What do Crocs and Sea Salt have in common?

Well, in the nail world, they are both textures!  Today I have a few random ones that I don't have a full collex of.

Julep Madeline - Sea Salt texture.  Their version of the creme texture mani, it is a very pretty delicate seashell pink.  Needs at least two coats for opacity, and is probably the least textured of all the ones I've tried, so it might be a good starter texture!

Barry M. Ridley Road Texture.  Oh, mint.  I must have a mint polish in every brand, and now in different textures!  I love this color, and it's pretty fun in this form.  It's another creme texture, bumpier than the Julep, and I think bumpier than the Milani, too, if memory serves.

Barry M Croc Effects.  I may be over crackle, but I am loving this.  I am wearing Black Croc Effects over Pretty Jelly Hestia (from the Goddess collex - stay tuned tomorrow for swatches from the whole amazing collection.)

I have one thin layer over my index and middle, one thicker layer over my ring and pinkie fingers.  On my thumb I have two layers, with the second applied after the first had already cracked.

With topcoat, it looks like patent leather!  The thinner layers took on a bronze look from the color underneath, and the thumb with two coats took a long time to crack a second time and looks too thick.  I recommend one thick layer.  It's fun to watch it make the pattern, too. It's entertainment!

Ok, I admit, I still have crackle polishes, too, but I rarely wear them.  This effect I would wear loud and proud.  It's awesome.  Same with the sand/salt/etc textures.  They are really fun and versatile.  Did you find one that you liked?  Do you still rock a crackle mani?  Don't worry, I won't judge you... much. ha-ha!
