko Rock-top Shatter polish in 600, 605, 608 and 611 over the top to create the patchwork effect.

I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out, although it was definitely the sort of manicure which looks a little better from a distance rather than up close, like in these photos, where you can see all the joins and overlaps.

It's something I will probably try again in future because I do think it has potential to be a really cute manicure.  What do you think, is it something you would try?

Kiko 614 Silver Rock-top / Shatter Polish

Today I am showing you Kiko 614 which is one of their Rock-top (shatter) polishes.  For some reason this colour doesn't feature on the Kiko UK site.  I bought this polish in Spain so it could be that it's not available everywhere or it might just be a mistake on the UK site.

Anyway, I applied the polish over last week's double stamped manicure as I couldn't stand to take it off while it still looked ok and I figured covering it would make it easier to change completely.  I was right, mostly because I'm not too keen on how it turned out so I'm quite happy to take it off later.
