Works Beautifully, this is how I get the look with Mia Secret Crackle Nail Polish...
I bought the Mia Secret Crackle in Red and have it in Black. Both work beautifully. Key to getting the look on natural nails, to me anyway, is to apply at least 2 coats of the color you are going to be applying the Crackle over.Make sure it's completely dry, than apply the Mia Crackle Nail Polish over it. I've found depending on whether you put it on thicker, one coat, makes the crackle with larger cracks, put on thin coat and it makes real fine cracks..I apply one coat down the middle first and than one on each side of the center stroke of Crackle..Works beautifully for me...I let the Crackle dry for a few minutes and than apply a top coat over the crackle Nail Polish and it makes the crackle work even better. I've found it takes maybe up to 10 minutes for the crackle to become prominent like you may like. That look as the professionals does. Patience I've found, is the key to getting that look too, and lots of practice. I had to learn the Technique too, so it took me several tries to get it to look like I wanted..Once I figured it out, and it does a "Beautiful Crackle" on Natural nails too!..I love the look..I've got the OPI Crackle in the Silver and I can't tell any difference between the 2 brands except for the price of it..Mia Crackle is awesome, I'm buying even more of it because it does such a wonderful job..Hope this helps others who might be having problems getting the look..

It does not work
It does not work! I purchase the red crackle polish as well as the white crackle by Mia Secret and it does not work at all!!!!!!!! I would not recommend this product for anyone! I think my mistake was shopping outside of OPI products because my black crackle polish from OPI is Awesome.

Does not work.
I bought the 12 pc set. It does not work!! The polish did not crackle at all and the finish is like chalk or a flat paint. Dull, no shine at all. I am so disappointed.

This product is ok
This product is ok. They do not provide you with directions, so if you put it on natural nails, you need to apply a base coat first, or it won't crackle.
