Matte nail polish, once the choice of adolescent grunge wannabes, had a brief blip of popularity circa '92. Even Revlon got in on the action, offering a gloss-free red polish that I thought was so cool, so Sassy. Looking back, I now realize it wasn't quite as cool as I thought it was in ninth grade.
Or is it? Yep, gloss-free polish has returned. Man Glaze (big yech on the name) makes gray and black matte polishes that sell for $6.66 each. And KO cosmetics's "flatte" polish ($22) comes in pink, ivory, and black — as modeled here by Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. There's no question that matte color is trying to make a comeback. The question is, will you take a shine to it?
Just Cavalli
I like it.
1Haha, I've come across this before- I can't believe the name ( ManGlaze? UGH) but I think their grey polish is to die for! I love the matte polishes.
2I had a Revlon mattifyer, you just put it on the top of whichever colour you were wearing and it magically took the shine away. Of course it looked like I'd just smudged recently applied nail varnish by getting it stuck to cotton or something.
3Karen O could pull of anything, but i do kind of like the look of matte nail polish.
4off*
5can't wait to get some for myself!
6I love matte finishes!!! I use Wet N Wild matte clear #201 all the time.
7I love it!
8I'm a fan of super shine so my nails look wet even when dry. But I'll try this out... can you see smudges better with a matte polish?
9I kind of like it.. I rarely paint my nails but I'll probably give it a try
10I did a review of the pink color here: http://teamsugar.com/group/88093/blog/2899497
11Oh, I'm loving this a lot.
12I kind of want to try it too...
13I hate it. I like shiny nail polish. Really shiny. This just isn't my thing.
14Not my thing.
15I'm kind of curious to try it...
16I'm not sure, maybe I'll try a bottle... I love the cream shades for this season.
17I like it. I'm never a fan of super shiny nail colors. So I might try this.
18I like the glossy kind. I just think it looks classier.
19I prefer glossy too, Genesisrocks. I hate the dull finish of a matte polish.
20I had some matte white way back in the day. It looked like liquid paper. I am curious about he gray.
21Matte nails? How would they feel to the touch... chalky? This is a completely new concept to me.
22I wouldn't mind giving it a try. I'm a big fan of super shiny polishes too, but i reckon this could be cool.
23I prefer metallics but may give this a try.
24A sales girl at Bendel's applied the flatte black to my hand before I bought it. I returned it two days later. It doesn't stay matte after a day because of the oil from your fingers/nails. It also chips within a couple days...but you can't use a top coat because it will make it shiny. Not a fan. I will try the Wet 'n Wild matte clearn though!
25it reminds me of the chalkboard and i just got goosebumps :s
26No! No! No!
27LOVEEEEEE!! need to get these ASAP!!!
28OOO i really like these colors! before i clicked the link i thought KO stood for Karen O and she had come out with her own beauty line...
29ahhh i think it's really coooll... check out Scrangie's blog on the Zoya and OPI Matte collections. they're ah-mayzing. :] love HoT PiNK MaTTe. Looks AHMAYZING.
