Essie

Matte About You Top Coat

Let me get one thing straight -- I love this top coat. It dries fast, is sturdy, and makes my nails look great... Until you notice the white flecks all over my nails. I thought I was just crazy or got an old bottle until I saw other reviews complaining of the same thing. I'm soooo disappointed. It seems like whatever powder Essie uses to matte-ify the polish in the formula is not mixed in well enough. :(

A friend recommended this to me & I’m so glad I bought it! I use the gel-setter top coat first, then this over top on the fingernails I want to be matte & it looks gorgeous. I do get a few “white dots” but not so many that it’s a problem & once your nails are dry, you can scratch them off. I’ll never stop using this as long as essie sells it.

I wasn't sure if I would like the look of matte nails on me, but I decided to try this one out. It is a great product, and it quickly dries with a fully matte look. It does chip a bit quicker than with a regular top coat, but if you don't mind doing your nails a little bit more often you should like the product.

this polish dries quickly and looks great... until you see all of the tiny white dots ruining your manicure. apparently it's a problem (see other reviews), so I don't know why this product is being sold as is. I love essie and am extremely disappointed.

I've used this product for a long time but every time I get halfway down the bottle, it just stops working! My thumb is now half matte, half glossy and the rest of my nails are glossy and completely dry! Probably won't be buying this top coat again - when it works its super good, but beware once you're halfway through it, you'll have to buy another one.

It can't get any matter than this. If extreme mat is what you are looking for, look no further. Way more matting than what I wanted or expected, but that's another story.

I bought this for a wedding and painted my nails the night before, I took extra care when painting them to make sure they were perfect. They were chipping by the next morning! I had to repaint my nails before the wedding they chipped so bad. I've tried it a few more times on different polish, but still saw the same results..

I bought this, and I am really happy I did. This gives an amazing matte effect, and it looks stunning. Although it doesn’t bother me, it does change the colour slightly. This is really a great top coat to have...
