sip loves… OPI matte nail polish!
The matte nail polish trend has been been getting bigger and bigger so when the wonderful OPI team came out with a new matte range we were very excited. They have 6 different colours to choose from and rather than creating new colours they have converted their top selling colours into a matte variant. The matte colours can be used as is, or you can double it up with the same colour in a non matte shiny variant to intensify the result.
OPI and www.alllacqueredup.com have some tips if you are going to try the full on matte;
- firstly, do not use a basecoat or topcoat when using the polish
- only paint dry nails (so no lotions before hand)
- try doing two coats for a solid matte look
- be smooth since a matte result can show the ridges from the brush
- be aware that since it wont have the base or topcoat it can chip a lot easier
- it may sound a little more high maintenance but the results can look fantastic!
since we love sip (obviously!) here in the office we found a firm favourite in the Gargantuan Green Grape variant (below) which looked great as we sipped our Elderflower sip!
sip happy!
