Turning Your Ordinary Nail Polish into a Matte Nail Polish

matte nail polish

Hi this post will be about the experiment that I did a few days ago. I just discovered this while I was removing my nail polish. So I tried doing it again. Here are the things you would need:

Two nail polishes, one the color of your choice and of course the colorless nail polish. You would also need an acetone and some cotton balls. 

So while I was removing my nail polish, I noticed that before the nail polish comes off, it turns into a matte finish so I tried doing it again. What I did was, I painted my nails with more layers than usual then placing the colorless nail polish at the top. These layers will help your nail polish stay while applying some acetone.

In the picture above, I did the process in the middle finger. You would notice that that nail has a matte finish, unlike the other nails. 

So there, after doing the same process on the other nails, I now have matte nails. However, this is just an alternative, if you have money to spend on a real matte nail polish, you may buy that and it might look better.

Trying Out the DIY Nail Art

I Just want to share with you guys the "nail art" that I did. I tried doing those nail arts that I saw on the internet; and they are NOT as easy as it seems.

Here are my nail polish collection and I chose two colors from here that I am going to use.

caronia nail polish

chic nude nail polish

I chose these two because I thought they looked nice. However, I would not recommend using these colors if you want noticeable nails.

So here are the things I used


The scissors that I used is really crappy. I cannot cut a straight line with it so the result is not good either. But anyway. I cut small strips of tape and stuck it on my nails to form a pattern. I thought it turned out okay but not good enough because of the zigzag edges. It would be nicer to use real nail art tools or a decent pair of scissors. Haha. You may even ask a professional do it for you. But I think this DIY tools' results is acceptable.

These are the finished product. If you want a better and beautiful nail art, go to a professional. Haha. Unless you are bored and you have the materials needed, then better try these yourself. Most of you can probably do better than I did.
