Glitter Me Pretty: BYS Cracked



Product: BYS Cracked
Price: $4 at Kmart
My Rating: 1 out of 5
So today i was wondering around the kmart cosmetics depart when i stumbled upon the BYS nail polishes. Some of the colours were quite nice and i seen that they were only $4. i crouched down to get a better look when i seen BYS Cracked! Well i was so excited, this product appears to be a crackle nail polish and it was only $4. I seen that there was a red colour and i snapped that right up, i could see the potential colour combinations already.

As soon as i arrived home and had eaten dinner, i decided it was time. I began by painting my nails white. Simple on the first time out! I waited for my nails to dry as you do with the china glaze crackle polishes. Excitedly i opened the bottle and painted my thumb nail. I noticed that unlike the china glaze crackle that the polish did not immediately begin to crack, still giving the polish the benefit of the doubt i painted the next nail. Still no cracking. I read the instructions on the back of the packaging which explained that the polish cracks as its drying. I could see that it was still wet so i continued to paint the rest of the nails on my hand.

After about 5 minutes i look back at my nails expecting (hoping) to see some beautiful cracks. Nothing.... Actually nothing is a bit extreme. The polish did crack very slightly but it appeared more to look like chipped nails then a good crackle polish.

As you can imagine i was and am very disappointed. The only relieving factor is that this polish only cost me $4. I see in hindsight that i should have taken photos or of videoed it, to show the blogosphere or youTube the results that have disappointed me so. I was just so devastated that i wanted something nice on my nails (China Glaze to the rescue). I will take photos and/or video it when i can bear to face the disappointment again. Who knows maybe second time round it will work. So Stay tuned for those photos.

Until next time.
