Just got this and did my nails right away. Dries fast, my nails are shiny and my polish didn’t shrink. New favorite top coat!
Great top coat!
One of the best quick dry top coats. I use it every week when I do my mani refresh!
I’ve been using the same topcoat for the last 6 years. I recently got this topcoat to try and it blew my expectations out of the water. Dries just as fast as my tried and true topcoat but is sooooo juicy and shiny! It looks like gel polish!
I really wanted to love this, as I have loved everything else I've gotten from Cracked. But this product just does not work for me. Maybe it's something to do with my nil chemistry and this doesn't happen for others, but every time I use this qdtc it bubbles awfully. On top of this, it dries waaay too quickly, like before I'm even done painting the nail. This makes it super difficult to work with. I've done a lot of testing, so I know the bubbling isn't just a fluke/application issue. The picture I included shows Cracked qdtc on the left and my favorite drugstore qdtc on the right. I used exactly the same method of application for both hands, the only difference being the top coats, and yet I got crazy bubbling and unevenness on the hand with the Cracked :( Hopefully that's visible in the pic, it's hard to capture on camera.
This dries quick but doesn’t have that ‘plump’ affect if that’s what you want. It’s still glossy & lasts. I noticed it also doesn’t diminish shimmer in polishes. I tried it on my left hand & I used BKL qdtc on my right hand. My right hand polish appears to be darker & the left didn’t. The left hand shimmer was more pronounced in my opinion. I still like both top coats. I tried taking a picture on my own which was difficult. My mani is a week old. Two coats of polish with two coats of top coat.
I've used this QDTC twice now, once exclusively with Cracked polishes and basecoats and once with KBShimmer. It is a nice medium plumpness with low odor compared to other topcoats. It stays shiny for at least 6 days too (I switched out my mani at 6 days). The KBS is a borderline neon and it really makes the brightness pop which is nice because those can tend to be matte. The wear time has been excellent (I change my nails before they're chipped since I like variety). My first mani I had on for 6 days no issues - I even washed some things after a Science experiment in my classroom without gloves because I was in a rush and it held up to that too. Very impressed! My current mani is going strong - no chips or tip wear at all on day 4. Can't wait to use this more, love the price and the fact that there are refills too!
Zero shrinkage, fast drying, and an excellent price. What more could you want!?!
This is the glossiest topcoat I have ever used. I have tried many and nothing compares. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I have had people ask me if I’m wearing gel because it’s so glossy and plump. Don’t even get me started on the price! So reasonable.
Cracked gifted me this to try, but this review is 100% my opinion. I usually use a toulene based quick dry top coat, which is a bit faster, but this one is now my holy grail top coat for magnetics! Here's why: it refreshes the magnetic pigment underneath it before drying, leading to a sharper magnetic effect, it doesn't disturb or pinch the design underneath, if I accidentally bump it while drying, it smoothes itself out pretty well, and it still dries pretty fast! 100/10 highly recommend. I will need to buy more!
What can I say except that it’s perfect? It has no toluene, causes no shrinkage, applies smoothly, dries quick, and is super affordable. My new favorite top coat and I will definitely be restocking when I finish! Together with the base my mani lasted a long time! (*gifted, but opinions are my own.)
This polish dries real fast compared to a lot of other "quick dry" top coats out there. The gloss looks amazing, and I haven't noticed any shrinkage along the edges of the nail from using this. I love it, and true to Cracked Polish, the value for how much you get is outstanding. This is definitely my new go-to top coat.
I love this top coat, it's my go to! Love that you can refill the bottle too
Sooo nice and glassy
Haven’t tried this with genetics yet, but it’s a great, quick topcoat for non-mags so far. Would definitely repurchase.
I've had so many poor experiences with quick-dry topcoats, this one is stellar!
Best in the game!
A nice thick quick dry top coat. It does get very very thick and hard to use pretty quickly after opening though.
All quick dry topcoats will eventually need thinner. I like how this one needs it ever so often since its on the thinner side. It has nice shine and a slight plumping effect. It saves me from using so much thinner
there is no polish I use every day other than this one, lol.
Dries so quickly and does a great job at leveling out all the polish
Some QDTCs get so thick so quickly but Cracked's is so great! I also think this is basically the best brush for one of these, you can get a perfectly smooth coat with minimal effort!

Works great
Makes nails plump and shiny
Lasts SO long and is super quick drying.
It works very well with Cracked Jelly polish. Easy to apply, very shinny
