Along with my discovery of Sula’s Paint & Peel, I’ve been very attracted to matte nailpolish, which has been a huge trend in 2009. I remember this trend being in when I was younger and my mother was sporting matte nails, but this time I am old enough to join in on the fun.

I love the feel of matte nailpolish, they just feel so natural like your nails have been freshly buffed. You can now wear white nailpolish, and with the gloss eliminated, your nails won’t look like a set of Chiclets :P Light colours can come out very streaky on nails, so for a soft and lustrous look on your wedding day, a matte nailpolish may be the chic way to go.

Powder, Calamine and Concrete are amazing colours for a bridal outfit. And if you are feeling especially rocker/goth, you must try Flatte Black, which is loved by celebrities like Taylor Momsen and Karen O. I personally love greys and taupe colours since those are natural and easy to wear, so a layer of Flatte Top will help flatten my current high gloss nailpolish. The product comes in a large 16.5ml frosted bottle, so you can make fashion statements again and again.

For the next little while, I know I’ll be switching between satin matte and bright peeling nailpolishes.
