As we’ve closed the summer season and are transitioning into fall, it’s not only time to change out our wardrobe, but it’s time to change out our beauty products as well. This season, matte colors are a must! We’ve been all about textures and patterns lately in the fashion world, so why not play with a smoother and cleaner texture? The matte finish is subtle yet adds a great effect to your normal nail lacquer. To make an even bigger difference to your nails, add a shatter, crackle or blasted shade. All of these could be found either from OPI, Sally Hansen or Sephora by OPI. To go for a classic color included with a matte finish, try out the OPI Russian Navy Matte Color, great for any preppy & nautical outfit. This new lacquer is such a big twist to the classic Russian Navy made by OPI. The key to using matte colors is to NOT put a topcoat over the finished nail. In addition to classic colors with matte finishes, MAC Cosmetics came out with a white matte finish from their Jeanious collection called Frayed to Order. It’s a white color with some pink undertones. Try this polish with the OPI Turquoise Shatter Top Coat. It’s a way to mix the matte finish with the shatter finish, but be subtle about it. Sephora by OPI has a phenominal nail design option in mixing their Urban Ballerina Collection with their Blasted Collection. It’s called “Distressed Metal.” Start off with the Break A Leg-Warmer as a base and top it off with the Blasted Silver polish. This design puts on a glamorous yet textured feeling to your nails.
