There are so many great things about this brand, the unique names, the expansive color line. However, Whack is Crack (IAH, George Bush), is only an okay polish for me. Crackle polishes have been done and phased out from every major player, (OPI, China Glaze, etc.), for a few years now. Perhaps they are having people try these to get their name out there, since most people are no longer buying the crackle finishes.
However, if you were to ignore the fact that this particular polish is no longer on trend there is much to like about it.
For starters, the bigger Uslu bottles sport an amazing slightly wide flat paddle brush with a curved end. This puts the polish down perfectly right at the cuticle line, without flooding, or having to be an expert at angling a regular flat cut brush. It spreads out, covering almost the entire nail plate, so that I can get the polish down in about two passes, saving time and eliminating any errant brush strokes or balding.
The formula is creamy, and applies smoothly. Its not thin or watery, nor is it gloppy. Just know that because of the nature of crackle polishes it does dry extremely fast, and if you aren't careful it will dry on your brush creating drag spots.  Though the pigmentation on this black was not as rich as I'd like, it's a crackle, so the point is to see the polish underneath, therefore I'll give it a pass.
I know the instructions say to use two coats, and on probably any of their other colors you should and would, this is a specialty top coat... you aren't going to do two coats, because it won't work to create the crackle effect. It will make a bumpy mess, leaving others to wonder if you let a child do your nails for you.
While the crackle effect dries matte, use a top coat. If you don't it will flake off after a day or so. Such is the nature of both mattes and crackles.
All in all it's a good brand, love the bottles and presentation, but on this particular finish it's a fashion pass.
