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!
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.
