I initially bought this to compliment a couple of matte polishes I have. I didn't even think about using it on my regular polish collection, but was curious...I tried it on a few colors and LOVE the effect!! It tones down the shine sparkle (but still letting a hint show) .sort of giving it an eggshell type finish... I feel like Ive doubled my colors/inventory!
This polish does look spectacular on any color or any design....for about two days. I have used this product several several times thinking something will change but on about the third day the matte has worn down and there is a glossy sheen on every nail...short of re-applying every 2-3 days, I just can't get this top coat to stay matte no matter what I do. PLEASE tell me it's not just me....

I will only use OPI. It stays on my nails and I do a lot of cleaning at my home as well as gardening. No other nail polish products work as well. I also like the variety of colors. I use the light colors in the Spring and Summer and dark colors in the Fall and Winter.

I was hesitant if this would work but it does! I already painted my nails the day before and I went and grabbed this at my local ulta. Used it the next day and it was matte! I used a thin layer and then if I saw any missing places I put more on. I only get Opi now because all other nail polishes are not good quality

I used this matte top coat over my dip powder nails, and I couldn't be happier with the results!!! The matte finish is perfect, and dried very quickly! I have had other matte top coats that I hated because they dried TOO quickly and left my nails looking streaky, but OPI nailed it! When first applied it looks a bit glossy but if you blow on it, you can literally see the product dry and turn into a beautiful matte finish! I will say, after reading some other reviews I think some may believe this product is meant to be used in place of a normal top coat but that is not the case. This product is not intended to be a protective top coat, but rather a matte coating that you put over your manicure after you've applied your normal top coat. So if you've tried this product before and have used it incorrectly, give it another shot! It's perfect if used properly!

This top coat not only took all of the shine away, it brought my nails to a level of matte that I would only expect by professional manicures.

This product is a matte top coat so you can put it over any color nail polish you want to turn matte. It also dries fast. On top of all of that my nails usually cannot keep just a regular finger nail polish and top coat on them it always wants to chip but this top coat allows your polish to stay on for a very long time!!

I was skeptical but figured I'd give this matte finish a try. To my surprise, and excitement, it actually worked! On all nail polish that I've tried it on, also, not just OPI brand. Would recommend.

I will not use the polish again. Will probably toss.
Ali from Oregon
Even after other reviews I decided to try it. I haven't had any problem the color bleeding, and no chips. I love it!

this will NOT work with nail stickers or wraps such as color street! my nail stickers/wraps literally peeled right off after being in the shower for 5 minutes after I applied this top coat a few hours before. it does give you a good mattifying effect and dries almost instantly (hence the 3 stars), but it does next to nothing for sealing or protecting your manicure. when I use a regular top coat, my nail stickers can last for 2 weeks or more, but with this top coat, they peeled off within the day I applied it. if you're looking for a top coat that seals and protects your manicure, this is not the polish that you want to use!

Makes color matte without changing it! Also dries quite fast. Only thing is, the brush picked up and removed the existing color on my nails- which was one coat that I had applied over 24 hours ago.

I can't have shiny nails for work. I decided to purchase the matte topcoat. I have always loved and trusted OPI. Once I get more used to using it, I think I will love it!
Meg art from Ohio
I love the matte it's one of my favorites my only slight issue is you have to reapply the matte every 4 to 5 days ...it doesn't get shiny but it's not necessarily matte anymore
Jess from MI
It does exactly what it is meant for. Great buy!
Angela F from Carmel, IN
Loved the change in finish of my usual polish. Made my at home manicure look like a professional manicure.
Amie from North Carolina
This stuff is so so cool! Goes on easy and dries within like a minute. Totally changed the game for me, love the look!
Brandy from Mobile
Used an OPI Nude color and accelerated the tone with the Matte finish. It's Perfect!
Maggie from Maryland
I was hesitant of buying this, based solely off the reviews online. I'm new to painting my own nails, but I was willing to try. I saw one review that said to apply the matte coat over a clear top coat. I did just that, and it went perfectly! It was very quick to dry. I had a total of four coats: clear base, one coat of color polish, one coat of clear top coat, and one coat of the matte polish. I let each coat thoroughly dry before doing the next coat. The color polish I used is "It Never Ends." I will buy this again when I run out! Make sure to shake the matte bottle very well before using.

within 2 days my toe nails had chipped and my toes take forever to show wear. I was very disappointed. seche vite is the best top coat and everything else is not it. it looked nice but also took a long time to dry. not happy and not worth it.

One coat of OPI Matte Top Coat and I'm in love. One coat makes the nail completely matted. I only had color transfer from polish to brush when pusing pressure to the brush but came off extremely easy from the brush. I just painted them 2 hours ago and have to see how long it lasts.

Not impressed OPI fan from Maryland
Sorry but, I'm not as generous with the stars on this as everyone else. Yes, it does go on matte as many others have said, but should it get 3 stars just because it's only able to do that?! A top coat isn't just for looks/aesthetics but also function, it's supposed to protect the color and aide in lasting/durability. I've painted my nails since I was a child and I'm in my early 30's so I've used a fair amount of brands and colors, never have I ever seen a top coat lift color from a dried nail; I thought the issue was that I used a black of a different brand so maybe it was the mismatch, so I went and bought an OPI black and it did the same thing. Even more, it doesn't matter how long you let it dry the first day you practically can't do much because it will smudge or lift in someway, even if you touch it and it seems dry...so this isn't something that you can do when pressed for time. Then, another weird thing about this top coat, is the fact that it doesn't really chip off, but rather, it rubs off or even washes off. Overall, this is a huge miss and major disappointment given that it's OPI! I'm harsh in my review because it's OPI and we have come to expect a certain level from them which is why many of us are willing to pay more for it; however, this performs worse than the old wet n wild polishes, Revlon, or those little bottles of polishes that were super cheap (can't remember name). Basically, this isn't something I will purchase again from them and I am highly suggesting to anyone reading the reviews prior to buying to look elsewhere this isn't worth it, trust me.

Don't get me wrong, the product is exactly as billed, it creates a lovely matte finish. However after trying it for the first time, I realized I'm not a fan of the matte finish look.
Sarah from Concord
Works well for what I was looking for.
K from Florida
Dries insanely fast. you will see the texture no matter how smooth the polish went down. The polish I used thinned out at the cuticle when applying the top coat. You will have to go over spots to ensure no shine. Will not be a smooth application

As everyone else has said, this top coat doesn't last long and is prone to chipping. The glossy top coats provide chip protection but this does nothing but provide a matte aesthetic. Moreover - even if your nails are completely dry before applying, the color (especially a dark one) will get all over the applicator brush and stain it. Now my entire bottle is tinged red.
