Pretty color, very understated but maybe a tad difficult to work with. Got thicker and streaky, which is hard to hide when the finish is pearlescent. Took a little more effort to make it look good.
The perfect pearly neutral pink. I was worried it would look too taupe on my skintone, but i decided to try it and I'm glad I took the chance! It's close to my natural nail color but still pink enough to not give mannequin hands. Very sophisticated and natural-- with a pearly twist.
Lovely shimmer, good coverage with a single coat. This is a pretty one!
She's a warm pink pearl polish, best in three coats. I love how she looks on her own and she makes a great base for nail art. I absolutely adore this formula, it goes on like butter.

I was a bit nervous to try a pearl polish, since the ones I had in the 2000s were so streaky no matter how I applied them. This formula on the other hand is just beautiful. I found it super easy to apply, it self levels very nicely, and the colour is even more lovely in person. I wore it in two coats and got total opacity with that.
I love the color of this polish. It’s just such a sweet light pink. I have trouble with it bubbling when it dries though, I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, it’s sad bc the bubbles mess up the pearly finish
This is my go-to polish for a busy week, it's professional looking, quick to apply and hard-wearing. I work with my hands and the chips are inevitable, but the color is very forgiving for masking imperfections. Typically I get 1-2 days of wear with other polishes but I can stretch it to four days with Baker's Dozen. Photo at four days of wear.
So impressive! Gives a flawless look to the nails. Looks delicate and classic. Perfect bridal color. Completely opaque in 2 coats, even on long nails. Beautifully self leveling and the sheen is perfect. Only great things to say about this color and formula.
Such a great palate cleanser, love it so much
Love Baker’s Dozen! It’s such a delicate, pretty neutral that went on smoothly and lasted forever!
This is a very delicate color that got desired coverage in 3 coats. However, it's my first Cracked polish that was a bit difficult to work with, not in terms of coats, but visible streaks in the pearl finish. I know some of this is to be expected, but the darker pearl finishes are smooth and flawless. This one isn't. Will just make a note for future purchases that the lighter this finish goes, the less forgiving it is. Otherwise, no issues, and will look lovely with a matte topcoat as well.
Beautiful neutral shade, makes me feel super classy! I think it's best in three coats and when you use as few strokes as possible. It's also a great base for nail art. It's almost pink, almost warm, feels like a true neutral on me!
I love flashy fun nails too but sometimes I just want something neutral with a touch of glam - Baker's Dozen is perfect! All of the glazed pearl finish colours are just top notch.
This is the most perfect pearly neutral pink, I love how Cracked’s pearl formula goes on soooo smooth! I picked this one to wear for our family portraits since it’s very demure.
Baker's Dozen is the sort of color that I could wear anywhere, even in front of my *very* conservative 90 year old mother. The touch of warmth makes it wearable year round, and I imagine that it would work on a wide range of skin tones.
I was worried about streaks when applying this, but once it dried it was beautiful and smooth. It definitely pulls pink on my warm/yellow toned skin, but it still looked great. I usually prefer bold colors but Cracked got me hooked on neutrals, starting with this one.
Really pretty frosty nude pink shade. It feels very nostalgic to frosty pearly nail polish from the 90s/00s but with a much better less streaky formula. You definitely still need to be a bit careful with application if you want to avoid streaks but even for someone with a pretty shaky and heavy hand (me) the formula smooths out really well once it dries down.
Great
It’s a great palate cleanser color in between saturated shades I tend to favor and a very pretty neutral for when occasion calls for restraint.
I love the frost finish to this color. Such a pretty neutral
I love the shine of this polish and it's still a really nice neutral for situations where I can't have crazy bright nails. Couldn't really see the brush strokes which was nice. The color is muted in a way that isn't the most flattering on with my pale skin tone though.
No notes! Great formula, no streaks, work friendly but still chic. When decision fatigue overwhelms me this is the polish I reach for.
This is a lovely and very soft pink. I'm so glad it was a reward and I picked it up! It looks a tiny bit washed out against my pale pinkish skin, but I adore the color anyway.
Same beautiful shimmery frosting finish as the other pearl polishes--I can't get enough of these!
I used 2 coats but if your coats are thinner you might want 3 for opacity.
