This look I have on my nails today wasn’t even suppose to be a post. It was suppose to be an ordinary self manicured nails on a quiet Sunday night. Well at least it was up until the time when my forgetful mind remembered I purchased a matte top coat by Nail Tek about 2 months ago and put it on my tiny little nails just to try it on and tada.. it turns out to be the perfect finish for my polish. Like seriously!
I know I’ve gone on and on about how I’m getting tired of matte these days and bla..bla but occasionally I do feel like putting them on; like today. The colour i have on my nails right now is OPI’s At First Sight- something nude-ish for work tomorrow. Look at it and tell me it isn’t beautiful?:-/

The finish is very satin-ish matte instead of chalky matte. OPI’s Nail Envy Matte that I used previously does give a matte finish to a certain degree (not very matte, matte finish) but Nail Tek’s Matte Top Coat brings that finish to an additional level. A stage that probably hasn’t been reached by any topcoat I’ve used before. Why is that so? Because it gives a not so matte; more satin, finish :-D
My nails, in real, I would say it looks like mannequin’s nails (As usual indoor pics doesn’t give any justice to the real thing). But my best friend on the other hand couldn’t agree with me when I said that because for her, it looks deadly pale. But hey, isn’t that how mannequins should look like? :-D Probably because of the base colour. But overall, my point is, I think the top coat is great. Ill probably do another swatch on this topcoat using different colour some other time and day.
While then..TC, and Good night
