I have been really wanting to try some of the newer “matte” nail polishes floating around. I am a pretty loyal OPI-er, as my lovely husband gave me a ton last xmas and I also love their line with Sephora. After some research, I ended up ordering a bottle from their “Suede” (matte with glitter, basically) collection. I chose Lincoln Park After Dark, which is a really beautiful deep purple.
The picture really isn’t very true to life, I chose it based on some beauty blogs reviews/pics.
Everyone mentioned that there is a caveat to the matte formulas, which is that they chip easier than standard OPI. I am AMAZED at how much of a difference there is. The color is gorgeous, but “chips easier” really means chips instantly. It might work for a night, but it would look battered towards the end. Bummer. Some chemistry genius needs to get to work on this! I want matte nails that I can actual wear for longer than an hour without looking like I bite my nails.
