"No-luster polish is taking center stage in today's fashion world!Capitalize on the latest nail trend of the season with matte about youand create a smooth matte finish with just one product!" $10 for .5 fl. oz.I cannot tell you how psyched I was when I found out from Kat at Essie they were releasing a matte topcoat! I had a bottle of matte topcoat in the 80's that I was still rhapsodizing about. I thought I would never see it's like again. Then Essie launches "Matte About You" and all my un-shiny nail dreams came true. I hadn't seen anything matte for nails in a long time, but now it seems everyone is coming out with matte nail polishes, however, the beauty of Matte About You is that you can turn any polish matte in seconds. Bored of what was your favorite color? Give it a whole new vibe with this product.
I have to tell you, my first experience with this product was seriously disappointing. I used it as a normal topcoat and it chipped the same day. Then I got the idea to put on an ordinary topcoat followed by Matte About You. I know, I know, that's not what the directions say. But who cares if it works? And it did work like a charm and stayed in place without a chip for several days. And needless to say, I'm totally head-over-heels about the look. As the season wears on I've been hearing that all of the matte finish nail polishes from other companies chip like a porcelain cup as well, but if you follow the instructions I just gave you, you can have your cake and eat it too. If you are looking for something a little different for Fall, this is a product that you should definitely add to your arsenal.

I find with this product that after a few uses white flecks appear in the liquid leaving very annoying white flakes on your nails - which you can't see until it dries. This has happened with 2 bottles. Like dried varnish, and I'm very careful to clean the neck of the bottle to avoid this.
I've noticed an occasional white dot, but I thought it was just my bottle. It isn't bothersome enough to me to stop using it though. Thanks for your comment!
The white flecks are a serious problem, especially when using a darker polish. It's very disappointing and glaringly obvious.
I recently bought this and have used twice, once with a normal top coat then the matte coat, and once just on top a colour. I found both times the nails weren't the lovely matte effect I'd wanted. On one nail it was perfect but then rest they were still a bit shiny. I don't get why as all the reviews I've read say it comes out really matte.
