Fall is almost here and matte nail polishes are trending! You can buy matte nail polishes or just buy a matte top coat and use it on top of any colour you like! I picked Dior #943 to do my swatches.
I got 3 top coats and I was hopeful that I would like them all!
Butter London Matte Finish Shine Free Top coat: It’s definitely matte, but when I apply it the nail polish under moves with every brush stroke I feel like the colour base is getting thinner and thinner, so you should either apply it really gently and in light strokes or you’re going to have an uneven nail polish. On the bright side, it dries quickly.
Chanel Top Coat Velvet: I was really disappointed in this one, maybe because I had high expectations for it, it’s too runny/thin so it can form a thick layer of top coat which took a long time to dry. I ended up taking off the nail polish and reapplying it, it got better so I guess the key is to make sure your base colour is fully dry before applying your matte top coat.
Julep: The winner! I really loved this one. It applies really smoothly, has the perfect consistency, and it dries quickly!
Are you loving matte nail polish? Have you tried any?

I have tiny fingernails 🙁
I once bought a navy blue matte nail polish, but absolutely hated it! My nails looked like that of an 8 year old’s who colored her nails with a pen in a boring class. I’ve been avoiding mattes ever since. But now, I decided to give it another chance. I’m excited to see how it goes.
