Someone on Twitter had told me to try neons under shatter/crackle polish, so I thought I'd go one step further and skittle it too! Even though there were many layers, this only took me about 10 minutes to create.
I started with a base of Seche Natural, and then added one coat of CND Brilliant White. I let that dry and then added 3 coats of each neon - China Glaze Pool Party, China Glaze Sun Worshiper, China Glaze Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, China Glaze Kiwi Cool-Ada and China Glaze Towel Boy Toy. On top of that went a layer of Seche Vite, then a layer of OPI Black Shatter and a final layer of Seche Vite on top. Phew! My CND is a basic colour shade, all the China Glazes are from the Poolside 2010 collection, and Black Shatter is apart of the OPI Shatter Collection 2011.

I seriously loved this manicure - I couldn't stop staring at my hands. It gave me the courage to Skittle (wear a different color on each finger). I really want to try the "ombre manicure" that I saw from All Lacquered Up's blog like a year and a half ago, haha. Also seen here on The Diary of an Indy Grrl and here from Concrete and Nail Polish. Fun times!
