According to InStyle mag, you can use a basecoat as a topcoat – some extra protection without so much glossiness. Not true matte, but might help…

So happy to see Matte. I have been a shimmer girl for years but lately find myself looking for Matte and finding very little.

I cannot wait to see the new colors in store!! I have been painting a matte topcoat on my nails forever and I’m glad it’s finally catching on.

hmmm, I think I’ll have to see these before getting any, so far I prefer the nail finish to be shiny

But I do like blues a lot, so if any, I’d get Russian Navy

Orly's Matte top coat is NOT quick dry, which is why I don't use it that often.

I have hear Nubar's Matte top coat (V for Men) is good, too.

I think putting a Matte top on a color you like also tends to help it last longer - just like a normal top coat. At least, that has been my experience.

Also, Matte top coats really emphasize any imperfection in your polish...so make sure there are no bubbles or nicks!

I have the Knockout (KO) black matte polish that came out a few months back. It’s one coat, super thick. The first day you wear it, it’s really matte, then gradually gets glossier as the days go on (never up to full gloss though). I use lotion every day and didn’t notice it affect the polish. These OPI’s will probably be pretty similar. That white will be HOT.

Shojo Flash, you can definately find Gargantuan Green Grape at http://www.transdesign.com, they have lots of seasonal and discontinued colors.

I’m most definatly gonna try these matte polishes, I have all those colors in the regular fomula and might just get all in matte too. Woo Hoo, I can’t wait!!!

Hi Michelle:

I can see using a matte nail for men, I use OPI Matte Nail Envy myself, it’s clear and has no gloss. But I would have a hard time using these mattes without hand or foot lotions, LOL

BTW-Did you see my post of your web blog on MY G Spot?

(((((huggs)))))

Love,

George

I have in my stash a matte topcoat made by Shisheido (spell??) from years ago. Betcha they re-release it.

OPI makes a great Nail Envy in matte finish which is great for guy’s manicures.. but I use it when I hafta cut off my nails; it’s a great treatment.. and does last. But it’s true: the matte wears off if you put any polish over it, OR if you use dry drops or lotion. But it’s a startling top coat on any color.
