Matte will never be a passing trend for me. I've never liked the look of a glossy nail. It looks plastic to me. Nothing is as elegant and sophisticated as a rich, matte nail polish. Matte makes electric teal look svelte and suave, and there is nothing like matte black!!

Im sorry but I must be the only person in the world who isnt keen on matte nail varnish! I think I would choose something shiny or glittery everytime! By the way your nails are gorgeous! Mine never grow nicely :(

Great color, and I especially love the brand name, just adds to my excitement :D

Yawn!

Yawn!

Aww I think they look great on you, Scrangie! I really loved Orly's Matte Couture Collection - formula and all! And they seemed to outlast most mattes I own! But I do agree, the matte trend is getting a little burnt out! :)

I agree, these new Orly mattes aren't that great. I mean, come on, three colors? They could have at least given us some cool colors, but all they gave were three that are kind of boring. I mean, kudos to people who like them, but I don't. They make me wanna snooze.

I LOVE how matte those are. That purple, the second one down, is really growing on me!

2009-10-10T22:29:27.652-05:00

I was wondering about these, I saw them at Sally's and really wanted the purple one but now that I see your swatches I'm "meh" on it.

I'm kind of over matte since I tried Essie's MAY... I tried it over so much stuff and in the end felt "meh" over 98% of it... matte just ruins the complexity of most shades.

OMG! I love the blue & black one! where did you pu...

Gorgeous mattes! But since I discovered Essie matte about you I can't bring myself to buy any mattes :/ But still they look amazing

Adorei ! Cores fortes !

2009-10-10T00:06:11.399-05:00

I've had Purple Velvet sitting on my tv stand for about a week or two now and haven't used it yet. I'm still not sure how I feel about the matte trend. I do love my CG Fortune Teller under CG Matte Topcoat, though.

thanks Scrangie. I just can't get into the mattes....

2009-10-09T22:52:26.997-05:00

thanks Scrangie.
I just can't get into the mattes. i think they look dull and boring. i prefer glossy nails!

2009-10-09T21:21:42.283-05:00

I do prefer using MAY as opposed to buying matte polishes; I get wear like a regular mani, and I can put it over glitters/shimmers w/ awesome results!

2009-10-09T20:43:02.092-05:00

Thanks for posting these photos! I've seen some swatches elsewhere, but somehow yours help me see these in a 'now my lemming is dead' kind of way. That black does look neat, though.

I think a lot of Orly's collections are too conservative. Following a trend, but nothing daring. Maybe that's their constituency, and maybe that's why I've never been thrilled with much they put out. Suited me fine in the Prepster Collection, love Cashmere Cardigan, but otherwise? Yawn.

2009-10-09T20:26:42.615-05:00

I saw these sitting right next to the China Glaze Matte Magic and ended up getting that. I love the black, but prefer the option of matte-ing any of my already owned colors. OPI's Russian Navy Matte really tempted me but not enough to justify the expense for something that, at least for me, will be a fad.
So far all I've coated is Orly's Enchanted Forrest, which I have on now. It's the second day and I'm satisfied with the matte that is left.
Matte is something I'll play with while it's still new to me, but I still prefer a high gloss look.

I picked up Blue Suede and I like it ok. I felt like it stayed around longer than my zoya mattes.

The black looks very great (even awesome) but I still don't feel like buying matte polish and prefer to stick to my bottle of Essie MAY....

2009-10-09T18:42:32.375-05:00

I have to agree with you on every account here. I love my Essie MAY, but I won't go out and by spesific matte polishes (maybe except for the OPI Suedes).

Blue Suede is very photogenic. It reminds me of a bird's egg.

I tend to like matte polishes with a shimmer formula better. I love the idea of using these as a base for Konad.

2009-10-09T18:14:00.800-05:00

Well,first of all thanks for the swatches.

These were the only mattes I bought, together with a few OPI suedes. I'm not liking the matte trend at all, but I liked the black for funky frenchs and the other two I'm gonna wear with a top coat (might be holo top coat as well).

I loved the colors glossy, but not matte (nor any matte actually).

Oh gosh those are lovely. I have been a bad girl,...

2009-10-09T18:10:18.682-05:00

Oh gosh those are lovely. I have been a bad girl, I just had to have some of those lovely Nubars you posted, the OPI Suedes and Mattes, and I have most of the OPI Holiday Collection as well as the Halloween OPI and China Glaze sets. They are in my Jeep. I couldn't sneak them in without Mr. Lesa seeing them. I can't wait to get my hands on the Orly Mattes. Mr. Lesa is going hunting tomorrow, so I can put all my pretties away then. I even organized my Urban Decay Makeup drawers down to one drawer so I would have more room for new polish. OCD about beauty stuff? You betcha!
