I know a lot of people still haven't embraced the matte look, others think it's horrendous (my cousin compares it to felt tip pens) but I have to say that I quite like it. It's not as versatile as a regular gloss finish polish, but for me, it serves it's purpose.
Blue Suede is nothing like OPI Russian Navy Matte, which I don't own but have tried. This is a gorgeous navy with a dusty satin shimmer.
I actually wore a base coat with this polish as I was afraid to stain my nails and it still applied smoothly, without major dragging or patchy problems.
I then added some Zoya Trixie french tips and some rhinestones. I couldn't think of what else to do with a matte polish. I did consider some stamping but I was sure it wouldn't hold without a top coat and it would probably make it look like chalk board!
I was curious to see what this particular colour looked like with a glossy finish so I added a top coat of SV, but concluded that this matte should be left as it is:
This is amazing!!! I just love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's going right on my wish and shopping list (if I find it on-line...)<3
I agree- it's better left matte! I tried my first matte this morning and huge fail! It was a patchy streaky mess. This is a beautiful blue mani! Plus I added you to my blogroll!
ReplyDeleteI really like this, and love the matte look. I think the silver tips were a great addition.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you ladies liked this matter look :-) I find Orly mattes really easy to work with, same as the Plastix Collection and both have awesome finishes that aren't chalky!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks nice both ways :)
