Matte Tips Nail


Hello my girlies!!

Does my nails look familiar??

If you've read my previous post, you'd know that I've gotten rid of the salt nail art cause seriously the wine red was starting to freak me out!

So for all of you asking if the sale will last, I'm sorry I can't give you an accurate answer! I will be trying it again with a cute pastel colour then I'll be able to tell you about it's lasting power!

Till then, the answer's gotta wait. =)

Good thing about my previous manicure is that I only have to repaint one nail. Yay!!


Matte french tip nails are everywhere online. However, a large majority of pictures I've seen have a matte base and shiny tips.

I decided to 'flip' the idea around with a matte tip cause frankly, it was way easier! =P

For this manicure, I used Ulta3 in Twilight Fever from Tezza's giveaway (yayyyy!!) and Chi Chi matte nail polish reviewed here.


Twilight Fever has a real unique colour. It's kind of a dark plum-brown with purple micro shimmers.

I managed to pick up the shimmers in the picture!


To achieve a straight clean matte line, I used the tape technique I used previously here.

It's really simple and fuss free!

Try it!! =D


Hope your enjoyed this!

I prefer this sooo much more than the last bloody looking salt one!

Hehehehehe...

Cheers!!

  1. I should probably try using tape for my nail designs... I'm so sick of trying to get the lines straight with just the nail polish brush T__T

    The design looks so classy :)

  4. cute nails! I like how you "flipped" the idea around - either way though, I like this nail look. I have yet to get my hands on a matte top coat!

  5. I'm lazy with nail art too and this seems easy to do! however, I think I'll go OCD on the tape not being straight on my nail and take forever. I usually just put some glitter polish on top of a random color and go.
    Your creativity is awesomesauceee. The salt and now this reversed thing skdhakghdk ♥
