OPI Matte Top Coat

I was given this to try out and It definitely does what it says it does. I do like it on certain colours but not on others. Would be great for creating different designs. I am not blown away by it but that's only because I prefer shiny nails :p

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.

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.

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 adore this matte topcoat! My one and only complaint is that it doesn't last. After 2-3 days (depending what I've been doing with my hands) the matte just disappears. I love how it completely changes the look of a boring old manicure. I'm not sure how protective it is either - i always file my nails and use a basecoat but my manicures always chip after a day or two! Love love love the look of it though so would definitely recommend!

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

i love opi nail polishes so i decided to try this one out to see if it would really turn my nail polish matte and i loved the results. i applied this polish to a black polish and in seconds it turned from glossy to matte. i however noticed that it chipped alot faster than just having normal polish on but they may be because the black i used was a cheap polish and not a opi, so next time i will try this out with a opi polish and see if the results turn out different. if you like matte nails i recommend this product for you as it would be cheaper to buy one polish to do the job instead of buying lots of matte polishes

I really love the OPI nail polishes! This is no exception. perfect is you are looking for something different for your nails or the statement nail ! It drys so quickly so you don't have to spend forever waiting for it to dry !

I love opi Matte Top Coat as it changes the look of all my styles of nail polish and is definetly worth the money! It dries quickly and lasts a long time. One of my favourite top coats. I also use when I don't want a shiny finish to my nail look (:

Buying this is like doubling your nail polish collection!! I prefer the shiny nail look, but you can create designs on your nails that incorporates both or have a 'feature nail'. Dots of matte look really cute. I would say it's more of a frosted look than matte, to me matte says it's quite flat - but this has a texture to it. One downside - I have found that it chips quite quickly, this doesn't bother me too much as I get bored quickly and change my polish frequently - but might frustrate people that want a look that lasts a bit longer. Definitely worth purchasing to change things up a bit though.
