Super pretty sheer black! I like to use it to darken other colors and also on its own. My only complaint is that it can be a bit finicky, if you overwork it then you might get some streaky/unevenness. Other than that, gorgeous!
The formula is impressively self leveling. I got this one on sale wanting it for nail art as the website photos look kind of patchy. I want expecting much but I found that it all evens out with 3 heavier handed coats. I couldn’t be more pleased!
I can see ways to make this an edgy, fun look or a classy, neutral look.
Not as pigmented as I had hoped, but very nice consistency for a jelly! Had to do 4 coats to reach a darker color. Carbon Copy on ring finger, 4 coats.
Versatile and buildable
I don't usually gravitate to black polish, but since this one was glassy and buildable, I decided to try it out! This was my first jelly from Cracked. The formula was a little tricky, kind of like putting a topcoat-- you can't overwork the polish!! It didn't self-level 100%. Even though I didn't have the best application, I am excited to use this polish for galaxy jelly sandwich manicures or accent nails!
Obsessed. I love how squishy and moody Carbon Copy is! Applied beautifully and works so well for a jelly sandwich with flakie toppers <3
Gonna be honest, I was a little disappointed with the other jelly polish I've tried from this brand, but I had much better luck with this one! Worked great as a layering polish and I know I'll get tons of use out of it.
Nice sheer black
I love how this looks, it’s so fun to use for nail art or wear on its own
Great black jelly! Does wjat it do.
Builds up in three coats. Excited to try laying with this one for fall.
I got this with the intension of layering with other jellies to give a moodier tone and it did not disappoint
Lovely sheer black for your lace top stockings nail art!
Love that its a true black sheer jelly. Cracked is my fav for jellies!
I really, really wanted to like Carbon Copy. Unfortunately I found it to be quite sheer, which, on its own, is fine, but I did not get the color payoff I wanted in three coats. It did not build up for me into that nice jelly black that the bottle promised.
This is a great black jelly! I love doing jelly sandwiches with different toppers using this one!
Oooo I'm going to use this all the time. Had me sold at using it as a tint over nudes, but I also love it in 3 coats for a really fantastic jelly black. It evens out so nicely. Just perfect.
Exactly what I expected - works great
i find it a bit difficult to build up just the black pigment without too many layers, but this color is super fun for layering with other polishes, especially ones with glitters.
This is in my regular rotation for a jelly sandwich. I have another similar from another brand, but I grab this polish every time. Staple item for me.
Nice jelly! I'm hoping to use it to darken some colors for fall and winter.
Perfect formula...
With Mascara flakes, this becomes somethibg else.
A beautiful black jelly. I love making sandwiches with other glitters using this shade.
I keep this and Vanille in my desk for easy access - basic for all nail collections and works great
This has really amped up my polish game. It can darken shades, it provides a nice base for my sheerer polishes. Wearing it on its own as a retired exclusively-black-polish wearer gives me a nice jolt of nostalgia while giving it an updated feel.
Great for jelly sandwiches!
Good jelly consistency
This jelly is best used for layering over other polishes to deepen their color, which makes it a very useful tool for your polish palette. On its own it takes several coats to approach a black shade. It's a true neutral black color.
