OPI Matte Polishes For Those Who Don’t Like To Reflect Light

What: OPI Matte Nail Lacquers ($6.20 – $9.50)

Why: OPI Matte is a collection of six matte versions of their most popular colors (Alpine Snow and Lincoln Park After Dark among them). I especially dig Russian Navy, a moody navy blue. Because the lacquer dries almost on contact, I find myself painting on coats as quickly as possible. The result: a blue-black mani that looks punkish-cool.

FYI: Because I can’t apply a glossy top coat to seal in the color (that would be defeating the purpose), the polish job chips within a few days. Best used for one night’s wear.

If bright is more your thing when it comes to nails, try out some neon or blue and get noticed right away.

I like the Neon
name

There are matte clear polishes and topcoats out there, & in my experience they wear like iron. Some of the best are ones targeted to men. Great for protecting matte polishes or to “mattify” regular polishes, often with interesting effects. (I like the 2 center colors.)
