Tips and Tricks

Matte Nails


So the other day I watched a video by Michelle Phan on how to make your nail polish look matte which was perfect because I was planning on buying a matte nail polish anyway. I just thought I would share the method with you because it's really easy and cool!


1. Paint your nails with any colour of nail polish
2. Fill a pan with water and put on to the heat
3. When the water begins to steam, quite quickly paint on your second coat of nail polish
4. Making sure your nails are still wet, hold them over the steam for around 10 seconds (don't hold too close or you might scald yourself!)
5. Now your nails should be matte! They will also look as though they are dry but they're not so leave them until they are before doing anything!


It's quite hard to see in the pictures the difference between the matte and the shiny because of the lighting but once you've done it you'll see how cool it is!
