They’re gloss-free, sparkle-free and have now become a huge trend in nail polish. More and more nail polish brands are coming up with their own version of matte polishes such as Zoya, OPI and Orly.

Looks kinda scary to me o_0. Harus dicoba dulu kali ya? Sementara itu nay deh.

Well, it looks scary hanya karena kukunya PANJANG.
Utk warna2 gonjreng begini, sebaiknya panjang kuku memang tdk melebihi jari (atau lbh sedikiiiitt).

For matte, I still opt for warna2 aman, no greens or blues,

Oh, she is Karen O!
Yang Zoya Dovima cantikkkk…

Btw, dari pengalaman pribagi gw sih nail polish biasa (gloss) juga bisa dijadiin efek kayak gini kok kalau kena kain yang halus. Gw sering gitu soalnya…kalau lagi tidur jari-jari ditaruh di bawah bantal & ditindih kepala. Pas bangun jadinya matte deh!
