I just want to remind everyone that I now have a Facebook fan page. You can like it on the right sidebar, that is if you like me! :P
One of the nail trends I never got into was matte polish. There is something about the look and the texture that bothers me. The few matte polishes I own I always add top coat to. It wasn't until I saw this post on Ali's Nail News, that I knew I had to get a matte top coat just for this reason. Glitter with matte top coat is amaizing!
Milani Gems over WnW Black Creme topped with Essie Matte About You
This is amazing! I love the look of this. I still don't care for the texture of my nails mattified, but I'll make a compromise for this look! I think I actually prefer this glitter matte than shiny. :)
Happy Monday!
I also have never got into the matte polishes, but lately have been getting the urge to try them. This is an amazing look and a great example of why I need to be more "Matte-open minded". ;)
ReplyDeleteI really like the way this looks!! I love Matte topcoat over flakies too, they seem to stand out so much more mattified.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful glitter
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome! Personally I love matte polishes but I get why others don't like the look. Matte over glitter and matte over flakies certainly looks stunning.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I don't mind matte polish.. just as long as it's on other people. I've tried this look out before but ended up putting a shiny top coat back over it. ♥
ReplyDeleteOH! Btw.. I nominated you for a 'One Lovely Blog' award!

I do love glitters mattified - and this is gorgeous! Glitters and flakies are my favorite thing to mattify.
ReplyDeleteI prefer it matte as well! I just had this on last week actually, great minds think alike :D
ReplyDeleteThis looks so awesome!! :)
ReplyDeleteMaking this manicure matte was pure genius!!!!
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I cannot think I would like matte top coat better than a glossy top. Don't you loose some of the refractive index of all the wonderful glitter coat with the matte on it?
ReplyDeleteI want Milani gems sooo bad but I just can't find it here in the UK with reasonable shipping :( It's so gorgeous mattefied!
ReplyDeleteHx
I Love This!! I'll have to try it.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmm.....yummy! I love playing with matte. Some look better than others. However, I try it out and if I don't like, off it comes!
ReplyDeleteThat's freaking AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI like this look, I finally bought gems today so I'm gonna try this out!
ReplyDeleteThat is very well said!
ReplyDeleteI need to try this over flakies!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteMatte has definitely won me over with how it looks wtih glitter.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I understand. I still am a bit bothered by the matte texture, something about my nails not feeling slick is off putting to me, but I held out with this look.
ReplyDeleteI have to try flakies matte soon!
ReplyDeleteCool! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, though it wasn't my original idea. Whoever first did this I owe gratitude to!
ReplyDeleteA little bit, but they still are shiny. It just gives off a different look that I think is cool. I think it brings out the glitter better if everything is shiny the glitter sometimes can get lost.
ReplyDeleteBoo, I hope you can find it soon. :(
ReplyDeleteVery true!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope you like it too!
ReplyDeleteThat looks fabulous and I am definitely going to try it.
ReplyDeleteFlakies, like Nubar 2010 or SH Hidden Treasure look amazeballz mattified, too. :D
That looks so cool! I would NEVER have thought of putting a matte topcoat over it. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteomg that looks amazing matte!
