After being sent a link to some beautiful matte nail art, I decided to hunt some of this polish down and test it out. I found a cheap bottle in Boots, by Rimmel - £4.95! And I bought it with my Boots points, so double Yay! I was desperate to have a play, so I painted over my pink glittery thumbnail to see how well it worked. The matte polish works brilliantly, but don't use it over glitter! It kills the glitteryness! So I decided to try and recreate the look I had seen online. Here's a set of pics to show what I used...
Then I added the matte polish. The brush is thick so it's easy to apply in a few swipes! The only problem was that the brush got slightly stained navy blue from the polish. Maybe I didn't leave the base colour to dry for long enough as I was impatient to see the matte!
I finished off by painting over the tips of each nail with the Nails Inc colour. In normal light it really does look black (which I wanted) but I've included a photo I took with the flash so you can see how it's actually really dark blue.
Let me know what you think! X
Amazing! I need some of this SO BAD!
ReplyDeleteI went to order this with my usual make up order on boots.com and IT HAD RUN OUT! I found a matte coloured nail varnish but I want a top coat so badly! These nails look fab though!
ReplyDeleteThese look great, I love the contrasting look. Did you do the tips freehand or with tape? They look very neat.
ReplyDeleteThankyou! :-) I freehanded them, just one swipe across the top of each with the nails inc polish x
