I was only meant to twitpic about this so I hope you will excuse the briefness of this post. Call it express review or sneak peak ;) I was a TJ Hughes today. As usual, I am not sure what appalled me the most: The bootleg music or the sorry state of the displays. I arrived in the middle of a clean up session, where a poor girl had to clean a gooey mess of polishes. Not such a bad thing for me as it allowed me test the gold crackle from W7. Its official name is 'Earthquake' Crackle Polish, which is a bit ironic as the state of the display looks like it had actually been ravaged by an earthquake.
First impressions after a quick swatch on on finger? It's ok. In most lighting situations, the polish would look more like a shade of mustard yellow rather than a true true gold which is I would want from a gold crackle polish. Only bright sunshine and strong flash will make it vibrant. I suppose it's ok considering the £1.99 price tag.

Thanks for the photos! Yeah, it is quite gold I guess...will have to investigate further.
I'd expect it to be much more bright and gold. I can see it'd look more a mustard colour. Still... £1.99 isn't bad at all.
hmm I actually quite like the mustardy-ness lol, goes really well with the hot pink.
lol when I was little my mum had me in boots and I took a rage at a nail polish display and caused a lil Lori-quake... boots were not happy and I got a sore bum most likely.

17 do a nice gold crackle. And I think that CG are bringing some metallic crackles out in the future. I think it looks nice on you Liloo ;o) x
This is stunning! I love the colour combo! x
Well I think it looks really pretty over that pink :)
this is so pretty! I am a super fan of the crackle effect! I have different 4 colors :D
