O.P.I Matte top coat

This is a must have nail polish in anyone's collections. It can tone down those super shiny colours. And by applying the matte top coat I found it really helped my nail polish set, and left it with a streak free matte finish. This polish really does what it says it does. I would definitely repurchase this. I found this matte top coat works really well on reds ect ... that I don't really wear. As it toned them down . Really happy with this product.

Tips: To try out what O.P.I matte finish will do to your fav nail polish I suggest you have a little play around with it. I choose 10 of my fav colours painted each nail a different colour. Apply O.P.I matte finish on top and its amazing to see how it transforms each colour. Don't apply over glitter polish though as it will take the sparkle out of each speck. This top coat drys supper fast so work quickly. you only need one coat.

Opi Matte Top Coat

after being completely in love with the Black Matte french manicure and seeing the reviews on here i decided to give this a try.

i was surprised to see how thick it is and it took me a bit of fiddling to work out just how much to use, however i found that if i use a decent amount i get a nice smooth finish, if i wipe the brush a little like i do with nail polish it can make the polish underneath streaky and it really doesnt look as nice.

its a cool concept and im having fun playing around with it and seeing what other things i can come up with. ive had no issues with chipping and it dries superfast!

i can see myself going through more than 1 bottle of this one, i really like it

Tips: make sure the polish underneath is super dry before applying the matte coat, i found it easier to apply the matte coat over the whole nail then use a shiny top coat to add detail like a strip across the top of the nail.

I wondered if you needed to use it thick to get a perfect finish, so thank you for posting that. Next time I am out shopping I am getting myself some.

Matte-fy

I always feel so awkward with bright shiny nail polish colours and using this to matte-fy my colours has meant that I can use any bright colours comfortably. It's so quick and easy to use.

Tips: Make sure the underlying colour is completely dry, and if some does manage to bleed onto the brush use a piece of tissue or paper to wipe the brush clean.

Best

I love this top coat. It was well worth the money I spent on it. I love that it gives your polish a different look and sometimes it looks like you have a completely different look on. 5/5 for me

Tips: Make sure your nail polish is quite dry before applying otherwise it can smear your polish!

Great matte top coat!

I bought these the along with some liquid sand polishes because I wanted a super matte look. This works really well and I can do so many nail designs with this. I'm a total nail fanatic and I've always loved OPI polishes. This one adds a subtle classy look and the matte trend is huge right now. The lasting power is pretty good especially if I wear a coat of clear under the matte. This is great especially if you've loads of polishes already and just want to change it up a bit.

Tips: A super simple yet awesome trick is do a French manicure with the matte on only the tips or coat the whole nail with matte and then put a strip of clear top coat on the tips. Another favourite of mine is to use a super glittery polish and put matte on top to give it a look similar to the liquid sand collection by OPI

Matte perfection

I love the look of nail art but unfortunately my skill level doesn't quite match my Pinterest board ideals! After seeing an awesome matte mani on Beauty Review I really wanted to give it a try myself so when OPI top coats were on special at Farmers I had to pick it up.

The formula applied just like any standard OPI Polish, not too runny. The brush is a good size, three strokes is enough to cover a nail evenly. I like that with the Matte top coat one coat was all I needed to transform my glossy nails to matte perfection. The final effect was chic and stylish and I found it helped extend the life of my polish another day without chipping which was great.

Highly recommend this top coat for any nail polish lover as its so easy to use with any colour.

Matte-ly in love

The matte look has become quite popular. I love trying different nail looks, and I wasn't actually a fan of the matte look to begin with, but as it became more popular it grew on me and I decided to give this polish a try. I actually quite like this polish now. I am a big fan of opi polishes and this one doesn't disappoint.

This polish is easy to apply, the formula is smooth and you are able to apply the polish in three nice strokes for each nail (two for my pinkys). The polish applies without any streaking or bubbling and makes an even top coat surface. The "matte effect" actually happens quicker than you would think. You can see the magic happen within about five seconds as the polish begins to dry. And oddly enough the surface is very smooth and slippery, it feels like normal polish. I thought being matte the texture would change. I was also surprised at how matte the finish look ended up being as I only needed one coat and that was enough. This top coat lasts just as long as normal opi polish, which for me is 5-7 days without any chipping.

The brush is nice and big, just like a typical opi brush, and the bristles spread out nicely to cover polish all over your nail. The bottle is also the standard opi bottle, black lid but instead of a clear glass bottle the glass is misted to give the matte effect, which I think is pretty cool.

Overall, I really like this nail polish. The application is good, brush is easy to use, and it lasts a decent amount of time on your nails. I love how versatile the polish is, you can use it on any nail colour (although some colours work better than others) and it pretty much double your nail collection by giving you different looks.

Tips: Tip make sure to coat the nail completely with the matte top coat, as any gaps are really obvious and leave shiny gaps poking out.

Thanks Macs! I like how versatile it is as you can use it on any colour. If you like different textures you can also apply it over a glitter polish as it creates a liquid sand kind of look.

I'd love to try this nail polish. I haven't tried mattes yet. I like to try different textures. Great review.
