Guy's Review
-04.23.13
Quick Take: chip resistent, long wearing, fast-drying
I'm a guy who used this after getting a manicure. I must say, it looks great. No color, and makes my nails look squeaky clean. My partner used the shiny clear polish, which looks absolutely ridiculous on him lol. Use the matte polish, guys.

More of a matte varnish
-04.22.13
This product successfully delivers that cool matte look. However you need to apply it meticulously, and after you've given your nails time to dry. It's not like regular top coats, which you can just swish on in a second. Any area you miss is left shiny and if you try to apply it to a wetter nail, your coat will become thinned out. Overall, I would say this product is GOOD, but more of a varnish, and less of a top coat because its a bit difficult to use and doesn't really add protection.

Great to make any color matte
-04.19.13
Quick Take: matte, clear
Wonderful top coat! Makes any color you already own into a new Matte shade! Wears nicely, but after a week or so, the matte does tend to get a tad bit shiny. Wish there were a way for the matte to stay very matte even through wear. It does not change the color of the polish at all, just the finish.

I was looking for a good matte top coat that did not cost too much- this is it! Works great, looks great, and was cost efficient. I highly recommend it.

Highly Covetable
-04.14.13
Quick Take: chip resistent, matte
I've wanted this for six months andi t's always sold out. I lucked into grabbing one of two remaining bottles thanks to a fluke on a quick jaunt to my local sephora, and I love it. The matte is great and makes for a lovely finish. Even though the shine breaks through after 2 days it still is mostly matte and chip free. If you're lucky enough to not be sold out one time you should grab one, for sure.

Worth it at 100%
-04.09.13
Quick Take: chip resistent, fast-drying, easy to apply
I bought this top coat despite the bad reviews I had read on here. Let me tell you that I fell completely in love with the product. The finish it gave me was perfectly matte, exactly what I expected. It may wear off a little fast (3-4 days) but to me, it was still worth it 100%, I constantly wear it!

looks good for 1-2 days
-04.09.13
This looks good the first day you apply it, ok the second, but by the third it sort of rubs off and leaves a semi shiny finish from whatever polish was under it. It was ok to experiment with, but I wouldn't buy it again.

Don't bother with this
-03.09.13
Quick Take: a waste of money
Don't waste your time. It works on 1 out of 5 nails pretty consistently. It does not make for a nice matte look. I have given it a try about 3 times now, and I've basically ruined manicures because it fails each and every time. Wish I'd never bought it. I will just try the DIY method of putting corn starch in regular clear coat--at least I've seen this method actually work. What a waste.

Inconsistent, not very matte
-03.04.13
Quick Take: chip resistent
This top coat rarely gives my nails a truly matte finish. Often, only a couple of nails will look matte and the rest will either still be shiny or just look more dull, but not with the flat chalkboard look I want. It does keep your polish from chipping, so that's nice, but simply not worth it when some of your nails are matte and some are not.

I loved it! It came out so pretty. However, you have to keep them up because it fades after 3-4 days or so. Nevertheless, I'm in love!

Quick Take: fast-drying, chip resistent
I really like this. I put it on a lot of the polishes I use. It has looked good on every colour I've used. I also love watching it dry, it looks cool seeing it turn all matte-y in a matter of seconds :D. It usually lasts about a week for me, and you only have to put a small layer on top of your nail polish. :)
