This is my new favorite Cracked polish! I love the peacock vibes it gives and the glitters are gorgeous! The color shift is amazing!
I love the richness of this polish, and the blue shimmer absolutely makes the holo POP. such an elegant and fun polish.
This is the probably the sparkliest polish I've ever owned. It's like wearing a starry night sky on your nails.
Another shifty masterpiece! It's pretty dark, so I tend to wear it in more in the winter months, but you get all the colors depending on light and angles! Best part is you don't need "extreme" light or angles, either. Just all through a regular day you get to see the shifts, no studio needed.
The pictures are absolutely accurate. It’s gorgeous in person. The formula is lovely and it is very nearly opaque with only 1 coat - it’s completely opaque at 2. Definitely recommend!
I got really into animal print stamping, and I wanted to use Artistic Expression as a base for a mani, and omg yall it added such a rich and sparkly depth to the mani!! I'll definitely keep trying out nail art designs with this polish. Went on so smoothly and only needed 2 coats (coming from a dedicated 3 coat girlie)
This is such a beautiful shade. I love the shifting deep blue and purple and the shimmers. It looks like the night sky in my dream world and it feels so whimsical to wear.
I love this polish. I started 2026 with this color and didn’t want to take it off lol it shifts beautifully and has so much glitter and shimmer. Truly is perfect for an artistic expression
I ordered this quite While ago but just now got around to trying it and all I can say is omg. I was probably causing road rage all over town since I couldn’t help but to admire my nails at every stoplight.
Somehow, I didn't realize that the blue in these photos is this absolutely gorgeous shade of *teal*. In real life, this polish is constantly shifting and I almost always see both teal and purple simultaneously on the nail.
It is a little textured from all the glitters, but not so much that you'd need a glitter grabber. A second layer of topcoat does just as well here. (I tried it both ways, for science, and couldn't tell a difference between the glitter grabber nail and the double-top-coat nail.)
A new favorite! Beautiful sparkly shifty polish that gives me instant cool girl status. This is going to be a new go-to!
This is such a beautiful blue to purple color! It hits all the right notes for me: lovely shift, holo flakies, and it has so much dimension. Looks amazing in every lighting! I will admit, the thicker formula was tricky for me personally to work with, but I’ll learn in no time because it’s worth it 😙
This polish is so shifty and sparkly! It’s absolutely mesmerizing, I can’t stop staring at my nails!
I love the colors and the way it brings out such rich purple and blue shades. The silver glitter is just right - plenty to be noticeable, not so much to be overwhelming - and really pops in outdoor lighting.
I used another brand of quick dry top coat and found that it laid smoothly. I might have been a little heavy handed, but did not need a glitter smoother or an extra layer of top coat, which is always a plus for drying.
I love the color shift and glitter combo in this polish. It's very fun! Doesn't eat top coat like a lot of glitters do.
such a beautiful shade, so shifty, and I love the glitters in it.
This is a polish with a lot going on, looks very different in every situation and lighting.
Gave it to a friend who loves it though!
This polish is sparkly but dark and campy at the same time. I love it!
Its one of my favorite polishes of all time. It's very beautiful and shifty. It reminds me a lot of Mooncat's Supervillain, but it's actually a nicer formula and its more of chrome creme instead of flakes. I love it so much!
This is one of the most beautiful nail polishes. Seriously one of my favorites from Cracked or anywhere. I love the colors and the shift. It reminds me A LOT as a soul dupe of Mooncat's Supervillian. Its the same color, exactly, but instead of mega flakes, its just a chrome/creme color!
It’s looks exactly like it does in the photos! Love the blue to purple shift
Beautiful color shifting.
I have a lot of colors in this family, and while this one isn't super unique it is very pretty and formula is great to work with!
Deep, dark and sparkling.
