Will witch hazel work for making your own crackle nail polish?

Witch hazel can be used as a solvent in DIY crackle nail polish, but it may not produce the desired crackle effect on its own. To achieve crackle, you typically need a base coat and a specific crackle top coat that dries at different rates. Mixing witch hazel with nail polish can help thin the polish, but you'll still need the right formulation for effective crackling. Experimentation may be required to find the right balance for your desired result.
