Crackle Nail Polish Glass Stones

[@CraftKlatch]

I really like the way that one turned out too!

[@miss55704]

when I get off work im going to the craft or $1 store. I am making some immediately!! I absolutely love love love love love love this tutorial..thx a million

[@CraftKlatch]

I found the glass stones at the craft store. I think both Michaels and Hobby Lobby have them. You can find them on Amazon. Also, I sometimes find them at the dollar store. I would check there first, if you have any around you.

[@CraftKlatch]

Yay! I'm glad you are here!

[@Jo734]

this is amazing! i can't wait to try it. i have been searching for the perfect "craft" gift for a friend of mine, and i know she will love this. Thank you for posting this!!!

[@donnatolle242]

They make crackle nail polish? Who knew? Such lovely baubles. TFS!

[@CraftKlatch]

It could be. I'm not sure which color that was. I don't seem to have it anymore! Thanks for watching Christy V! Mona

[@CraftKlatch]

Thanks Monica.

[@taylor_doherty_]

the purple with glitter looks kinda like galaxy!! this looks really fun to do and use some old polish that I have going to have to try it out!!

[@CraftKlatch]

Thanks Taylor! I think you should try it, you'll love it!

[@CraftKlatch]

For the crackle to work, you have to work backwards. You have to put a clear topcoat on, or it won't crackle. The steps are, 1. Clear topcoat. Let it dry. 2. Crackle coat. Let it dry. 3. Whatever color you want showing through. Let it dry. 4. Clear topcoat. Let it dry. I usually have all my crafts on my blog as well and you can see the steps there too. I have the link on my channel page if you are interested. Thanks for watching. Mona

[@leonabeers5437]

Thank you. I didn't really understand either.

[@CraftKlatch]

Hi Devynn- It sounds like the perfect craft for you!! Thanks for watching! Mona

[@MsCerise007]

Those turned out really pretty

[@DruidTwilight]

This is very interesting. I've never seen this type of craft before...Thanks for posting

[@CraftKlatch]

Good idea!

[@CraftKlatch]

I purchased them at the craft store, but I have seen them at the dollar store too. It's usually by the floral stuff. Otherwise, go on Amazon and look up jumbo glass gems. Thanks for watching.

[@Omg_imsoawesome]

Love the black and yellow one. 😊

[@CraftKlatch]

The Ultimate Variety Channel™ I'm glad you like it!

[@CraftKlatch]

Thank you!

[@pparisihanuman]

Very Cool! I love the glitter/purple stone. Thanks for sharing

[@kyliechan14]

I love the stone crafts you do they are so creative. How did you come up with it?

[@CraftKlatch]

Thank you and I have gotten the glass stones at the craft stores, sometimes Jo Anns has them, or sometimes I'm lucky enough to get them at the dollar store! If you search Amazon for glass stones, they should come up. Thanks for watching!

[@CraftKlatch]

Yes. Let the topcoat dry completely, then put on the crackle. Thanks for watching.

[@mightycatcreations1968]

Great tutorial CraftKlatch, was watching this at 2am and I have glass circle cabs and took them out and my nail polish collection and did these as I was watching this video this is an amazing project love it.

[@CraftKlatch]

Thanks so much.

[@CraftKlatch]

How did it turn out?

[@CraftKlatch]

Fun. How did they turn out? Mona

[@zizzolizzo]

Loving it!! YOu are awesome. Your vids rock. Plus your commentary isnt boring and your tips are worthwhile. Thanks!

[@CraftKlatch]

Yay! Thanks for watching!

[@TheThreadLady]

I didn't know you had to put the clear top coat on first. I guess I got the wrong directions because I read them again and it never mentioned that. No wonder mine never turned out right. Thank you for your great videos. I love what you do and am usually working with fabric, but I love jewelry (especially watches) and was looking for a way to make an unusual watch band. I will show you one when I get it done. I am in Arizona now, not at my studio at home, so it will be another month by then.

[@Ruthietwo]

Very pretty. How big are the stones? I can only find some that are about a half inch wide and I'd like larger for pendants..

