GOLD AND TURQUOISE

Barielle Swizzle Stix
Chine Glaze Tarnished Gold

Today I have a simple manicure to show you. Crackle and Shatter polishes were a big deal last summer, but the trend died down quicker than I could say, “Hey, that’s a pretty cool pol-..” Well, either way, I still find the Crackle polishes to be amazing - someone was definitely a genius to combine the ingredients to make a polish behave in such a bizarre way!

My choice of the color combination is inspired by a game I recently started playing (and finished within one week, hehe) - Uncharted: Golden Abyss. I was hooked and continued to play to view the amazing graphics of the temples and forests of Panama in the game. Aside from shooting down Guerro’s army, what stood out the most to me were the jewels and precious stones. In one chapter, I searched high and low to collect turquoise stones, until I finally came across an area of shining gold (well, I’ll stop now so I won’t spoil the game for you). Absolutely gorgeous! Here’s an even closer look:

Well, what do you think? Is Crackle too old news for you? Feel free to comment on this post or talk to me on Facebook! If you want to recreate this look, you can purchase these polishes on Amazon.
