Matte Nails with Glitter Detail
16 March 2010, 02.44 | Posted in nail art | 5 comments »
There’s an official obsession with matte nail beginning to brew here. It’s to the point that looking at super glossy nails is a little bit of a turn off, which is crazy because there was nothing that I used to love more than a the shine of a fresh mani. And even still, I think a straight matte nail is a bit much. And that’s why I love this design. You get the mystery of the matte with a little added pop from the sparkle to bring it out. This image and the mani were created by MarianNaoust. Follow the link and you can find details on the polish she used.

I got my first fill in with matte nail polish (OPI You Don’t Know Jaques – Matte) and the only time it looked like a true matte color is when I left the shop. Lotin, oils, cremes, etc (I’m black with natural hair so I STAY oily some kind of way lol) have really kept them shiny and kept me sad.
Is there any way to keep them matte?
Love it!
I have been trying out some OPI matte polish and I’m not that crazy about it – very hard to put on smoothly, not particularly durable. Maybe best left to the salon to apply! I do like how it looks with gloss tips though.
hmm, you guys are scaring me off of this a little. i’m actually going to do a field trip to valley, get my nails and see if i can’t take some pics while i’m there to. i’m going to report back on their opinions on matte world.
