It's not easy to get the finish perfect due to the combination of my poor condition nails, the thin Chanel polish and unforgiving matte topcoat, but I found OPI's Ridge Filler to help immensely.
I'm absolutely loving this look for Autumn.

Nailed: Matte Peridot
Continuing my obsession with matte nails for Autumn... I tried my Rimmel Pro matte top coat on top of Chanel Peridot the other day, and just look at the effect!
Peridot was a bit of a disappointment for me. I do love the shade, but it just doesn't look as pretty on the nails as it does in the bottle (check out my original nail of the day post here). Putting a matte topcoat over it however, seems to transform it into something quite special...
The gold tones really come out and it has an almost velvet finish... so beautiful.

I think Chanel has a nail polish that makes your polishes matte as well. Maybe that combo (Chanel-Chanel) would work even better? Just a suggestion...

Try Opi's nail envy!! There's a deal on ASOS atm, you get a free speed dry coat aswel. Reduces brittle etc. Could use both ridge filler and that together? I was disappointed with the chanel nailpolish originally, but i LOVE it matte! x
ReplyDeleteI really don't like Peridot on its own, but here it looks gorgeous! <3
ReplyDeleteI agree that it looks MUCH nicer with the matte finish. In the bottle it looks so deep and tonal but on the nails (without the matte topcoat) it just looks a bit flat.
ReplyDeleteLove it! xx

This is amazing! I've never been particularly interested in investing in Peridot BUT(!) with my Rimmel matte topcoat this could be a beautiful thing!

That's a nice way to use Peridot! I never thought about doing this, and just like you, I am not a massive fan of the glossy version of it. I'll have to try this for sure!

ReplyDeleteIm really not a fan of Chanel polishes, i havent found that the quality is as good as others.
ReplyDeleteThe colour on the nails is gorgeous but nowhere near as how stunning it looks in the bottle! Looks very unique with the matte coat on it!
