OPI Matte Top Coat

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.

This matte top coat is cool on some polishes, not that great on others! The idea of a matte top coat is awesome, but it just wasn't quite what I was hoping for! It didn't work too hugely well as a top coat, either, found that the nail polish chipped quite quickly after application. However, it has a nice texture and goes on smoothly and easily. Some polishes I put it on, it had a really cool effect, but most, it just looked kinda weird and didn't turn out as I had hoped!

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

Does it's job in mattifying perfectly but does not function well as a top coat! Also does smear designs so lay it on thick! It chips so easily!

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 bought this in a top coat combo pack, and applied it over black first. I didn't like how if you get something oily (like hair product etc) on them, they sorta just look shiny again. I tried the second time with a green and this came out better so apparently it's just dependant on what you do and the colours you add underneath!

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.

I got this as a free gift with purchase and found it didn't work that great for me. It looked awesome after the first application but after a few days the matte started to 'wear' off any my nails appeared a bit patchy. Parts of them were matte and other bits where the matte top coat had worn off looked quite gross.

I handle cash at work so found that probably contributed to the top coat wearing off. My nails scraping against the little compartments of the till drawers didn't help the longevity of the polish.

Anyone who knows me will know how much of a huge OPI fan I am. When they bought out the Matte top coat I felt like I had just doubled my collection.

This matte top coat works really well. Goes on easily just like any other top coat and as it dries, goes matte. It actually dries quite fast too.

You really have to make sure you colour is layered up well, if you can see any part of natural nail through this it will enhance it and look like a rushed job.

It can dull down some of the brighter colours as well as it can lighten(grey up) the darks.

This lasts about a week before I see any wear or chipping