[@ravenwood5215]

hot glue a magnet on the back. use on your fridge for the kids artwork. fun project to do with kids on rainy/ snowy days!! makes great Christmas gifts.

[@antoniaperez4782]

Great idea, I was thinking about how pretty this is, and then said: beautiful, but what to do with them. Thanks

[@1234circle]

thank you, went out and bought some crackle nail polish and they turned out great!

[@patpalker1421]

1234circle where did u find the crackle nail polish. I can't find it anywhere

[@CraftKlatch]

Yay! Welcome and thank you for subbing!

[@lvmykdzz]

It's so addicting huh? I love all of your colors.

[@TattooedAussieChick]

Pretty. What do you use them for?

[@devynnwith2ns]

I wish I had some of these stones on hand! I have over 100 different nail polishes (I tend to over collect) and I'd LOVE to try this!

[@elainewhite9361]

I love these they are so cute.

[@charlotteramsey6680]

i really like the purple sparkley one it looks like the galxcy desine

[@CraftKlatch]

Thank you so much!

[@michellemanske6962]

I'm not sure if you can get crackle nail polish at the Dollar Store but they do have an assortment of colors and clear glitter ones.

[@FlowerGemsGirl]

This is so cool!!! I was wondering if you have ever tried the Crackle Accents medium by Ranger or the Crackle Medium sold by Plaid in the craft paint area? I would love to see if those work better or not with this idea!!

[@CraftKlatch]

Thanks Michelle. You can use them for all kinds of things. You can add a jewelry bail and make a pendant for a necklace. You can attach it to a ring blank and have a ring that matches your nail polish. You can make a bunch and have them in a bowl for decorations. You can make a bunch and mosaic something, like a frame. Let your imagination run wild! Thanks for watching! Mona

[@NaNana-ey6jk]

Where are the cracked paints sold? Beautiful!

[@CraftKlatch]

You can glue a ring blank that you buy at the craft story on the back. You can glue a magnet to the back. A lot of people like to have them laying around for decorative purposes. You can certainly put them in a coaster. I have done one in the past. It all up to your imagination. Thanks for watching!

[@doloresungerleider4984]

So easy and pretty.. Will definitely give it a try. Thank you.

[@CraftKlatch]

+Dolores Ungerleider Thanks Dolores. I'm glad you like them.

[@tresamcbride1426]

This is awesome. I can't wait to do this. I have some glass cabs just waiting in the art room!!!

[@CraftKlatch]

You bet!

[@CottageontheCorner]

I love this idea, but I am wondering if you glue the polished side of the stone to a ring blank (even the E6000), do you have any problem with it coming off of the ring? Wouldn't the polish peel off and not let the ring stick? Thanks

[@MrsKeyfee]

That was beautiful!

[@CraftKlatch]

I used the Sally Hansen crackle polish. Thanks for watching! Mona

[@CraftKlatch]

I have not tried attaching these to rings yet. I did attach one of the other ones in a different video to ring and gave it to my niece. Thanks for watching!

[@deborahmcmasters1694]

Very cool I am going have to try this.

[@Isbella41]

I like this idea but were do u get the glass stones from?

[@crmcrm9623]

Love your vids. Wish you had more.😊

[@CraftKlatch]

Thank you! Over a thousand and more coming next year!

[@funkittensarefun]

They look amazing! Have you tried attaching them to make rings?

[@CraftKlatch]

Thank you so much! I always try to get back to anyone with questions, but sometimes I don't get to it as quickly as I'd like. Thanks again for watching!

[@Rosie83844]

Hi Mona , I just love your tutorials , I would love to use these in the coaster molds also. But do you need to seal the last coat with something , and do you think resin would work. Thanks in advance . Rosie.

[@CraftKlatch]

Rosie Donnelly Hi Rosie- I have used them in the coaster molds. They work just fine!

[@TruthSeekingElf]

Did you put the glitter on after the crackle when it dried? So do you only put the nail polish on one side? Sorry it's a little confusing. Or do you put the glitter on one side and the crackle on the other? You didn't mention this bit.

