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.
I use this top coat every day, i'm refilling so often!!
I just got to try this top coat. Its got a lovely consistency, and goes on smooth, and self levels nicely. Not to mention the flat round brush is beautifully useful. My first delivery got lost, but I was swiftly sent a new one when I reported it. Wonderful experience all around. I will order again.
Works great
This is one of my favorite top coats. I especially find that it works well with my magnetic polishes. It dries pretty quickly and has a glossy finish.
This is the best topcoat I’ve tried, I don’t perceive any shrinking and it is super super glossy, dries fast and is great at protecting the manicure!
Dries in a flash best in the game
This quick dry topcoat by Cracked is amazing!!! And SUCH a steal!!!! I mean it's literally HALF the price of my old current favorite topcoat from a different brand AND there is more product inside the bottle!!!
Hands DOWN... This deal is FIRE!!!
Great product for a HELLA great price!!!
I love it. It applies easily, dries fast, is shiny and protective. The price is well worthwhile and the refill bottle is even better.
I'm really happy with this top coat, works exactly as expected. My nails always dry really fast. I do need to add thinner fairly regularly, but I know that's pretty normal for QDTCs, so I don't take any points off for that.
Dries quick without shrinkage!
Does what it says on the tin. I do get some dings/scratches just from normal wear after a few days, but I'm pretty hard on my nails and the quick dry aspect is fantastic. For the price especially, I would repurchase (but won't for a while because I got the refill!). Refreshes well with thinner.
