Nail Polish

Another quite significant advantage to buying nail polish online lies in the selection available. Even though nail polish bottles don't take up much shelf space at the drug store, they can only stock so much! The true nail polish enthusiast is always looking for that shade and glimmer the store doesn't happen to carry when you're shopping. Happily, when you buy nail polish online, you can get very fussy about that particular shade - and find exactly what you want.

If you're looking to match a certain garment to your nail polish, it's far easier when you're sitting at your desk with that dress hanging up beside you.

Then, there are the so-called 'designer' nail polish manufacturers, which you're unlikely to find at the drugstore. Not the case when you buy online. Not only can you find these products, but sometimes to be had at significant discounts, with perhaps a freebie associated product tossed in to the deal.

You can also sign up for emails from a manufacturer which will alert you to special savings and new products, so you'll always be at the top of your form. Your friends will be admiring your freshly painted nails, and asking where you found this trendy nail polish. Which puts you in a perfect position to do a little early gift shopping, sharing your nail-ista with your friends.

There's no question that if you have a thing for nail polish, you'll be on the cutting edge when you buy nail polish online! You go, girl!

It seems that nail art designs are expanding their limits and nowadays there is literally nothing you can't do when it comes to nail art. One of the latest trends that gains popularity is crackle nail art trend. This technique uses a special shattering nail polish that gives a crackled/shattered/marbled effect. Katy Perry also teamed up with O.P.I to create her own nail varnish collection and it too features a shattering black coat for a one of a kind manicure look. Red, green, turquoise, white, pink, yellow are only a few base colors you can use to make the crackles stand out and attract attention.
Step 1: Start with clean nails and apply your base coat.
Step 2: Apply your nail color as usual. Depending on the colors your use, you can get away with using a single coat as long as it's even. While skipping the top coat, allow your nails to completely dry so the crack polish doesn't penetrate to the nail color and dissolve it. Your manicure will be splotchy if you skip this important step.
Step 3: Apply a thin coat of crack polish, making sure not to go over the same section more than once.
Step 4: Depending on the brand of crack polish you use, this step is optional. OPI "Black Shatter" has a matte black finish so you can leave it matte or apply a topcoat for a high gloss finish.

Of course for your nails to look their best, they need to be in great condition BEFORE you apply nail polish!
