I totally agree, Stef. I haven’t been into the matte look at all. I did get La Paz in the matte and agee, the colour is darker than the original version and I was not thrilled. I guess having a back-up is cool since I love the colour and can throw a topper on it and get a darker version of it and after seeing this, I’d like to try this look w/La Paz as well. What I’m loving about this mani is that I would normally never even give this shade a second glance but w/the way you did this look, I am now considering buying it to attempt your look on all my fingers, it’s very creative and original and makes it look really elegant. LOVE it! Somehow for me this shade is really suited to the matte that I’m not a fan of normally so THANK YOU for the awesome post, I really appreciate it!

I’m a HUGE fan of the mattes.. never seen them except for on blogs, they were not huge where I live at all.. Illamasqua scorn is my first matte, and it s not super matte, but I just ordered tons of the the very matte orly and opi on ebay.. looove the look!!

How many coats of the Matte top coat did you use?

Hmm..I don't think I can really get into the matte polish (on me). It's an interesting look to have the tips different.. but I definitely wouldn't have the patience to do that!

For years I loved shimmer but the last year I can't seem to find matte polishes that I am suddenly craving. I was happy to hear OPI was doing a matte line….now I am not. The look like flat wall paint to me. Something in between OPI's matte and shimmer is what I will continue to look for.

No, no, no!! Nails should be shiny, not matte. Blah. I hate this trend and I am willing to bet this style will not be a lasting look. A flash in the pan. Reminds me of when I put white out on my nails in high school when I was bored. UGLY.

That's a really nice matte finish OPI accomplished!
I have to stick up for matte top coats though, because I have two, Maybelline Matte Maker (you can find out how amazingly well it works at Steph's Closet) and Nubar For Men, and they both completely mattify the polish they're put on.
I think you should have let the Orly dry a bit more before taking the pics, or maybe tried one of those other top coats .

did you ever figure out about how long it wears?

I'm not sure it's for me either, but I like looking at your test nails. Does anyone remember Dior's venture into matte nails maybe 7 or 8 years ago. They had two matte shades, I think a nude and a pink maybe, and a matte top coat that would make any polish matte?
