Matte About You: Matte Nail Polish

Oct 13, 2012

I recently purchased several new nail polish colors and already I am a bit bored with them. So, I took a tip from recent magazine articles and looked into matte nail polish, specifically Essie’s Matte About You matte top coat. This product

works just like a top coat; however, it leaves the nail with a matte, shine- free finish. I decided to try it with a few different colors, ranging

from dark to light, to test which colors look best with a matte finish.
