Donut Spunk

Donut Spunk

Donut Spunk is a glimmering oyster pearl white with a dusting of taupe. This is my spin on the popular glazed donut nail trend. This classic shade is the perfect everyday polish and would also make for a stunning bridal shade. 

Fun Fact - One of my favorite things to do is hit up a local donut shop and indulge. 

Pro Tip - You can wear this in 1, 2, or 3 coats depending on your desired look.

Flattering shade, frustrating brush

Donut Spunk was the surprise standout in the Hero's bundle I scooped up during the anniversary sale! Photo in this review of skittle shows the true color. Other photos in this review show it with a special effects topper which transformed the shade into magic. Included photo of brush and replacement I used.

First, the good - I have many tones in my skin, and have been on a years-long search for a good basic neutral to add to my collection that didn't give "spiteful Grandma who gives out toothbrushes on Halloween".

Donut Spunk is "your favorite Grandma who gives out king-sized candy bars and has the best decorations in town for every season". It fabulously fit the bill as my dream neutral color! Monique is a genius when it comes to color-mixing and I dream of chatting about color with her someday over coffee.

Onto the brush. Right out of the gate, the brush bristles looked short in length compared to what I saw in swatch videos. Individual bristles seemed thick and stiff, and lacked the small metal triangle/staple looking thing that gathers the bristles together in most other brushes I've used. This made it incredibly difficult to work with the formula - the first coat went on okay, but the second formula, even when I floated, pulled the first coat with it. I had to redo the nail, overload the brush a bit more, and figured it out to get a smoother application. So, the learning curve for me was quick, but I foresee this becoming a source of frustration for others.

The formula - when I swatched Donut Spunk using the brush that comes with the bottle, the formula feels thick, chalky/grainy, and was prone to being overworked.

HOWEVER, when I switched out the brush to a more pliable fan/paddle, the formula performed incredibly - smoother application, NO overworking, and didn't feel thick anymore. What a glow-up!

I was thrilled and did a full Halloween themed mani. 2 coats for opacity, added a special effect topper, nail tattoos, and glow in the dark accents. Fabulous and no chips after tons of work with my hands all week.

I will absolutely order another bottle (and more backup brushes from elsewhere), and I'm still shocked this is my most used polish the past couple of weeks.

But I did want to be up front with my feedback and the brush trouble, especially as someone who has been painting their own nails for a couple decades. For the sale price I got it at with the bundle discount, I am quite happy with Donut Spunk.

Hoping Monique stocks replacement brushes in the future on the site so I can do a one stop shop :)!

Such a pretty donut glazed look in just 2 coats? Sold! The formula made application so easy! I’m so glad I tried out this best seller shade I was pleasantly surprised. 😊 It easily became one of my favorites in my collection 🤍 Couldn’t stop staring at my nails!

Loving this Glazed Donut Spunk!

Donut Spunk is such an understated and underrated polish! It’s a beautiful nude polish with a slight bluish shimmer to it. I used two easy coats and it was perfect! I can’t wait to try the rest of my polishes from Cracked Polish

The name says it all. It gives glazed donut vibes and in person it is even more beautiful!! I can’t believe I waited this long to try this brand out. So glad I did!!

Beautiful color, but needed work to be not streaky

This colour is lovely. I have light olive skin and this pulls slightly pink on me - it’s like the most flattering white-like polish ever. Doesn’t give me corpse hands like some white/light/nude polishes.i LOVE the tiny flecks up close!

I do wish the formula worked better for me though. I’m not sure if I received a dud bottle since many reviews talk about how smooth and even the polish is, but my first coat was SO streaky, I wasn’t sure if I could make it work. It definitely can’t be used as a sheer wash of colour. I thinned the polish for the second coat and it helped some, but I could still see dark spots on my nails. I needed a third coat for it to be wearable for me and one finger could probably use a 4th coat since one of the coats on that finger dragged really badly. I don’t mind a 3-coater, but I watched quite a few swatch videos and my experience seems to be not the norm.

I have painted my nails for over 20 years so I am not a beginner anymore. I’m used to working with all sorts of formulas - so I don’t think this is a case of user error.

I still love this colour and would still recommend it. I might’ve just gotten a one off!
