Mattified nails

I haven't really had time to do any fancy nail art lately but I wanted something different on my nails. Looking through my nail varnish stash I found an over coat polish I haven't used for a while. It's Rimmel's pro matte finish mattifying topcoat. I use to absolutely love this, & after using it again today I remember why.

I have painted my nails a few different shades of pinks & purples, so you can see what the different colours look like mattified, & then gone over the top with one application of the pro matte finish.


L-R = Rimmel 60 seconds rapid ruby, funtime fuschia & portobello pink, & Barry M in shade 22 & limited edition 30.


Please excuse the handle. I must have been tested colours for the crackle effect polish. Obviously I didn't want to try it out on my nails...

Below are pictures of my nails before & after application of pro matte finish.








What do you guys think of mattified nails? I think it's quite a nice change. The type of thing I'd have phases of I reckon, sometimes preferring this, but other times preferring shiny nails.

Hope you're all well,

    I wouldn't have thought I'd like the matte finish very much, but I actually do! I'd imagine it would look great over a black polish :) x
