Matte About Who?

Hey my follow polish addicts!! I have a new mani to share with you. I'm so grateful for the ladies that have polishing experience and note-worthy creativity. Without them I wouldn't have learned about the different trends I now love so much.

One of these trends is matte nail polish. I first saw matte polish in a Duane Reade store and OPI had them in their line. I didn't like it very much then but now I found Essie's "Matte About You" polish that makes any polish matte, and I absolutely love it!! I've already tried two manis with it and here they are:

base color: Brucci Nail Hardener in Elizabeth's A "Natural"

 Bundle Monster BM02 lip stamp in Sally Hansen's Commander in Chic

 Essie's Matte About You top coat for a matter a finish

Base color: Sinful Colors in Pink Forever
         Free hand design using Sally Hansen's Nail Art Pen in White (I love that thing!)

Black Disco Ball

Black polish is a first for me so to tone it down a little I topped it off with some GLITTER!!! I never really liked glitter before but now I'm obsessed! (I hope that's not a bad thing)....Here's the mani...

 L.A. Colors in Black Velvet
I really liked this polish. After the base coat it went on really opaque in just 1 coat and a half.

Sally Hansen "Strobe Light"

 This is the result! ^>^

The next two pics is just showing off the effect in dim lighting. Cool, huh?
