I was really keen to try this out, I love the look of matte nails and I thought this product is such a good idea to turn any nail polish matte. I like the packaging of the top coat and I like that you can clearly see the difference between this top coat and others. When I first used it, I was very surprised about how quickly it turns your nail polish matte, it is almost instantly. It worked with any brand of nail polish I had. I noticed however that it wasn't the best at protecting the nail polish and would find it would chip after a day or two of wear. I saw somewhere that it is a good idea to put a normal top coat under this one to help with chipping which I tried but it didn't help much. I also noticed that after a week or so, the nails were no longer matte, like the top coat had worn off. I think it is a good product that makes your nails go matte but you might have to change your nail polish every couple of days to stop it from chipping.

I definitely need to experiment with this one! I did love the matte finish but i found it took off layers of polish underneath if i hadn't allowed enough drying time. It does fade very quickly but i found if you apply a normal topcoat it goes back to being a glossy nail. So no needing to fully take all your nail polish off if you are wanting to freshen it up.
I was surprised with this top coat as it was so hyped up. It was very expensive compared to other top coats and while it dd give a nice finish to my nails, it then chipped very easily which was disappointing. I wore this top coat with my OPI nail polishes a few times and I would need to take it off again the next day because it chipped. Also, it went gluggy very quickly which was disappointing as it didn't give enough time to use the whole bottle (5 months after purchase, it went gluggy)
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.
Tips: Try it out of glitter nail polish
This top coat is the best! I love it so much, only need to apply one coat and it turns any old boring nail polish into a flawless matte colour. Makes the nail polish look classy and amazing! Easy way to save money as you can use it with any existing colours and can transform a look. Goes on extremely smoothly and is not gluggy at all. Sometimes the lid gets stuck but with a bit of elbow grease, it comes right off!
I’m a very big nail polish person so thought that a matte top coat would be a game changer with my existing nail polishes. I bought this one which true to form does work very well at making polishes matte and looks super cool however ever time I use it it chips after about twelve hours which is incredibly irritating as it has no staying power my manicures when I use this last for around two days
I actually really enjoyed this matte top coat. I got it as a free gift with purchase at famers last year and thought it would be quite interesting to try out. Sometimes you just a bit of a matte top coat in ya life.
It came in the normal little OPI bottle and black lid however if I remember correctly the bottle feels like frosted glass to represent the matte top coat.
It's so simple to use - paint your nails the colour you want then once dry apply the top coat on top and voila you have a matte mani! I really enjoyed using it. It was something a little different. I don't know if I would go as far as recommending it it wasn't a life changing product but it was fun to experiment and I will definitely use it again.
Tips: Make sure you paint the bottom layer evenly because the matte coat shows up any imperfections.
