What it is: A crackle top coat to create a gorgeous nail art effect in minutes.What it does: Create a gorgeous nail art effect using these innovative new crackle polishes. Simply apply crackle over your favorite nails inc. polish and watch the magic happen your base color will appear through the crack. Crackle is also the perfect day to night effect. Transform the color you have been wearing during the day by applying the crackle top coat. It's so easy to do and looks like you have spent hours creating a design. Experiment with different color combinations at home or on the go! What else you need to know:Every crackle also needs a base color. It does not work on a natural nail. The polish shade should always be lighter and a contrasting color to the crackle.

Islington Pink Crackle top coat looks stunning over Floral Street white polish. What it is formulated WITHOUT:- Parabens- Sulfates- Synthetic Fragrances- Phthalates- GMOs- Triclosan

Review 5 for Special Effects Crackle Top Coats
Opaque just like the picture
-02.22.13
I really like this nail polish. I've tried several of SEPHORA by OPI Blasted Nail Colour and none of them worked for me. This one is a solid opaque color and would show on top of any nail polish you have underneath. I got the Islington pink.

Review 6 for Special Effects Crackle Top Coats
Really cool
-01.21.13
This nail polish is really a cool effect! Takes a very long time to dry. The Sephora blasted by OPI dries much quicker but has a slightly different effect bi would def recommend this. I got in Camden Black and looks great with any light color underneath it!

Review 7 for Special Effects Crackle Top Coats
Underwhelming
-08.13.12
This product did not deliver as I expected at all. Applying as directed, I was not able to obtain a good crackle appearance. Instead, this polish looked clumpy and messy once dried. Would NOT recommend.

Review 8 for Special Effects Crackle Top Coats
Cute Crackle Effect
-08.10.12
I'm in love with this polish. Most Crackle polish doesn't work, but this one did. I love this product and it works great. You just can't clump it on your fingernails. You have to just give it one good brush and then its good to go.

Review 10 for Special Effects Crackle Top Coats
Beautiful
-07.30.12
I bought the gold, and it matches my complexion perfectly. At first it was hard to find other colors that could go as a base coat, but I found one; a baby pink. I swim regularly, so the nail polish only stays on for at least a week. But when it chips is looks like it is part of the design, so it' s good. I put a fast dry top coat on top so it drys quickly.

Review 13 for Special Effects Crackle Top Coats
Gold Crackle
-07.18.12
I Have the Gold glittler, it looks like gold foil more than gold glitter. Its pretty thought. This crackles into large chuncks, rather than small pieces. This causes the gold to show more than the base color. I wish it was the other way around. You can apply this a few minutes (about 3min) after the base color, even if the base color is still wet, which saves on time. I find that when I apply on still wet nails, as the polish dries, the breaks widen so that more base color peaks thru. When applying, make sure to only do one layer, or else it will not crackle over layered areas. This chips at the same rate as the base color it lays on.

Review 15 for Special Effects Crackle Top Coats
Cracks very good
-06.27.12
Quick Take: not think, crackles good
I bought them in gold, silver, pink and purple. I like them all. It cracks very well on dry or wet nail polish. Also it has not got all clumpy and thick like many of the other crackle polishes such as the OPI blasted. The OPI blasted polish is pretty bad, and I am a manicurist.

Review 16 for Special Effects Crackle Top Coats
Nail Polish Addict in Love!
-06.22.12
Quick Take: quick dry, great range of colors, best glitter polish, best overcoats, excellent value because it looks so great
I love Nails inc. From their kits to the crackle top coats to the glitter they are hands down my fave. I love to put a gorgeous color like the fushia glitter as a base and then use a purple special effects on top of it. Then a super glossy topcoat and you have a look that is unusual and eyecatching, something most of us try to do in the summer when we wear fun clothes and makeup. I highly recommend Nails Inc period. It;s a great brand and does not ever disappoint!!

Review 17 for Special Effects Crackle Top Coats
shoulda gone with OPI
-04.28.12
Quick Take: fast-drying
this didn't work AT ALL for me. the color of gold is really pretty and i was really looking forward to layering it over a bunch of different colors. when i used it over a dark pink it hardly crackled at all. it was like i had used a regular gold that just happened to have a few streaks that showed the base color. very disappointed in this purchase.
