Wear crackle nails or nah? (return of the 2000s trend)

[@lokemikaze]

i love how with every launch, cristine has to clarify "don't eat the nail polish", "don't lick the crackle", "don't drink the nail oil" 😂 gotta love the chaos chat

[@NokoFace]

To be fair it's also there unironically. There's a reason why cleaning chemicals have "Do Not Ingest" and TV dinners have "Caution! Will be hot!" on them.

[@Angelwitch99]

The cracked taco shell over the neon jellies kind of gives Lisa Frank to me. I love it

[@harleyramos9529]

Literally my dream every day nails 🙌🏼

[@SnakeEnthusiast]

See, in my head it was giving 2012 Justice clothes

[@keotia]

I don't like crackle...but i gotta respect the craft 🖤🖤

[@jungtothehuimang]

I liked it over the one coat black, but it's not really my thing either personally. But I can see how people could come up with cool ideas with it.

[@caligulard]

As someone who was a teen in the aughts, I somehow missed the crackle trend all the times it was around so I am enjoying this revival. It's silly but I think it's fun!

[@GCAT01Living]

Cracked over multichrome is EVERYTHING. Damn, that looks so good! Also, as someone who had quite a few Lisa Frank folders/binders the cracked over the Retro collection is amazing!

[@SundiMyint]

I did a green to black gradient (Green Screen ➡️ OCB) and did crackle on top and it was sooo subtle but soooo spooky I loved it

[@artiefofartie]

The neon jelly Lisa Frank nails also reminded me of two things: the fuzzy felt coloring pages that are black and you color the blank areas, or those scratch off art that are black on top and you scratch off. I know you did the scratch off nails. Wanna try flocked coloring page nails? lol

[@AdennFox]

Evan and Katelyn did flocked nails, I think. And a flocked keyboard at one point!

[@naggiemaggie]

I got mine in the mail today! Put cracked on over Spirit Fingers that I already had on. So cool! All you see through the cracks is the color of the shimmer. Love it!

[@KSUTAU]

I can't believe you actually made a crackle polish that made me like AND WANT crackle polish. I haven't liked it since 2004, because they've just never cracked nice but yours looks insane and i need it!!

[@si_nail_vibes]

I love the crackle over gradients! It's like rainbow lava peeking through😍

[@FatimaGarcia-rz6cl]

I just got my "Rest in Pieces" bundle today, and I was painting my nails while watching this. I am excited to try these color combos too 👀💅🤗

[@Dekae]

I want more colors in crackle.. and then I might say yes. Black is just weird to me even though its the most common! I want it to be backwards to the current state. The black on top looks too much to me, while what ever is underneath should be the black part.

[@AlexaFaie]

I had it in black, silver, gold (both metallic) & white. Then later was gifted a sparkly glitter green one which didn't work well as the glitter was too patchy. The white was awful looked like nail fungus! But the silver & gold were great! Need to try some nail polish thinner in the gold one. I just remembered where it might have been hiding & found it! I managed to rejuvenate my black one from like 2006 so should be able to get the gold working again too. Its times like these hoarding pays off. It was £3.99 per 11ml bottle well spent if they can still work nearly 20 yrs later!

[@angelapotter8084]

I always liked the crackle to be white when I was a teen.

[@giantschick21]

I would buy it in blue or white or gold for sure

[@Soesii]

I'd like a brown to wear on top of another brown and then it'll look like some kind of animal print

[@discord37]

I absolutely love crackle and I don't care what's in style or not I wear what I like. I still have some old crackle but I will buy a new one next time I make a HT order. I have black and silver from the olden times. A few years ago I started doing swatch sticks and learned that it doesn't work by itself over the plastic which I found interesting.

[@AlexaFaie]

I have mine from the early days. Managed to revive it with nail polish thinner & it works better than it ever did now which is cool. Not bad for £3.99 for an 11ml bottle nearly 20 years ago lol.

[@DivinityFallen]

I haven’t watched your videos in ages and I missed you Cristine

[@bluefroggy99]

I ordered the crackle with the birthday polishes. I can’t wait to get it!

[@AngelaSmith_1970]

I was late to the first crackle nail polish trend 💅🏽 grateful Cristine brought it back for those of us who apparently live under a rock 🪨 😂 I was doing my nails when that trend was happening, it didn’t appeal to me at the time, but now 😎🙌🏽🥰

[@Call-me-Al]

I have been so happy crackle nails are popular again with nail brands! My only regret is that i didn't buy more colored crackle polishes this summer. But now the black ones are here, and they are the best ones.

[@oyoysta]

begging you to try the ombre french again but with your magnetic birthday polishes😭😭😭 im actually obsessed

[@erikawalters5167]

Can we get a crackle collection?!?!?!

[@yamiari7351]

Omg i rediscover your channel after Years! I forget how much i missed you!😍

[@tiffanyd_rcd]

I love crackle, it was one of my favorite nail trends and I'm happy its making a comeback.😁

[@radgamerrach]

I currently have cracked taco shell over circuit breaker and I love it! 🖤

[@purpleberrie9758]

One coat black + glow in the dark taco + crackle? subtle at day chaotic at night.

