Matte Purple 'Cadbury Wrapper' nails


After some random swatch googling, my narrow mind was exposed to the existence of matte nail polish, so I decided to jump on the band wagon asap! Here I've used Rimmel matte top coat over la femme ebony and no.7 in vivid violet over that.

With flash


I found the actually texture of the nail quite intriguing, I really expected it to feel kind of chalky, but it's actually very smooth and satiny.



Also did some contrasting shiny French tips, using a clear top coat as a bit of an experiment, and I actually really like it, I reckon you could have a lot of fun doing contrasting shiny/matte nail art.

I have to say though, they really remind me of a Cadbury Wrapper, particularly the flash pic!

    oh my word!!!! I love your nails! I want a matte top coat so bad! And I LOVE Cadbury chocolates but only if they come from the UK. The Hershey bastardizations available here in the US taste like crap.

    I bought some Avon matte nail varnish and I love it but I found it so hard to get a picture where it actually looks matte. I love how you did the shiny tips too, will be giving that one a go xxx
