OPI Matte Top Coat

This product was so much fun to use! much like when the crackle was brought out, its abit of a novelty but having a completely new look to work with is really refreshing. The thing I love most is that you can now change up all those tired old colours you've used a thousand times and are rather bored of, and make something completely different. Lots of fun, nothing bad to say about it :-).

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

I bought this on sale and thought why not give it a go. It really does work! It can give your polishes a whole new life if you are sick of using the same colour and is just nice to use instead of the same old polish. The only negative I have about it, which is probably more my fault than this top coat's, is that the polish underneath the matte top coat (if not applied perfectly) can come out streaky looking once the matte top coat is applied. Again, probably more my inability to paint nails perfectly or impatience to wait until my nails are fully dry before putting on the top coat.

Would definitely recommend it (as it does work) and is really kind of fun use!

I love the effects you can create with this - although a steady hand and quite a bit of free time is required to create some of the looks (check the OPI website for ideas, there are many good ones on there). I prefer a mattified look for work rather than shiny, and this top coat achieves that well and is easy to apply.

I LOVE this but only on black polish (for me) and with a design of some sort on the top not just the matte alone, i did black with matte with black polish strips like zebra and i love them!! dries really well and looks great AMAZING!!

The best invention ever!!! Adds a little something to any colour but especially black! It looks amazing!

I love the concept of a matte-look nail polish, but I had my concerns about this top coat. I was so frustrated by the matte collection OPI created a few years back, so I was pleased to see positive reviews of the top coat on BR.

After purchasing the product and giving it a few good tries I am in agreement with most reviewers- this product is great!

Selecting a polish to wear underneath can be a bit hit-and-miss. I have found it is not likely to suit every colour in the collection, but much of this will be personal preference.

Typical OPI, great product, and oooh does it get the creative going! Have tried black french tips, both ways. polka dots, stripes... want to try more detailed designs, so much to do with such a versatile product. It does chip like any other nail polish and sadly my nail polish chips very fast, a good base coat helps though.

I'd been wanting to try this for such a long time! I gave a different twist to 'French' nails and swiped a coat of it on the tip of my nails and left the rest glossy. Works like a charm and dries super fast. Definitely a good thing to have if you wanted to mix it up with your manicures :)

Personally I am a fan of the mega shiny nails but this matte finish is awesome for nail art.

Its a bit on the slow side to set compared to other OPI top coats so you need to have a bit of patience or you'll end up smudged or with fluff all over it. I love using this as a dot effect with shiny nails or just the odd one of two painted matte.

Its long lasting too, and as I only use it on rare occasions its affordable as if you keep it in a dark place it keeps for a while. I never had any problem from flaking or chipping from this top coat either.
