It's all about a unique texture on the nails and a matte finish is very fashion-forward When I think of a nice manicure, my mind immediately jumps to well-maintained, shiny nails. After all, isn't that why we all use top coats? But even though I absolutely love that look, sometimes I just need something different. Something edgier. Darker. On the complete other side of the spectrum is matte nail polish. Exactly what it sounds like, matte finish means a polish that's completely devoid of shine. Matte nails have been trendy for a new seasons now - ever since king of cool Alexander Wang sent matte nails down his Fall 2010 runway, the trend has been everywhere. Many runway beauty trends are extreme (to say the least), but I think this one is definitely doable! If you guys are curious about matte nails, just purchase now! Professional usage: Step 1.
