A great matte top coat

This is the first and only matte top coat I’ve ever used. I’m not a huge fan of matte nails (I prefer shiny) but on the odd occasion when I’m feeling it, this does the trick. It mattifies quite quickly and leaves the nails with a drier feeling compared to a shiny top coat.

Tips: Can slightly alter the colour of your nail polish when matte and picks up colour very easily if it’s not completely dry.

Matte my nails!

I picked this up on a whim and wasn't quite prepared for how in love with it I would end up!

Sally Hansen big matter top coat polish comes in a funky frosted glass bottle, with pink and black block lettering, and a black screw cap housing a nylon brush. The brush is decent - a good width and easy to achieve full nail application with.

The polish applies smoothly, and looks clear but 'clouds' over soon after, giving the matte finish to any polish you use it with. You can apply multiple layers, but one works fine - don't follow it with a gloss top coat though or you'll lose the effect!

With this on top of a good quality polish I easily get a week with only minor chipping around the edges.

Basically, this top coat easily transforms any of your glossier finish polishes into matte finish ones, doubling your polish collection and allowing you the freedom to choose between matte and gloss for the colours you love.

Highly recommended if you love the on-trend matte finish!

Tips: as alway, a good base coat and decent quality colour polish will result in a more even application and prolonged durability :)

I was hoping this was good, I've been looking at it on beauty joint for ages now but didn't actually think it would work.

Matte?

We all need a choice shiny top coat, mega shine top coat, chip resistant top coat (Really?!) and one that I didn't have was matte. What I great idea I thought it could potentially give all my polishes a different colour, so feeling pleased with myself I gave it a whirl over top of my newly painted nails which were a Sally Hansen neon blue.

The bottle is a thin square bottle with the brush that is a favourite for me with the rounded corners. I apply 1 coat over the neon and watched it change from a bright blue to very matte and dull.

I have only one issue with this and that is, its streaky. The Matte finish looks different but I'm not sure I'm completely in love with it. I have tried it with several different colours and nail polish brands and to me my nails look dull and almost like my nail polish is 3 weeks old and the slight streakiness annoys me. I don't think I want to be going matte anytime soon I think I will stick to the shiny top coats. Not what I was expecting

super matte

I love this top coat I have always wanted to do matte nails at home and know I can. I always wondered how do they make nail polish matte now I know how. I simply apply what ever colour I want to matte out a few layers let that dry completely, then apply 2 layers of matte top coat letting one dry after another. And there you go awesome super matte mails.

Matte.. Kind of.

I picked this up because I didn't want to shell out for the OPI matte top coat haha.

I do like it, it applies well but you have to be careful near the base of the nail because it can shift the colour underneath when you put the brush against your nail.

It dries quickly on bare nails (and looks really cool!) but I do find it lengthens the drying time when applied over a colour.

As for the matte effect - I find this doesn't make my nails truly matte, slightly more on the satin matte side, and the mattifying effect wears off over several days.

For the price, it's decent, however if you want a truly matte polish that stays matte, I probably wouldn't purchase this.

Tips: Use it as a basecoat for light polishes - it helps them apply less streaky and opaque in fewer coats!

I was thinking of getting this because I also didn't want to pay for the OPI one haha. But I might just wait a bit and spend the extra if this isn't so great. Thanks for the helpful review! :)

If you want Matte, you'll get it!

After searching locally for a Matte top coat, finally I was out of town & had browing minutes to find this beauty! I like Sally Hansen products, they do what they say they will. So with this you get a top coat, which dries quickly, over any normal polish to create a Matte look. Of course, now I'm just not sure Matte is what I want, but so happy to play! It even worked over normal clear polish to look like I want wearing any!

Been wanting this for ages

After humming and aaahing over this for ages i finally got it and i love it it works similar to the 'crackle' effect top coats that were all the rage not long ago

just paint over a dry base coat (even worked over my gel) and as it dries it creates the 'matte' effect

i was impressed as it dried super quickly too

highly recommend

Instantly Double your Polish Collection

I LOVE THIS!!!!

I initially bought it to do matte black nails after seeing some and becoming obsessed. It delivered and it was all that I dreamed it would be. I was in bogan heaven. My nails looked like alkathene pipe.

Pretty soon I was mattifying all my polishes. It really transforms the colours and makes them look like they've been dipped in plastic. I especially love it with bright candy/neon colours.

The brush is unremarkable, not brilliant but certainly usable. The packaging is quite funky I like it.

As a top coat I think it does a fair job it seemed to slightly prolong the polish. It's not bulletproof, however it doesn't claim to be. I guess you could apply a more robust top coat overtop if you wanted.

My one slight issue with this is that after a few days it tends to be more dull than matte, almost dirty looking. I think the fun factor overrides this though.

Tips: Have fun with this. It really will give all your old shades a whole difference look and a new lease on life.
