For me, the holy grail is the perfect matte nail polish. Ever since the matte trend started, I feel like I’ve been searching high and low for my ideal version of the look.
While I adore glossy nail designs like this shimmering galaxy manicure, and the quirky adornment of these pressed flower nails, nothing beats a simple matte mani for pure cool factor. It’s elegant, it’s understated, and it transitions easily from work to play.
That said, this trend is simple to do. While there are some great mattifying topcoats out there, lots of matte polishes that you buy in the store can end up looking a little chalky. Besides, the runway nail artists who popularized the trend are probably mixing polishes to get the exact texture that they want before painting.
Fortunately, someone out there had the brilliant idea to try the same thing. If you can’t find the perfect matte, why not make it at home?
It may sound complicated, but it’s really just as easy as making a cup of tea. All you need is your own nail polish and a kettle of water! Check out the video below to learn how to create this effect at home!
