Beaute Des Ongles: Chanel Mat Top Coat

by Adele




photosource Chanel.com

One of my favourite looks for nails right now is wearing them Mat. A couple of weeks ago I bought the Chanel  Mat Top Coat (£18) & have been trying it out with many of the nail varnishes in my collection. The effects are more striking with darker shades & it looks particularly sophisticated with Chanel Black Satin & Chanel Pirate (gorgeous red!).  


Start with nails painted in chosen colour. I've gone for Chanel Pirate.




Ensure nails are dry before applying the Mat Coat. 




The Mat coat dries the nails in seconds & totally transforms the nail giving a fresh new look.
I've also been playing around mixing mat & gloss (mat just on ring finger), gloss tips  - there are so many variations to try!!
A great look for Xmas parties me thinks!

Other brands such as YSL are also catching onto the trend, so say "Au Revoir" to your glossy nail varnishes & embrace the new Mat nail trend.
