Bourjois So Matt

I know I'm very late to catch onto this trend but I'd never given much thought to matt nails. I love glossy nails and second to glossiness is glitter. I needed to repurchase some more Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover and noticed that Boots had an offer on to get a second item half price. The carrot had been dangled! I spotted this and thought I would finally give it a go...




First of all I tried it over Barry M's Peach Melba. Just one coat with an easy to apply brush and within ten seconds my nails were completely matt. I applied this polish on Wednesday and it was still going strong today with no signs of chipping or wear and tear. However I don't think it shows too well in the photo so tonight I have painted them black and used the dotting tool so that you can hopefully see the difference.

I'm quite impressed with Bourjois So Matt and will definitely be sporting matt nails from time to time. I imagine the effect is quite similar to the new Nails Inc Leather Effect?

Have you tried a matt top coat? What did you think?

Hope everyone has had a great weekend?

    1. Thanks Christine, it's a bit different isn't it! Thought it would be a good way to inject some excitement into my polishes without actually buying any more! xx

  3. I love the look of matte top costs, I haven't tried one myself though, we have Bourjois over here but only a limited range, I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for this!
