OPI Matte Top Coat

I don't personally own this OPI polish but my sister does and she let me use it. I think this is a really awesome top coat, especially for those people who love their pastel colours as this makes almost any colour turn pastel. I prefer matte over a shiny polish as i think it makes your nails look better, but i guess others may have a different opinion/perspective. If i find this nail polish i will probably buy one for myself as i think it is a really good top coat :)

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.

I was using Essie Matte About You until I bought this, and now it just sits on my shelf unused. Not because it's bad but because this is way way better! My favourite thing about this top coat is that the wide brush makes it easy to do almost the whole nail in one go. This is quite important with matte top coats because I have found that, generally, they dry pretty fast and so you don't have too much time trying to get it perfect. The downside is that if the polish underneath is not very close to dry, it will smudge it. Usually I would wait for a bit before applying a top coat anyway, so this doesn't bother me. If you're looking for a good matte top coat, I would definitely suggest this one. Don't waste your money buying a billion matte nail polishes when this does all the work for you ;P

I was sure some nail colours in my collection would work perfectly with a matte top coat so I invested in this bad boy after months of drooling over images of matte nails.

The brush is the same handy size as all other OPI polishes. It glides on super easy and dries down fully within a minute which is awesome! If used on its own it doesn't tend to last quite as long (re chips etc) as a standard top coat, so I will often use it applied over my normal top coat - this also gives a slightly more cleaner looking finish.

You want to make sure you cover every inch of your nail when applying this top coat as any part of the nail that is missed will stand out. The nail colours I love to use most with this top coat are a light blue based grey and a deep dark red. It's a great addition to any nail polish collection!

I find this a very nice matte top coat, for normal polish and over gel polish. Gives a nice flawless matte finish! Easy to apply! Simple as that. It's great because you can turn a glossy polish into a matte finish, on all nails or just a feature one.

Love that I can turn any glossy nail polish into a beautiful Matte look <3 Also love how there are so many different nail arts you can do with this product. It's great fun

I was pretty excited when this came out because there was something new for me to play around with. I bought it from Farmers sometime last year on a deal. It’s contained in a 15ml mattified glass bottle with a brush. It doesn’t look clear like the normal top coat as it looks more like a thick glue-like consistency.

After the nail polish dried on my nails, I applied a thin layer of the Matte Top Coat and it dried quite quickly. I could see the difference immediately. The nail polish went from a shiny look to a completely mattified look. It has the same affect on glitter nail polish, which I love the look of. The nail polish remained matte and lasted on my nails for few days before starting to chip.

I haven’t come across any other Matte Top Coats, so I recommend this one. It may be a little pricey, but the best time is probably to purchase it during sales to save a little bit of money.
