I bought this awhile ago, i like it for a bit, it dries quick and looks matte, but after awhile the matte effect starts to vanish? It just goes away and looks like ive never put anything on it.

Review 4 for Westminster Bridge Matte Effect Top Coat
Cool Matte Effect
-04.17.13
Quick Take: matte smooth application
No need to buy a matte color - just use this product. Just brush it on and normal shiny nail polish is matte. This goes on well. It stays on well. I like it a lot.

Review 5 for Westminster Bridge Matte Effect Top Coat
EniloracEnav
No good
-04.07.13
I expected better simply because of the brand, however, I was disappointed. I was looking for a full-on matte finish and the sales associate handed me this one. I know matte top coats take a bit longer than regular finishers but this one just took forever! My manis ended up getting ruined most of the time because I didn't sit there for at least half an hour. On top of that, it lost its matte effect the next day. Bottom line: wouldn't recommend

Review 6 for Westminster Bridge Matte Effect Top Coat
Not my favorite....
-03.03.13
I had higher hopes for this nail polish finisher. I read a lot of fantastic reviews, but for some reason I just did not see the same, or similar results. It didn't give the complete matte look I was expecting, and I tried it with several different nail polishes/colors. Oh, well.

Review 7 for Westminster Bridge Matte Effect Top Coat
exactly what I was looking for
-02.05.13
I picked this up to create a matte effect with black polish— it looked amazing. I got tons of compliments. It however didn't last super long, but then again most nail polish doesn't.

Doesn't Last Long
-02.01.13
Quick Take: fast-drying, doesn't wear long enough
When first applied, this matte top coat looks great - the darker the color, the more noticeable. However, after only about a day, the 'mattness' seems to wear away and it looks like an old glossy top coat. Not worth it.

Review 10 for Westminster Bridge Matte Effect Top Coat
Great payoff, but chips fairly easily.
-01.30.13
Quick Take: fast-drying
The title is fairly self explanatory - this is a wonderful matte, and it looks fantastic, but it tends to chip unless you seal the tips of your nails with the polish as well as the nail bed.

Review 11 for Westminster Bridge Matte Effect Top Coat
Pretty snazzy top coat.
-01.27.13
Quick Take: long wearing, fast-drying
I really love this top coat, however it doesn't really create a matte effect. I tried it out on nails with just a regular OPI base color, and some with the OPI base color and an additional layer of glitter polish. On both nails, for the first day it had a sort of matte-looking effect, but for the most part, the best it can accomplish is a satin finish. If you want to tone down an extremely glossy finish, this is a good choice, but if you're looking for a totally matte finish, you should look elsewhere.

Review 12 for Westminster Bridge Matte Effect Top Coat
Wonderful Matte Coverate
-01.11.13
Quick Take: fast-drying
I love this matte polish. It works wonderful as a topcoat, delivering quality matte finish in a quick drying time. My only complaint is that it tends to flake sometimes - what I've done to fix this is brushing a horizontal strip of the polish over the tip of the nail. That helps prevent the chipping.
A worthwhile purchase, and my previous bottle of this lasted for months, even with my almost constant usage. I love my matte polish.

Worked great!!
-01.03.13
Quick Take: fast-drying
I had this applied after I had a gel sealer put on by my nail tech. It is very matte! Not sure how it will last, but I recommend having this done pre-top coat. Very cool effect!

Review 14 for Westminster Bridge Matte Effect Top Coat
Such a great way to experience this trend.
-11.24.12
Quick Take: fast-drying, great value, great way to experience the trend
Matte finishes are great and trendy right now. This top coat is a great way to expand your current nail color collection to include matte finishes. This even works on shimmer shades and gives it a softer look.

Review 16 for Westminster Bridge Matte Effect Top Coat
Oh Matte
-10.25.12
Wanted to wear all of my nailpolishes as a matte color. And it works: a beautiful matte look after a single coat.
BUT why oh why do you go away so quickly? I like to wash my hands and well the matte finish quickly fades and leaves an icky not-shiny-but-not-matte-either look. Even if you try another coat, it then gives off milky streaks.

Great MATTE finish

Quick Take: long wearing, fast-drying, chip resistent
I do most of my manicures and pedicures at home ... and as I am a man, I do not always like to use a "shiny" finish top coat. I have tried two other brands that were pathetic at best ... either by leaving a porous finish or a semi gloss finish. The Westminster Bridge Matte polish is PERFECT. Applies nice and smooth ... leaving a smooth real MATTE finish. I'm sold for life. Guys ... this is the one you want !!

Review 20 for Westminster Bridge Matte Effect Top Coat
Wonderful concept but...
-09.22.12
Quick Take: fast-drying, affordable
Sound like a wonderful deal right?- buy this one top coat and ALL your polishes at home could have that Matte finish which is so popular right now. And for the price it is a pretty good bargain but there are some snags prevent me from raving about this product.
Firstly, it dull the color of the polish you are 'mattifying'- sort of washes it in an opaque/milky color. So I would say you should use bright colors with this top coat.
Also the finish seems to wear off after about 24 hours, especially if you wear lotions etc.
But for all that, I still think this top coat is really great to work with when doing nail designs or just treating your nails to a really trendy manicure!