[@brizzleyoh]

The glow in the dark taco is so strong if you charge it enough it’ll glow even when it’s not in the dark lol

[@CaptNikolia]

I literally painted it on my nails late at night and there was a glow when I went to bed!! Insane!!

[@harusaurus]

@@CaptNikolia i got up in the middle of the night while wearing it and just 30 seconds in the bathroom light charged it so much i could literally see it through the sheets lol

[@hongandy]

Cracked nails for halloween are great

[@jungtothehuimang]

Hello fellow army!

[@bandtasticsound]

Crackle was my favourite...always disguised my bad paint jobs. 😆

[@trinika267]

Yes! Bring the chrackle polish back! I've been hoarding my old crackle nail polish from the early 2000s, because I was worried that I won't be able to get new ones. Those antiques probably don't even work anymore.

[@JayofallTrades]

Crackle was my favorite nailpolish in 1999 i had it in every color available.

[@itsLilyKitty]

Love this release!

[@ediekathan071]

I remember doing the black crackle over white or silver nail polish back in the early 2000's. I'm so glad it made a comeback. I'm definitely gonna try it the next time I paint my nails ❤

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

You just gave me an idea! Now I need the birthday polishes to arrive so I can try it!

[@artsyapple6509]

I'm here for the crackle! I hope you come out with more colors!

[@Mephistoasted]

I actually really like the crackle over black

[@imthehomestarrunner]

not the simon petrikov making the editttt. fr tho loved the chaotic combos

[@PirateFrodoPotter]

I voted “no” in the poll, and then I saw Cracked Taco over Not Pressed and had to buy them both 😅

[@LC-le9ew]

Wore crackle to work today with glow in the dark. Everyone wanted my nails!

[@MizzRivera86]

I think it's awesome that "crackle" is coming backkk!

[@daniellekarnick9868]

I will never be ashamed of my love for crackle!!

[@autumnavalanche1097]

Watching the crackle happen in real time is so sick...

[@AlexaGinn]

I wonder what would happen if you dabbed crackle on? Assuming you could move that fast. Just thinking of other ways you could give it a different pattern

[@jungtothehuimang]

Kind of want her to try it now just for the experimentation of it

[@LasiHiekka]

I wasn't gonna buy the crackle polish, 'cause it isn't really my thing... But my boyfriend (whose nails I do) thought it was the coolest thing ever! 😂 So I had to get it for him 😅🤭

[@AlexaFaie]

I've still got my first polish from back when the first "trend" for crackle polish happened. It dried up very quickly but I kept it for some reason. Anyway earlier this year I thought I'd try adding some nail polish thinner to it on the off chance it would fix it, but it didn't seem to do anything, so I just left it. Opened it up the other day when transferring my polishes to my new nail polish drawer unit & it is back to working all nice and smooth again! Now I'm kinda gutted that I didn't keep the sliver and gold metallic crackle polishes I also had as I could've saved those too. I preferred them over the black anyway.

[@heartabduction]

I'm wondering about a black base, then glow in the dark, then crackle. The crackle would be more hidden and then in the dark it'd be like a jumpscare!

[@keishalebray1996]

And after all that mess she was talking about the expensive crackle polish from the $500 stream 😤😤😤 deflection 😂😂

[@geezygee]

an embree from creme to sparkle with the crackle on top would be AMAZING

[@NumeroLetter]

I was never able to get crackle polish to work for me, but maybe that was because I was using Sally Hansen's nonsense. The only thing I ever really liked from Sally Hansen was their nail polish sticker thingies, and those were discontinued years ago. And even still, I find myself buying their products bc they're cheap and I forget how awful they are xD OPI and Holo Taco need to be my go-tos, even if they're pricier!! You most certainly get what you pay for!!

[@saminnippon]

dare you to do 100 layers of crackle

[@kipp3100]

I think it would be interesting to do a mani with ocb, then a layer of glow in the dark taco, then crackle, and a glossy taco. I wonder if it would look like plain black nails until you charge it and have radioactive black nails 🖤

[@mcca0584]

Me when I first discovered he shameless holo drippings in her KZbin intros 🤤, “Is this crack ??”

[@martianpudding9522]

I was an early teen last time they were in fashion so I definitely didn't have the best nail polishing skills, but I remember them being pretty bulky? Like either they'd be super bumpy because of the cracks or you'd need a really thick topcoat (or several layers of topcoat) to smooth it out.

[@tahsyr]

As soon as it arrived I put it over brick red and made lava nails!

