This is one of those you get what you pay for. It is the cheap Crack nail polish and it takes 3 steps to get the look. First you put on a base coat then while it's still wet apply the Crack. Then add a clear top coat.(I highly recommend you do this or the Crack will just fall off). It looks good but is a bugger to get off. It comes in many colors and is fun to use if you have the time. Over all it's an okay product and it looks cool .
