the new black (for your nails!)

9 Jul

matte

There is a new nail trend out there that is a must try.  Matte nails are luxe looking and unique.  You can pick yours up at koknockout.com from KO Cosmetics.  They’re a bit pricey, but well worth it.  If you are on a budget, then try using your basecoat as your topcoat.  It doesn’t have quite the same effect, but it gets close (and the basecoat takes longer to dry).  I personally love the black, but there is something about the matte nude colors that are so smart!  Opaque nudes that elongate the finger are a great way to explore this new trend if you are feeling a little iffy about it.  Trust me though, this new take on polish is super chic and delightfully mod!  Make sure your nails well manicured as this is sure to draw attention.  Take your new matte colors and check out The Pedicure Lounge on 18th and Broadway for a meticulous mani that’ll have you dosing off in your chair!

    I love the matte look too. You can achieve the same look with any nail polish if you just buff your nail after the polish dries. I like doing a matte blood red because it makes it look much less vampy.
