New favorite top coat!! It makes my polish look so shiny and last beautifully! I have consistently been using it for the past month earring manicures for up to a week and I haven’t experienced any chipping and the polish continues to look glossy. This picture is from after about 5 days of wear.
I used it today for the first time to revitalize a week-old manicure. It is a gamble for me to do so during the day, since I have small children to pick up/herd/etc… and this passed the test! I didn’t ruin my nails because they took too long to dry!
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.
Perfect! Very glossy and boom - dry. It was challenged by Glitter Grabber, 3 layers of color, and base coat. It was touch-dry very quickly, and I woke up with no creases in the layers.
This is the first QDTC I've used that's dried fast, hard, and mirror shiny without a STITCH of shrinkage! It immediately ended my search for my "holy grail" topcoat.
This is my second bottle and it stayed the same consistency till the last drop! This is rare with my topcoats. Will be repurchasing!
Love the price point and the refill option. But my bottle was DUMMY thick. I am a thick polish appreciator, but it started getting goopy/borderline stringy within the first like 3 uses. Gonna be using a lot of thinner on this bad boy.
And the way it dries down it's kinda...grippy? Plastic-ie? 100% a personal preference thing but not the nice slick glass texture I prefer. But it does a pretty good job making my manicures last. Think it'll be my official pedicure top coat or when I'm using a matte topper.
I have been using this for a few weeks now and I like it a lot! It dries really quickly, no issues with shrinking, and protects my manicure well. I do find it dulls faster than other QDTC's in my collection. By day 4 I find myself wanting to add another layer to amp up the shine. Will repurchase!
I’ve never had a top coat dry my nails so fast. I can start moving within just a couple minutes and not worry about my nails getting messed up. Super glossy and a must have for every manicure.
My absolute favorite top coat everrrr
The worst clear coat ever.
For a high price point polish the clear coat chips instantly. When I’m in between colors I like using a clear coat to keep my nails looking shiny and this polish on its own is horrible. It just chips immediately after drying and after 3 days my polish has pretty much disintegrated off my nails
I use this every day and for every mani!!
By far my favorite top coat!
It was my first QDTC and still my fastest drying and can take slight dings without damage after 5-10 minutes
