Last year, they were everywhere and they divided opinion. Some loved ‘em, some hated ‘em.
What am I talking about? Matte Nails of course!
17 Nails Xtras Matte Top Coat Polish 8ml (£3.99) from Boots is due to be released in September and I’ve got a sneaky peek for you!
Well… finally! A really, thoroughly decent matte top coat with great availability and a price tag to match!
It may a little late to the mass market to be considered the height of fashion, but this budget matte top coat from 17 Cosmetics is gonna be a hugely popular seller in my humble opinion.
It applies a true matte finish, none of this satin semi-matte nonsense. So far, I haven’t noticed it accentuating any ridges or imperfections in the polish application underneath and it dries fully in minutes. Actually, that’s my one caveat… you need to apply the top coat quickly as it will dry rapidly. Once you realise this, it’s not a problem as the polish glides on smoothly anyway.
After wearing for a couple of days, the matte finish does get slightly shinier… more satiny. But I haven’t noticed an increase in chipping or tip wear as a result of topping up my standard manicure with this little gem.
£3.99? You’ll want to get this! Hurry up September!

When I saw the title of this post I was going to say that I must have been blind to have never seen it in the shop before because this is one range I always have a very good look at.
It all makes sense now! I like the way they have decided to release it at a more “wintery” time because I don’t think matte shades are really a summery thing.
Anyway, I will be picking it up come the time!

Yeah, matte nails scream autumn to me. Last autumn maybe
but perfect seasonal timing nonetheless!

I’m liking this. Think I will be picking up a bottle for sure. I am restricted to certain colours due to my work so this would be a way to change things up a bit.
Thanks

It’s addictive. Since I cracked the bottle open… None of my manis have stayed shiny longer than 5 hours LOL

Just a question… does it feel funny? Is it smooth or does it feel textured?

It feels smooth but not slippy, quite hard to describe actually!

Oooh it looks so great, especially for so little money! I really like the look of Matte nails but they tend to look a bit odd around me.

I can’t believe it! As soon as I buy my Essie Matte About You, cheaper versions keep popping up! Gah. This looks good though so I might buy it for when the Essie runs out.
