3 simple steps to create own exclusive beautiful crackle nail.

a. Paint Base Coat
It can be any of regular nail polish and will become the back color of the nail.

b. Paint Crackle Coat
After the base coat gets dry, simply paint our crackle coat, and the amazing random crackle will appear on the nail. Paint another layer before it gets dry if a stronger result is needed.

c. Paint Top Coat
It can be any of regular top coat according to personal demands after the crackle coat gets dry.

I am no expert on nail polish, but I do know how a crackle finish is achieved with woodworking. A slow drying undercoat is applied to a surface. A fast drying lacquer of a contrasting color is applied on top of it. The top coat dries immediately, and as the slow-drying undercoat hardens, the top coat "cracks" into a pattern. I am guessing - and it is a guess, I admit - that the principle is the same with nail polish.

What makes crackle nail polish crackle?

The manufacturers add a solvent (ethanol) to the polish that makes the crackle layer dry quickly and unevenly. Curiously, this is the opposite of the way &quot;normal&quot; nail polish should work, as it should dry smoothly and evenly. This answer is from a different question site.
