I rushed to my nearest pharmacy as soon as I discovered this product was on the market as I have always admired matte look nails -especially black- and was not disappointed!
The price was typical of OPI nail polishes, around $20 which I have always found quite high to be paying for a nail polish, hence why I only own two other colours, but I was so keen to try matte nails that I bought it anyway.
I applied it to a black nail polish (not OPI) first and was not disappointed with the result! It goes on glossy and dries matte in 10-30 seconds. It is easy to apply (just like a normal polish), but can be hard to completely cover the nail polish underneath.
The downside was that it didn't really seem to work like a normal topcoat. I found that the polish chipped off faster than it did when I used a normal topcoat so would only last a day or two at most. I considered putting a normal topcoat over top but didn't want this to counteract the matte effect so decided against that.
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.
