More Essie Matte About You - with Models Own Lemon Meringue and Pastel Pink

Here are tonight's nails! After the black I wanted something a bit brighter...

What I used:

• Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle basecoat
• Models Own Lemon Meringue (3 coats) 
• Models Own Pastel Pink (3 coats)
• Essie Matte About You topcoat 

I used a dotting tool to dot the opposite colour on after the matte topcoat, so although you can't really tell in the pictures, the dots are shiny.

Just a fun manicure really, I didn't feel like spending ages. What do you think?

Essie Matte About You, Barry M Black

Here are tonight's nails. I got bored of the plain blue from yesterday kinda fast, so after work today I went to buy Essie's Matte About You matte topcoat and did this:

Oops, bit dusty...sorry about that ;)

What I used:

• Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle basecoat
• Barry M black polish (3 coats)
• Essie Matte About You topcoat
• Nails Inc Albert Bridge topcoat (for shiny tips)

I freehanded the tips so they're not perfect, but I quite like the overall look. The matte topcoat is great, and I once said I don't like matte nails. I guess I was wrong! It's fun having nails that look like chalkboards!

You might also notice I trimmed my nails a little. They were getting a bit dry at the tips and I couldn't improve it, so I shortened them a little. I don't mind it, and they'll grow!
