Crackle gradient - or at least a try

A few days ago I made my nails glossy with my nail buffer. Here's how they turned out, very shiny and it's with no polish on ;)

So I hadn't had black nail for a looong time so that's what I put on. As you might be able to guess, it wasn't enough, I had to do something on top of the black.

 So I got this idea, a crackle gradient. On my left hand I think the gradient looked nice but there wasn't very much crackle.

 On the other hand I thought the crackle went much better but not the gradient. Well, I'll have to do it again some other time to try to make it better.

The lacquers I used are: Rival de Loop - 30 and OPI - Turquoise Shatter.
