Expermenting...

I truly adore nail polish. The pop of color it offers is really fun.

I also love changing the presentation of color too.

I've been dying to try something new, and that new thing would be matte.

While I would of course say that Essie's "Matte About You" is really all that, I can't. 

I went the cheep route and bought the drug store brand. I just wanted to be sure that I liked the look of it first. And I do. I really do. The dry time for nails is quite reduced, ALWAYS a plus. This is all very exciting. 

While I can't attest to the staying power of the Revlon, I only put it on this afternoon, it does look good.

A cautionary word about matte, it always looks dry. It's almost maddening. I despise this. I gave it less dry time than the usual thinkng, no shine, less time. But I was wrong. After attempting to open a few things using normal lack of caution I observed the damage that had been done. Another touch up of color and matte they looked like nothing had happened. Another thing about matte, it amplifies EVERY flaw. Be careful that you like the way the color looks before adding a top coat.

Ulta is going to be my next stop for Essie, most likely tomorrow. 

Side note: the green I used is OPI's Don't Mess With OPI

Keep it classy,
