Going matte

Despite owning a decent matte top coat for nearly two years, I rarely go for matte nails. Something about the awful durability and the fade factor that I don't like.
After Tumblring my life away and seeing some rather inspiring blog posts, I matted. With a trusty base of OPI's Light My Sapphire I added China Glaze Matte Magic.


I bought mine from Head2Toe Beauty, which is a US site. I got mine delivered to my brother in America, but I'm almost certain they ship internationally and they have every China Glaze and O.P.I you could want.
For an easier option, pretty much all 'high street' brands are doing them in the UK now. Namely 17, Rimmel & Models Own.



Can't say it lasted the longest, but it's definitely interesting to look at. I'll be picking up the Matte Magic more often.

  4. I love going matte with a lot of things, but when it comes to nails, I dunno the colours just seem to pop and look more "clean" with a nice glossy top coat. I do like the matte black though kind of reminds me of a matte black hot rod you'd see back in the 40's-50's

    I must admit though like you said i really dont go too near the whole matt nail polish trend, somthing about the texture, its a bit yukky right?
