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?

I love the matte look. I like how it's not too in-your-face.

Speaking of….can you get matte polishes in store at the moment?

I'm actually really loving what you did on your ring finger. I love the contrast between shine and matte.

Do you remember when white out used to come in all kinds of pastel shades? When I was at my dad's office on the weekends I would paint my nails with all the colors. Looks pretty similar in finish.
