First Impression of NYC Mattifying Top Coat in 274 Matte Me Crazy

Matte lips have been very popular lately. So when I saw a top coat that can make your nails matte I figured, why not? I picked up the NYC Mattifying Top Coat in a recent haul. Like the Essence Gel-Look Plumping Top Coat (review here), I was intrigued by the idea behind this top coat. The NYC Mattifying top coat claims to create an instant matte finish to the nails.

It definitely lives up to the claim. Once you put this top coat on your nail polish instantly has a matte finish. It dries really, really fast too, which is a big plus. This top coat gives a cool effect—your nails look like frosted sea glass. Even though the finish is matte, your nails still feel like they have a normal top coat on. The interesting thing is that your nails feel like they only have one layer of polish on instead of multiple (I had four layers on—base coat [Perfect Formula review here], two layers of color and a top coat). This top coat does change the color of the polish (e.g., color is lighter or darker). My nailpolish lasted as long as it normally does without chipping/wearing away (3-4 days).

I definitely want to experiment with this top coat more. I’m hoping I will be able to create patterns like stripes or polka dots. I plan to put a normal top coat on first and then create a design with the matte top coat. I’m excited to see how versatile this top coat can be!

If you want to experiment with creating a matte look with your nails, I would definitely recommend the NYC Mattifying Top Coat.
