The matte effect is generally nice but it wipe away the nail polish underneath. I tried a couple of times making sure to wait a few minutes for the nail polish to dry but it still got wiped. It also throw me off and when I try to paint it on as light as possible, it make the top coat layer uneven and streaky.

My first time applying this did not go well, but I figured it was user error and that I just did a terrible job with my nails - used 2 coats LLP Supernatural. So I removed it, and tried again. I took my time cleaning up my nails after my color, they looked nearly perfect. Then I applied the matte top coat and I literally watched the polish pull away from the edge along the cuticle, and they -again- look terrible. I’ve had nothing but great experiences with LLP polishes before this, and the matte effect itself is great, but not great enough to make up for pulling polish.

Here’s the thing. Matte top coats I feel are already fairly difficult to get perfect and LLP has a really good one. But I do still get some white spots on my manicures. I thought it might’ve been just a batch issue, but this is my second bottle and it did the same thing. I’m starting to assume it’s just matte polishes in general. The formulation does that I guess. Out of all the ones I’ve used, I’d say LLP’s might be the best I’ve tried so far. But I’d be lying if I said it was perfect. Maybe the first time it’s perfect. But as soon as the top coat is exposed to oxygen it creates those white spots.

I love the matte finish, it made for a different color which was a nice change. The color stayed put for 2 1/2 weeks.

Love it! It stays matte!
