The most gorgeous, deep, fall red. It was opaque in 2 coats, I went for 3 but it didn't need that extra coat. It went on smooth, just so easy to apply. This is an elegant red for everyday wear or even when you want to be a vamp.
Read & Spill The Tea are absolutely gorgeous together. I added gold one day and..... ✨️ wow. I'm fairly new, so my experience is that you must be veryyy careful not to flood the cuticles with this one. But if you get the application down, for me it was THE red i was searching for. That deep, dark moody red.
Deep, moody red, that's almost black! Applies like a dream, fully opaque in just two coats and the color is GORGEOUS!!!!
I adore this red! The first coat looks very blood-red, but the next 2 coats for me built it up to a gorgeous, very deep red. It was a nice formula to work with, too!
Dark and moody. The perfect fall red. I want to try it with a flakies topper next.
This color is BEAUTIFUL, goes on easily and dries well. The manicure lasted me a week!
very deep dark red, lovely jelly formula. It does stain use a basecoat
I am always in the mood for a rich red! This one hits the spot! You can dress it up or down with a good topper too!
I ordered six polishes in this order and I love every one of them. I highly recommend Cracked Polish. You will not be disappointed!
Vampy reds are some of my favorite colors, so i've tried many, and this one is SO GOOD. It is so so good. The depth is amazing, but not so dark that it looks black in low light. It doesn't really have brown-tones like some dark reds. Wonderful formula. I liked it in 2 coats on my short but ridge-y nails. I detected an ever so slightly crelly-ish formula, which gave it an amazing glossy finish and added to the depth and vamp. It's true love.
Classic deep red creme, longevity is everything. Used this on my mom and auntie's fingers and toes for a party.
Pulled more brown on me then red. Formula wise it was very nice, the colour just didn't suit me. Unfortunately I can't find the photos I took before I gave it away.
This red has become my go-to when I want a red polish! Applies beautifully in one to two coats (if my hands were more coordinated it would only need one lol.) Gorgeous on it’s own or with a topper
I’m having a black cherry 2026 and this is perfect.
I needed a deep red jelly and this scratched the itch. Looks so good.
I have been looking for the perfect wine polish, and finally found it! Absolutely love the formula and how long lasting it is. Have a feeling this will be getting looots of wears!
I love reds, but I can't bring myself to wear anything that leans too far into firetruck territory. Read reads ALMOST black--especially with 2 or more layers of it--but once the light hits, you see it! A sexy, vampy, and subdued red. Great coverage and self-levels very well.
A beautiful rich and creamy red. Applies super smoothly. Works great as a base color.
Lovely dark red with hints of brown. Perfect for fall or all year (in my opinion).
Love this red! Its smooth, creamy and rich!
Great deep dark vampy shade. I’m not normally a creme type girl but I knew I needed this dark and mysterious polish. This one also looks amazing topped with scorchy!
This color brings me back to high school in the early 2000’s, my favorite polish was this exact shade! The formula was very pigmented, I only needed two coats for optimal opacity.
I’ve been missing a color like this in my collection for far too long. It’s a deep moody red just my type of color. Works great alone or as a base for other colors or toppers.
I love all of Cracked reds, I have a lot of them.
The kind of red that doesn’t whisper; it speaks. Bold, glossy, and richly pigmented, it gives instant confidence the moment it hits your nails. The tone is a deep, elegant crimson — not too bright, not too vampy — just that perfect “I have my life together” red.
This is just beautiful!
Works great as a base for other shades that are more sheer. Opaque in 2 coats. Applied smooth.
Beautiful in 2 coats, could probably even get away with 1 on short nails. Now I'm wishing I had gotten the other reds during the sale, love the formula.
This shade comes across as a bold, confident red that still feels effortless. It lays down smooth, even coverage in one to two coats, with a glossy finish that makes the color look richer and deeper on the nail.
