Here's Opi mtc over Zoya Chantal from the Naturel Collection.

This next one is also one of my favorite matte manicures. 

This one is Opis mtc over Morgan Taylor "Berry Perfection" 

This stamping image is also from Born Pretty Store. This one is from plate BP-05

So, why do I love opi matte topcoat the best? Because it dries everything to such a smooth looking finish. In my own experience, some matte top coats leave a more waxy finish, especially over cremes. Sorry if you like the waxy finishes but I'm not much of a fan. When I saw what opi matte did over a creme I was sold. Fabulousness! (Yes I like making up fun new words) I use it over everything from cremes to shimmers and metallics. I can NOT get enough! Matte ALL the manicures!

As always all opinions are honest and 100% my own. 

Top: Pink Love  Bottom: Rose Crush 

They're both really pretty, what I would call rosy toned pinks. They're retractable pencils which is nice because I always misplace my sharpener! 

Next I have two new Twist & Shine moisturizing lip balm stains. 

Fresh Fig 

Gorgeous Peony

I was already a big fan of these so I was excited to get two more to add to my lippie collection. They're smooth and moisturizing while still having some color pay off. Gorgeous peony is just that, Gorgeous! 

Now onto the photo heavy portion of my post. The Modern Matte Lipstick line. This includes 12 shades! Ready? Here we goooo! 

Matte Blush 

Matte Tease

Matte Popular

The Modern Matte collection is nice. Some apply more creamy than others but all dry down to a nice matte finish. They take a minute or two to become fully matte, which I learned while taking these swatch photos. These are right after application some are not as set as others and have some shine, my apologies for that mistake. Back to the positive, I have a few absolute favorites, Matte Classy being number one. And of course Matte Style because I love a nice red lippie! I'm also loving Matte Popular and Matte It Girl and I've never loved such vibrant pink lippies before. 

Jordana you have changed me!

I hope you all enjoyed this post. You can find these online here or in drugstores that carry Jordana products.
