I waited too long to try this color it is absolutely stunning! So many possibilities with toppers too!

Pictures are with 2 coats under cool and warm lighting!

I wasn’t sure just how deep a red this was going to be, it almost looks like a black-red in dim lighting with 2 coats. I want to love it, but it’s just too dark under normal lighting for my taste. I would simply use one coat, but it is SUPER difficult to get it nice and even with just one! Lovely color, but just a bit too dark for my taste

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.

I would say the shade verges on a dark chocolatey shade with red tones, absolutely love it!

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!

Sleek, dark, warm, comforting. Perfect for Autumn. One coat is beautiful. Two gets you that rich, dark depth. Paint it on and curl up with a spicy black tea and an old leather bound book.

When I applied a black jelly on Worthy of Love I thought that maybe I shouldn't have bought Read, but from a closer eye I noticed being very different in terms of undertone so I cannot say I am not impressed. Cracked is nothing but lazy in terms of colour choice. Great product.

Dark and dreamy dark red. Love this shade and it applies smooth. Cracked cremes are perfection.

This is a beautiful red with a nice self-leveling formula. Perfect for fall!

Stunning color! It covers in 2 coats for me. Love using it for layering combo bases.

Love this polish how it self levels. Beautiful colour and formula.

I looove this color. I've been wearing it for 2 weeks and it still looks good and fresh. I used the base coat and top coat from cracked and highly recommended those too. But a big reason why I love this color is that you can make it as red or dark brown almost black as you want it depending on how many coats you do. If you're careful with application, you can get full coverage and a deep red brown in two coats. Perfect for all skin tones as well!

One that a friend picked out. Love dark reds and browns - this was a perfect combination of both. Said it went on smooth and loved the color.

For a creme I found it so easy to use! Very dark, one-coater (though it's more even with 2)

Beautiful color & smooth, level application! This is definitely going to be a staple in my collection.
Pictured here in 2 coats & layered in 1 coat over Thin Ice (glass bead).

Beautiful and almost a one-coater. Still looks juicy in spite of being a creme.

Gorgeous deep, dark red. Blackened, but still very clearly red even in low light. The formula has a bit of squish to it, and is perfectly opaque in three coats. It stained my nails the first time I used it, but using two coats of base eliminated that issue. LOVE this one.

Like all Cracked cremes, it applies like a dream. Super smooth, levels beautifully, esp if you go in for 2 coats. I will be wearing this a lot during the fall.

A beautiful dark red for Fall and Winter! Red is my favorite color and I love to read so it’s a great pick for me!

This isn't listed as a crelly, but I found it to be one. It's rich, self levels beautifully, and has that extra cushiony crelly look.

The formula of this cream is so rich, and the color is so sultry. Feels very grown-n-sexy. In low light, it looks similar to Chokeberry on me. However in direct light you see the burgundy/deep red undertones really come through.

Such a gorgeous dark red that's perfect for fall!

Perfect formula...

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
