I did a post about the Essie “Matte About You” Nail Polish. It is like a matte top coat finish. I have been meaning to purchase it and try it but it wasn’t until I saw these pics on www.ferOHHHsh.com that I actually want it now!

Here is a pic of the nails before the Matte About You nail polish

One of the latest trends that ruled the runway for Fall/Winter 2009 is the Ombre Effect! Ombre is a French word that means shading and is used to describe a technique used by many fashion designers where they fade or bleed colors into one another. Now this technique is somewhat difficult. You would not attempt to do the fading like we did back in the day with the half and half nails. You have to have the right polish to accomplish this look as well. I think colors that are vibrant and shiny would work better, it would be less of a dingy look if you tried with say a dull or matte color.

 Calgel Usa have online training sessions and kits where they teach you the technique (www.calgelusa.com) . You can also go on youtube and type in Ombre Effect for nails and there are many videos that will pop up. I hope my nail technician can accomplish this because I simply love it!

When I first laid eyes on Matte polish I fell in love immediately!!!! It is something so sleek, sexy, and sophisticated about matte nails. In the Summer and Spring we tend to go for shiny, glossy, bright colors, but  now that we are moving into Fall its time to switch up the nail candy.

Brands like O.P.I. (pictured above) have a pretty good selection of colors. My favorites are the black and the green. Alos pictured above is Zoya. These brands have a limited line/selection of matte colors. 

Well Essie has created a new product “Matte About You” This is a matte finisher used like a top coat! You can apply the finisher to any nail polish and it will have a smooth matte finish! This great product is only $10. You can’t beat that price. Think about it this way,  you can use all of the colors that you purchased for the summer in the Fall. The matte finish will tone down the glossiness and brightness to give it a sleek look, which is so appropriate for the fall.

This is an example of the product. Look at all of the possibilities with the matte finish! This is a great buy! you can purchase this product at www.essieshop.com
