This fall, matte nail polish is going to be a big trend. Already, big companies like OPI, Orly and Zoya have unveiled collections featuring matte nail polish. Brands advise not to use basecoats or topcoats, meaning slightly more chipping, but these are sooo beautiful I don’t mind a little chipping!

I’m very excited to see a matte white, because white nails have been a trend this summer, and it’s also cool so see my faves Russian Navy and Lincoln Park After Dark in matte. None of these have shimmer, as OPI is releasing a different collection with shimmering mattes, called Suede by OPI.




Orly Matte Collection

I can’t wait to try a bright blue that’s also matte! The Matte Vinyl would also be great for fans of black nails.




Zoya Matte Velvet

Posh is a sexy deep wine, a gorgeous twist on shiny red nails. It’s slightly more subtle, but no less alluring. The two gunmetal polishes look like they’ll give off a perfect urbanistic vibe, exactly what I want for fall.
