Matte nail polish is a popular effect for those that prefer a suede texture. With this relatively new nail finish, it's possible to mix both shiny and matte surfaces for multidimensional nails that can look like stained glass or tile. See our favorite matte topcoats that promise to flatten a shiny finish, and remember, don't cover it with a glossy top coat!

To try this trend on the cheap, NYC has a matte topcoat called Matte Me Crazy, and it was only a few dollars!

China Glaze sells a nice matte top coat too :) It's smaller than a normal china glaze polish though and still costs the same as a full sized polish, which kind of sucks. Other than that I like it though! I like being able to watch my nail polish become matte before my eyes too lol
