So after using a base coat, I put on two coats of the red nail polish.
As you can see the nails are rather shiny, which is something I usually love about OPI! Even without a top coat they always look shiny and you can't see brush marks even with only one coat. So once the nails were dry (and you want to make sure they're really dry because otherwise you get the color all over the top coat's brush and then it gets into the polish and it's really never very good!)
Ok so ignore all the imperfections.. I'm not a professional and EVERY mistake shows up when you use red... but this is what they look like with the Matte. The picture doesn't quite do it justice because there is a bit of glare but you can definitely see a difference. The thing with the Matte polish is that when you initially put it on it just looks like another top coat. It isn't until after it drys that you can see the dullness of a Matte. You do have to be careful though because you can see how thick the polish is once it dries, so make sure you have an even coat of Matte polish.
Overall, I'm really glad I bought this polish. I paid $9.00 for each bottle of nail polish because my favorite store went and raised the price (but I always have coupons so it's never quite that much.) I like that I can use it with any other color and really any other polish, it doesn't have to be OPI, I just happened to have a lot of OPI! It dries fairly quickly and definitely faster than a traditional top coat. The final texture of my nails now is very soft but they still have that same sturdy hardness that I've come to love from OPI top coats. If you want Matte nails, I would highly recommend it!
What is you're favorite type of Matte? Lips? Nails? Tell me!
