Product Spotlight: LCN CrocoFever

by NAILS Magazine | November 9, 2011 | Bookmark +

There’s a fun new polish trend on its way, and it’s called CrocoFever.

CrocoFever from LCN is a top coat similar to shatter, but it breaks up along lines that are designed to imitate the look of a crocodile-like leather handbag.

The lacquers allow you to create the reptilian/snakeskin manicure in minutes with a simple application that gets a bold result

LCN has four Croco Top colors available: Croco Eyes, Ruby Forever, Black Leather, and Rescue Red; which combine to create a nice range for the eye-catching look.

LCN has recommendations as to which base colors work better with the different Croco Tops. They are:

Croco Eyes (brown) — Gold (g17), Matchmaker (320), NightFever(515)

Red Rescue — Silver (g16), Milky Way (NA7), After Party (297)

Black Leather — Business Gray (287), Fascinating Gray (4), Sweet Serenade (310)

Ruby Forever — In Style (325), Vicious Violet (122), Summer in the City (309)

Here is a video from LCN demonstrating how to properly apply CrocoFever.

1. Apply LCN Base Coat

2. Apply one or two coats of the LCN polish of your choice

3. Let polish dry for 4 minutes. (The polish needs to be tacky. If it is too dry or too wet, the croco effect will not optimally perform)

4. Apply Croco Top in quick and controlled strokes all going in the same direction. Thinner application of the Croco Top results with a smaller reptilian effect whereas a thicker coats gives you a larger effect.

5. After five minutes the Croco Top will have finished. Apply LCN Top Coat and enjoy!
