Name This Polish
Finish: crackle, shimmer, glitter
Tone: dark, celebratory, spooky
Named by the FMN community through our monthly Name This Polish.
Created to celebrate three years of Forget Me Not Lacquer, this limited-edition crackle topper is our slightly wicked take on a birthday candle. A multi chrome base shifts through deep burgundy, glowing ruby, fiery copper and antique gold, scattered with violet holographic sparkle.
Apply one thin coat over your favorite polish and watch the surface split and crack, revealing the color underneath. Try it over black for something dark and smoldering, red for a fiery fractured effect, or a pale, glow in the dark shade for dramatic contrast.
Three years, one candle. Make your wish carefully.
HOW TO CRACK IT 🖤
This is a crackle topper and must be worn over another nail polish—it will not work on a bare nail.
Apply your base color and let it dry completely. Then apply ONE thin coat of the crackle polish. Don’t go back over it! Within about 15–30 seconds, the polish will begin to split and reveal the color underneath. Every nail will crack a little differently.
Once the crackle effect is completely finished, seal with a quick-dry top coat for shine and protection.
A few important things: Keep the bottle tightly closed when you’re not using it, don’t leave it open while painting, and gently shake before use. Crackle formulas are more delicate than regular polish.
Now, blow out the candle and watch it crack.
