| Whether you like it or not, Matte Nail Polish is a big trend this year and if you’re like me and don’t want to shell out + dollars for every trendy colour of matte polish that you happen to like “at the moment”, then these Matte Top Coats are a great alternative since they transform (i.e. mattify) any polish in your collection to the stylish finish. Using a matte top coat not only transforms any shade in your collection but it is also a budget-friendly way to embrace the matte trend. Here are three great choices for getting that perfect matte nail look. I have two of them but once I get my hands on the Essie polish, I plan to do a review post comparing all three using an assortment of nail lacquers (i.e. shimmer, opaque, neon, duo chrome). |

Essie Matte About You is a top coat that prevents your polish from chipping while giving your nails a matte finish. It can be applied over any nail polish or on bare nails to remove the shine and give nails a dull look. This one has been sold out every time I try to get my hands on it, likely because it’s been getting such RAVE reviews….so my search continues.
