Essie Matte About You Matte Finisher

Here's Essie's contribution to this year's matte polish trend- a versatile, quick-drying matte topcoat!

Since it's an Essie topcoat, I thought it best to try it out on some of my favorite Essie polishes to see how they look matte.

My camera battery was dying, so a couple of these are sorta blurry, but you can still see how nice and matte this topcoat is:

Index to pinkie: Essie Sexy Divide, Essie Decadent Diva, Essie National Velvet, Essie Over The Top. No topcoat, just wet polish.

With one coat of Matte About You Matte Finisher.

This stuff is awesome. It dries very fast. I applied it on wet polish like I'd do with a quick-dry topcoat and it set them almost instantly. They were still dentable after five minutes, but it's been about twenty minutes now and they seem totally dry.

An advantage to this matte topcoat is that it's long-lasting. The information I got directly from Essie states that this fast-drying matte topcoat is just as long lasting as any Essie treatment or topcoat. Essie also says that wearing hand lotion is fine with this product- you can apply as much hand lotion as you want without it interfering with the product.

I can't report on wear yet as I've only had this for about a half an hour, but I'll be sure to follow up when I've had more experience with it. So far, so good.

And, if I'm gonna do matte Essie, I might as well go all the way:

That's pretty hardcore. I get butterflies in my stomach when I look at that. I didn't think Starry Starry Night could get any better, but I've proven myself wrong once again.

Essie's Matte About You Matte Finisher matte topcoat is available starting in August and will retail for $10.
