do they still feel smooth or do they have like a chalky feel to them?.... I love the look but I'm really weird about matte finishes on like paint work? if I touch matte paint I feel really sick like touching polystyrene or cotton wool.... god I sound like a freak but I really fancy matte varnish but I'm cringey about what they'll feel like..
i love how they feel! they are in the middle between rough and smooth believe me i was worried about that to but they feel nothing like cotton wool or polystyrene! The women used essies matte polish so just give it a try because mine feel great!
thanks for taking me seriously! I love that polka dot one. I like the matt black with black gloss tips too! think I might have to have a go. I think matte polish is more 'me' anyway
I love matte with a lot of different colors it gives a new look . Have the manicurist do a couple of fingers in different colors with matte then decide. :]

Matte looks awesome in photos, but is really gross to wear as a mani since it soaks up all the oil it touches.
