I have been wanting to try the O.P.I Matte Top Coat for months now! Sadly it was always sold out in stores whenever I went hunting for it :( BUT thanks to Beauty Review my wish came true!
What an amazing product! It certainly lived up to my expectations!
Firstly I tried it over top of the Black Onyx colour and recreated the O.P.I black mani - I did a rather messy job though tehe. It looks great and was easy to use. I posted a pic to my FB page for friends to see. The response was huge! The pic received LOADS of likes and comments! I also posted my black mani to the Beauty FB page where it recieved more nice comments and likes - to be honest I was suprised since my tips weren't exactly straight lol - but it didn't seem to matter as everyone liked the idea and style of the O.P.I black mani.
Next I tied the Matte Top Coat over a red polish and WOW it looked fantastic! I really love the effect of the Matte polish as it creates a 2nd look with all my nail polishes (BTW I have lots...bit obsessed).
10/10 - BUY THEM NOW
NOW!
I would best describe this colour as: burgundy/bronze/magenta/cobalt . It has amazing highlights in it, and really did surprise me once on my nail. It's the sort of colour that I just usually wouldn't go for. But once I applied it on my nails my view changed completely. Unlike some of O.P.I nail polish's this is definitely one shade that you have to apply a second coat too, as it is simply to streaky to wear alone. And just wait till you see this colour in natural sunlight . it reflexes warm orange and merlot red tones . Amazing colour for winter.
Tips: You have to apply two coats with this colour . Try O.P.I Matte finish to tone the highlights down if its not for you, either way this colour Matte or glossy is pure class. Love wearing darker shades in the winter. Give it a go.
