Matte About You

A simple but edgy look is always black nail polish but this is putting a bit of a twist on the classic black polish. I first heard about matte nail polish in a magazine about two years ago where they described a look they did for Kim Kardashian doing a French manicure using only black nail polish and the matte top coat. It sounded pretty cool at the time but I never came across matte nail polish in the nail section until recently at Wal-Mart and then I started noticing them everywhere. So I decided to try it out and I am in love! Its easy and simple and gives your manicure something cute to admire.

1.       First start off with two coats of your favorite black polish. I’m using Orly in Liquid Vinyl and let dry.

2.       Then apply on coat of the Matte top coat. I picked up Essies Matte About You for like 7 bucks at Wal-Mart, I’ve also seen Revlon has some matte color collection and Hard Candy also has a Matte top coat in stores.

3.       And last paint a curved line using clear nail polish across the edge of your nails like if you were doing a French tip manicure.

And Taaa-daa! Cute fun and edgy right at your finger tips!