[@nieceycruickshank2596]

I was literally just thinking about this a few days ago that’s crazy 😅

[@bf8555]

I Have Actually Been Googling Where To Find Crackle Nail Polish Recently. Anyways, Crackle Nail Polish Yes Please. : ))

[@CassandraJeffers]

I need this. I did some awesome crackle manis back in the day

[@tommytse23]

I remember the videos that say they smell like car shop substances for cracked nails

[@katybray6984]

I don’t think I’m ready to go back to crackle nails just yet 😂

[@ehliefrancis4142]

I had crackle polish when I was 7, so I bought it for nostalgia

[@ChaiLatte13]

I would totally wear crackle again. haha

[@xxglowenxx]

I wear colored mascara All The Time. I have tiny lids, so lashes are all I have to play with lmao

[@nluther22]

It’s really pretty over the holo polishes

[@shilox5469]

I had to buy the cracked polish, it looks s o cool🙈

[@continuallycountingchicken7338]

I have super thin electrical tape for doing nail art. I put a strip of one on my crackle bottle so I can quickly tell which is crackle. 😊

[@MELC897]

You mentioned the dark one, you have summoned @Safiya

[@nqaba787]

17 October HAPPY BIRTHDAY ❤❤❤❤

[@Daysii_]

Happiest of days, Cristine 🤭

[@SS_DT]

I found some of my old crackle nail polish from the way old- old days. It... Doesn't work anymore. 😂

[@AlexaFaie]

Add some nail polish thinner to it (butyl acetate & ethyl acetate only version) and just leave it to soak its way in for a while. It didn't work immediately like with a regular polish, in fact I thought it didn't work when I tried it. But I was moving my polish to my new drawer unit & found that its now back to being really liquidy & works better than it did originally. I don't know exactly how long it took as I left it months before remembering to look at it again but it does work so...

[@ericfrancis5210]

I want to see 2 coats of crackle!

[@AlexaFaie]

In my experience from the early days, you can't really do multiple layers of the crackle. It needs the smooth surface to pull itself apart over. When you try to apply on top it just fills in the cracks & can't split apart so just looks like you did a very shitty job applying a regular polish.

[@Mephistoasted]

It's crack o' clock! ⌚

[@NokoFace]

...I kinda liked the crackle over one coat black. It reminded me of volcanic rock splitting and revealing obsidian underneath.

[@estherbaca]

i love cracked taco 🌮 🌮

[@DawnShipley1977]

Maybe you will come out with other Crackle colors.

[@miffiestar]

i used to wear crackle polish in 2008 and 2009😭😭

[@DesertNails]

Yes crackle!

[@melodygros3554]

You should come out with different colors like pink or brown

[@lex.taylorsversion]

I am so early!! So happy for your success!

[@meghannevans2411]

Finally got the $$ to get the crackle and Glow in the dark . they sold out literally 7 hours before I tried to put my order in. :-(

[@gwynsheperd9814]

my mom's kitchen cabinets are painted with crackle

[@hairydino4568]

I actually was trying to find the chameleon one for a good 20 minutes and then I realised she retired 😢

[@HardiSomal]

Simply has lost it with this crack taco

[@Madkalibyr]

I thought just a few months ago crackle nails were a joke

[@bees_nail_art82]

I like crackle I had one but it went bad

[@DaniCrispy]

Noooo, I wanted them… I’ll have to wait a year to get them 😢

[@evadiva8594]

I love doing crackle.

[@alex.r10239]

plz dont post while i am eating dinner with my family cus now im streaming to the tv and dinners on pause💀❤️

[@akemak248]

Will Cracked Taco Shell work on top of gel polish??

[@ericfrancis5210]

2 coats!

[@KolkhozWoman]

Depends on the smell. If it has that early 2000s crackle polish smell, no. Or maybe yes, cause of the nostalgia? I'm just a confused millenial, leave me alone.

[@isolatedcolor509]

I'd rather clip my nails to nubs than wear crackle polish. 🤷‍♀️

[@abbielee8623]

crackle polish mountain ?

[@Alex._._.28933._]

Is crackle going to come in a variety of colors???

[@raqc17]

Will you ever do a gel nail polish line? I work in healthcare & I need to wear gel so it won’t chip as easily.

[@AlexaFaie]

I would recommend F.U.N Lacquer for gel polishes. Cristine used to recommend them a lot before she had her own brand. They have great regular polishes, but also do gel polish versions of most collections. Or rather the other way around since this year's anniversary collection is only gel polishes. Lots of awesome effects. I doubt Holo Taco will do gel polish simply because the factory they work with doesn't make gel polish for any of the brands they produce polishes for. But F.U.N. Lacquer have lots of holo, shimmer, magnetics, flash reactives etc. So you can at least get some nice stuff there.

[@Jennifer-pb9nd]

magnetic nails made a comeback, why not crackle too?

[@SanaChama]

Nice

[@MsMiaWallace23]

I had this from wet and wild 😅

[@fronzotto]

Definite nah from me. But crackle over OPI teenage dream was what converted me into a holosexual so I'm still nostalgic.

[@jasonnorman4471]

just whyyyy

[@continuallycountingchicken7338]

I was shocked that my mom got excited about the crackle polish I bought. She chose it when I was doing her nails. She told me she wanted to get on the Holo Taco site with me because she wanted to buy some Holo Taco of her own. ❤❤❤ I told her to add things to look at everything, add things to her cart l, and we’d chat. She had the crackle and sooooo many other things in her cart. 😂😂😂 I’ve created a holo-mom-ster. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@sakurasraven]

Where does she do the lives?