[@mastersdecoy]

Carla libbey yes u can it would actually work great!

[@ArreisMorsCI]

Have you created any necklaces and bracelets where you wrap wire around your beautiful stones? can you make a tutorial for this?

[@whitpuff]

can you please tell me what brand of crackle polish you used? thanks

[@asauve76]

do you have to wait for the top coat to dry?

[@CraftKlatch]

You are welcome. I hope your friend likes it! Thank you for watching! Mona

[@nytflyt7]

THESE TOO would make awesome cement coaster holders, right? again, what do I paint to protect the back with the crackle effect???? You've REALLY "STRUCK GOLD" with the coaster idea Mona!!!! luv ya, lynda

[@CraftKlatch]

Bailey - I wish I knew! I just looked and don't have it anymore! Sorry!

[@azzaessam398]

I love it Mona

[@tbacon2784]

Looks them, that's my next year's Christmas gifts to my friends!

[@CraftKlatch]

T Bacon You can get started now! :)

[@MSPfeaneaka]

I got mine at walmart, they're like these but smaller and they're kind of more circular. i love your ideas, if only i had crackle nail polish :(

[@Mysheepbrains]

Really cool idea!!!

[@12EverlastingFriends]

Awesome I am totally gonna make these

[@shellssecretstash4340]

have you tried magnetic nail polish or nail polish and mica powders or lose eye shadow and nail polish

[@jeannepaulson7046]

Can you use sharpie markers for making designs on the back of stones instead of fingernail polish

[@fashion4apassion]

You could do crackle and then water marble it!!! That would look, cool I think!

[@karenkayser6248]

Great idea

[@CraftKlatch]

Thank you, Karen!

[@marianela111]

Love the results you achieved :). What type of glue would you suggest to stick these to either a ring blank or a pendant blank there is so much to chose out there. Thank you look forward to your next project.

[@CraftKlatch]

+MANUELA MACHADO Thank you Manuela. I like to use The Ultimate glue.

[@catlady709]

What size are the gems?

[@phyllisbroome299]

Where do you buy the "crackle" Polish ?

[@bellapuchi6567]

Where did you get the crackle ?

[@lncarnold]

do you think using glue instead of crackle polish would work? I have seen others use it to cause the cracks.

[@brenda-bt6pf]

Does it have to be black polish?

[@msslimnsexy]

Could the ordinary nail polish be used?

[@baileyj1066]

What is the name of the purple polish?

[@nailjinx7264]

WOW THAT IS SO COOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I I am so using this for my bead work!!!!! :D Thank you so uch for your creativity

[@junesewage]

Where u get the glass stone?

[@lindabray-cantrell254]

You use crackle polish on this? Where did you get it?

[@debrasmith6034]

Just found you and subscribed I love this idea. I watched ,and ran out to buy nail crackle😩...couldnt find any in my town 😢so there is a Sally Hansen store in Brantford. Thanks so much for sharing this. Debbie ,from Ontario Canada...cheers

[@carlalibbey7424]

[@danielaibarra8256]

[@Grahame6332]

[@MiaIRL]

Hi,what brand is the purple nail polish in the video??? :)

[@CraftKlatch]

+Anna Noémi Csaplár I can't remember Anna. I usually buy really cheap nail polish at Walmart for these projects.

[@MiaIRL]

+CraftKlatch could you write down the brand and name of the nail warnish? please. Maybe like that easier to find it. :) thx

[@CraftKlatch]

Thank you for watching. They vary, as no two are alike. They seem to vary from about one inch to one and a quarter inches. Try dollar stores or craft stores, usually by the floral department. Otherwise, try Amazon. Good luck and let me know if there are any other questions I can answer for you. Mona

[@fred6059]

The yellow is my favorite

[@marimurby3701]

Love this!

[@GospelTruth37059]

what kind of paint is this that crackles?

[@CraftKlatch]

Pastor Cameron It was actually nail polish.

[@GospelTruth37059]
