Matte Nails

Forget your super shiny top coat to finish off your manicure. Matte nails are in and Essie has what you need.

Besides coating your entire nail with the matte top coat, you can just do the tip in matte, or vice versa. If you have a steady hand, you can also do your half moon. Essie has a guide that shows you the looks; but, you can always be creative and do your own thing.

Fans of Essie's Matte About You ($10) say that it works best with dark nail colors, like black, maroon, dark purple, navy, brown and other similar colors. Don't be afraid to try it on light colors to add interest to your spring nails.

Unfortunately, nail polish and top coats do chip and Matte About You is no exception. After several days you may notice the matte-ness chipping off. No worries though, simply reapply Matte About You.

Most of us are too busy to sit still long enough to let our nail polish completely dry. Good thing that Matte About You works over fast drying top coats.

Essie is offering free shipping on orders of $75+ (freeship75), so be sure to check out their spring collection of 6 new colors, their new wedding collection, limited edition sets and all of their regular colors (nail polish $8, sets $14+). Plus, Essie has tools and accessories ($10+), treatments (like ridge filler and protein base coat, $8-10 ), solutions (like sun-e to protect from UVA and UVB, $15). Essie also has lotions and hand care items so your hands look perfect to show off your manicure.

Matte nails are an inexpensive trend, Essie is easy to buy online and is carried in most beauty stores. So, no excuses!
