Black Gloss on Matte French Manicure

High gloss nails will always be absolute perfection in my eyes but I have really been wanting to try out the Matte look! l recommend a Matte Top Coat (I used Quo By Orly Matte Topcoat) as apposed to investing in a collection of Matte finish colours - You can still achieve a plain flat Matte nail if you want OR you can get creative, mix it up & do a unique design 
using both the Gloss & Matte finishes
- the possibilities are absolutely endless!

What You Will Need:

• Black Nail-polish (Gloss finish)
• Quo Matte Topcoat

Step #1. Apply two thin coats of black nail-polish!

Be sure to allow nails to dry COMPLETELY 

between steps/layers of polish

Step #2. Apply Matte Top Coat (apply one thin coat following the "Three Stripe Rule" explained in my previous blog - to ensure the finish will dry properly without any streaks/brush marks.)

Step #3. Re-Apply your Black Nail-polish on the tips of your nails to complete the French Manicure Look. 

If you lack a naturally steady hand like me - A trick is to brace the side of your hand on the table as you paint to help keep your hand from shaking & the line straight.

If you don't feel comfortable free-hand painting the tips - you can always use nail tape, masking tape, or those hole reinforcement stickers (for a rounded tip)!
