To make the polish have the effect, paint on a regular base color. (example; silver) Let it dry. Now paint on the crackle polish color (example; pink). As it dries it will crackle. Finish with a clear or sparkly topcoat.

If you have your own nail polish, that's perfect. Go to the store and buy CRACKLE nail polish. Put on regular nail polish on all nails. Do one stripe in the middle of the CRACKLE nail polish. As it dries off, it starts to form CRACKLE nails.

Ethanol is added so the nail polish dries so rapidly it produces an appearance of a shattered surface. It is also formulated so the polish dries unevenly to produce the cracked effect.

Who makes the nail polish that cracks?

OPI makes it. - - - - - OPI was the company that "reintroduced" crackle polish, but now every nail polish company makes it. It is very easy to make: take regular nail polish and put some alcohol in it. There's already a solvent called ethyl acetate in nail polish. Alcohol and ethyl acetate evaporate at different rates, and this causes the paint film to crack. This would normally be bad, but with crackle nail polish it's the whole point of doing it.
