Goopey, stringy, and never seems to dry completely. The formula is way too thick even with a brand new bottle! OPI's shatter formula is much better and easier to work with.

YUCK just messy, dries entirely too quick, leaves a very matte pastey feel, reminded me of white-out looks like when applied to the nail when I was a kid (but black of course). Just nasty, I have...

When the shatter trend was hot I went right out and bought OPI's shatter (in black) and was so disappointed. It was gloopy and SO thick! Then a friend told me China Glaze had their own version...

I have a couple black crackle polishes, and this one is by far my favorite. It was easy to apply, not messy, and crackles nicely!

As for all of the crackle polishes, I've found that you have to shake them really well. I have these in all the colors besides purple, btw. I haven't tried any OPI shatters but I still like this a...

I love the concept of this but did not like the final result. Yes it was crackly, but it was also messy and thick. it took a while to get the application right and even then, it dried too quick...

Definitely a cheaper alternative to OPI's black shatter. It's basically the same and crackles just as much as the shatter would.

I like this for something different but it isn't my favorite. The only color I like it over is white. In my opinion if you put it over any other color the black just over powers it. Application is...

Not a fan of this black crackle from China Glaze. I don't know if I got a bad bottle or what but the formula seemed to be very thick and gloppy.

This is a matte black crackle topcoat. I've tried it over a metallic bright blue on my toes and a shimmery orange on my nails, and I absolutely love it - it crackles a lot more than Platinum...

The crackle effect is perfect, as long as you maintain the polish. Every once in a while I have to thin mine out, and almost every time I open the bottle, I clean around the neck of it. Other than...

I bought this product the other day and I was impressed! It took me a couple of tries to get the application correct. Keep in mind that your base coat of nail polish must be absolutely dry for it...

I have tried using this twice now and always on top of dry polish. Whenever I apply a thin layer for finer crackles it just doesn't crackle at all. I have to go over with a second layer but then I...

Maybe its my application technique, but for me, this is always hit or miss. Sometimes, it crackles great and leaves a really awesome looking design - sometimes, it doesn't crackle at all and just...

The trick is to apply this kind of thick and quickly, do not take your time and try to be super precise with it. If you do 3 seperate strokes I find that it creates a stretched out crackle that...
