Crackle layering!

This is an add-on to my Absolutely Alice mani I showed you earlier this month. Crackle layering, have you tried it yet?? I originally applied the Crackle Lightning Bolt in a criss-cross pattern, and then the Crackle Fault Line going up and down for some variation. If you dont do this, the cracks tend to fall into the same pattern, which is what happened with my thumbs. I did that as a comparison.

Original mani was 2 coats of AA, followed by 1 coat of Seche Dry Fast, 1 coat LB followed by 1 more coat of Seche Dry Fast. I added 1 coat China Glaze Fault Line, with one more coat of Seche Dry Fast.
