OPI Matte Top Coat 15 ml

Strengthens the nails so pleased with it

The best matte top coat ever

Does exactly what it says. Matt! In an instant

Works

This matte top coat is not worth it. It does not apply smoothly - it leaves ridges on the polish that make the mani look sloppy (see pic). Initially I thought maybe it just needed another layer after a few hours to smooth it out, but it didn't make it any better. It does not last as long as other matte top coats - you can see in the pic that the edges of the nails are visible even though I paint them separately and even though only one day has passed since initial application. Also, even 20-25 mins after applying the last coat of polish, this topcoat will pick up and drag your main colour. The main colour will then remain on the brush and unless you thoroughly clean it before dipping it back in the bottle, it will give a hue to your otherwise transparent top coat.My Essie matte topcoat is half the price and does the job perfectly, so I will stick to it. OPI make wonderful nail polishes, which is why I thought I'd give the matte top coat a try, despite it being so expensive, but it's a disappointment. Do not recommend.

Goes on lovely then next day is peeling and unsightly looking, makes my nails look dirty

Horrible, my wife brought this and says it takes all the colour off her manicure. Also says Essie matt is brill which she's used before

This product is awful; it looks fine during application but when it dries you end up with white deposits all over your nails. It also cracks quite badly within just a few days. I’d recommend CND or Orly over OPI any day; I’m struggling to see why these guys have the reputation they have (maybe the quality of the product has gone downhill over time!?).
