Hi everyone,

I while ago I was so disappointed when I saw Chanel Les Pop-Up Summer 2010 Collection and not because the collection doesn’t contain some gorgeous products because it does, but my reason was that I didn’t see any products dedicated for our beautiful eyes.

Top of the Wave nail polish that I’m going to review today is part of the Reflections Collection. It’s spring color a combination between a soft green a blue water color.

Key benefits:

  • Instantly transform nail color from high gloss to matte in seconds
  • Use with any shade from light sheer to dark creme to create a smooth matte finish
  • Versatile way to update look between manicures

How to use it

Apply a base coat, followed by 2 coats of your favorite nail polish. Finish by applying a thin layer of matte finisher in place of a top coat.

Matte About You comes in a 15 ml bottle and it’s available for the price of $10.00.

Sometimes I like to transform my shiny nails giving them a new matte look. I’ve tried Matte About You a couple of times on darker nail polishes and I just loved the effect.

I can’t say that all the colors look good matte but a new variant of using this matte finisher would be a french matte manicure.

I will write an article with some tips for different manicure styles.
