Review (5/5): Outstanding Matte Nail Polish
These Nicole Diary Matte Nail Polishes are a great value. The colors are beautiful and full bodied. The Peacock is a dark
blue with a beautiful subtle shimmer and Old Flame has a warm glow to it. These two polishes subtly reflect the light and are my personal favorites. Dusty Rose and Back To Black are truly matte and have no reflective qualities at all. The formula for these polishes is spot on. Matte polish tends to be slightly thicker than traditional nail polish and can apply thicker. If you're not use to working with matte polish, be patient with yourself. They may require 2 or 3 coats to cover fully and sometimes they can take a while to dry. Another tip for using matte nail polish is to make sure that the surface of your nail is smooth. Matte polish will show lumps and bumps, so use a good base coat. The 9ml bottles are are perfect for easy storage and the brushes are the perfect size. Any of these polishes can be worn with the addition of a matte top coat to extend the wear time or with a glossy top coat for a shiny alternative. Either way they will be a great addition to your nail polish collection.
