That's How The Light Gets In is a black jelly with pink, green and purple iridescent flakies and silver reflective glitters.
This polish is sheer but buildable and looks best in 1-3 coats. Apply a base layer of Neutralizer underneath to help blur your visible nail line.
Texture Notice: This shade contains larger glitters and/or flakes that create a textured finish once dry. For a smoother finish, we recommend applying an extra layer of top coat.

As a short nail haver, I wondered if flakies were just not for me since I don’t like corralling them onto short nails or the inevitable bumps they create.
Idk what kind of magic this is, but 3 coats plus 2 coats of topcoat and this is perfect. The product pics capture the purple in the flakies, but in person the pink to purple to blue shift becomes more obvious. Huge fan of this one.
formula is actually pretty easy to work with - even though there's flakies, it isn't on the thicker side. 3 coats!
I don’t normally like too much glitter, but I decided to get this on a whim. I love it! The pinky purple flakes and delicate sparkle against the not quite black are the right kind of drama for my vestigial inner goth. I used two coats though it looked good at one.
I loved this polish from the very first swatch; it applied smoothly and looked true to the photos online. It's deep and moody with a little pizzazz. Very pleased! (I can't speak to the total longevity of the polish because I change my manicure every week, but it lasted the entire week with no chips.)
Beautiful finish, a bit sheer but the end result after three coats is worth it! So sparkly and with a great pop of color from the flakies.
Beautiful black jelly with sparkles. Unique in my collection and easy application. I had to use a thicker layer so the flakes wouldn’t catch and drag the color around. Two layers of top coat to smooth the surface
I love that the glitter mix is so pink and purple heavy, it really sets this black jelly flakie bomb apart from other common favorites like trick or trash from ht. in three coats, she is perfection!!
I absolutely adore this shade and the inspiration! Pictures don't do it justice for how fun and how the light catches the flakies. Application was super easy. Picture is of 3 coats but I easily could've gotten away with only 2.
the picture shows this polish over a purple base. it looks like stars and beams of light! i love it!!!
You should pick this up if you like glitters - it is like a punk glitter? I feel super cool when I wear it lol - great formula!
You can get a different look depending on how many coats, since the base is a black jelly.
Very sparkly. Base is more grey which I like.
I really like this polish, and it applies well!
Obsessed! This color could easily be used as a topper or built up on its own. Gorgeous in the sun!
A super gorgeous black jelly flakie! I'm not a fan of reflective glitter and I love this one!
Gorgeous and sparkly color. I love this lacquer. The color is vivid and can be edgy or sophisticated.
This one is so pretty. Big fan of the combo of glitters in this. 2 coats is good or one over solid black.
I’m not usually a fan of jelly polishes but this one is pretty on my nails! I love the purple glitters and how sparkly this looks on my nails, like looking into a little galaxy in a way.
This is How the Light Gets In is my DREAM shade... or should I say... the shade of all my lovely nightmares♡♡
GORGEOUS built up in 3 coats or used as a topper!!! Absolutely STUNNING!!!
What a beautiful color
Pretty glittery polish
This nail polish is beautiful
I love this glittering polish and pics don’t do it justice because it really is that stunning & has a fantastic formula!
I love a flakie polish from Cracked!
Great collab polish
a little mystery, a lot of fun
I really enjoyed this as a 90s emo kid. Took about 3 coats with no base color but you could get away with 1-2 if you layer over black.
Really beautiful polish, I thought it was going to be really bumpy but once I got the top coat on it was surprisingly smooth! Gorgeous black jelly in three coats, and I love the big pink flakies. I’m glad I got this one!
It's kind of funny that I saw this before knowing the theme of the collection, because the title and color really spoke to my "all things dark and spooky" haha. But I love the color! My picks are 2 coats over one thiiiick coat of Cracked's neutralizer (middle and ring finger)
