The miracle of 'Matte'

Fall is just around the corner, beauties do you have matte nail polishes in your collection? -I have NONE!

Last week I was thinking and I really wanted matte polishes but I didn't want to buy another set of so many polishes for who knows how much $$$... I was on my beautylish account and read the article about Matte nails and how they're in season, btw, it SAVED my butt-ox loads of money. MATTE TOP COAT! -It's my new best friend. I'm so into beauty and everything but where have I been 'cause I certainly didn't know about this until about 2 weeks ago.

A lot of nail polish brands are making their own Matte Top Coat (London Butter, China Glaze, Essie, Hardcandy & etc...) I ordered 2 from China Glaze (which is not here yet) . Yes, 2! Just because I know I'll be using it pretty often this fall/winter. I have so many colors I want to try out. I didn't know that Essie and Hardcandy made one until AFTER I ordered from China Glaze so I made a trip to my local Walmart and purchased Hard Candy Matte Top Coat, came home and immediately tried it out.

I couldn't believe how fast it dried and how fast it turned from gloss/shiny/shimmer to MATTE! I was literally jumping up and down. For those of you that don't know, they are just like any other top coat (apply on top of polish) except this ones dries really quick. But remember you can't use a fast drying serum for it or else the matte goes away; Defeats the purchase of having matter nails.

Anyways, go try it out and let me know how you like it! Even if you try out a didn't brand, I still want to know. (I'll update after I receive my other ones from CG. I might even have a favorite)

XOXO,
