Perfect for anyone to use
This is exactly how i want a basic matte top coat to be like. I am a 2 year running nail tech and this shocked me considering. It dries super fast! This acted like a gel top coat, did not chip or lift, or crack, ripple nothing. My only complaint would be how small they make the essie brushes. Most people have wide nail beds… other than that i love this matte top coat

I love the matte top coat and use often
I love the matte top coat and use often. It is great for adding variety to my nail polish collection since each color looks different with a matte finish vs. gloss. The one downside I have found is that it tends to chip a bit easier than essie’s regular top coat. Other than that I have no complaints. Besides the look, I was worried when purchasing about the texture of the nail polish once dry but it is perfectly smooth.

Ooooh, I love it!
Gorgeous effect. I did also get some of those white specks that other people talked about but I think that no one would ever notice unless they were 6 inches from your nails so it’s ok. I love the look.

Works great
Dries quickly and transforms shiny into matte. I read a tip about applying after my top coat to keep things smooth and that seems to help a lot. Looking forward to using this to create different looks.

Butter London is my favorite, and in my opinion
When rating a matte coat you’re really looking for longevity of the matte. There is NO matte top coat that won’t turn into a satin finish after a few days due to oils and other things we come in contact with. Butter London is my favorite, and in my opinion, the best in that it will stay matte for almost an entire week. Unfortunately it comes with a hefty price tag of $18 a bottle. I have searched high and low for a matte that will match Butter London in quality with a more reasonable price and Essie Matte About You is definitely it! You cannot beat the velvety finish it gives (lasts about 3-4 days) for the price!For those who are fellow matte top coat lovers and are curious – I have tried several, including Revlon’s (NOT a matte at all – it is a satin) – if you’re looking for an even CHEAPER price tag, I recommend Sally Hansen’s Big Matte Top Coat. In a pinch it is the best ‘cheap’ matte you can get, although the effects last for only a day or so.

Best matte top coat I have used
Best matte top coat I have used. I find that personally it looks best with darker colors but that has tons to do with personal preference. The topcoat applies evenly and will smooth itself out. Be aware that this topcoat dries incredibly fast so you have to work quickly to get it on the nail in an even layer. I recommend using a thicker than normal application and just cleaning up the edges if needed after with some acetone. This thicker layer helps with even coverage and cuts back on the streaking and pulling. The polish will streak and pull if you work too slowly as it will start to dry on you and you will find yourself dragging the semi-dry product around the nail. Overall a fantastic nail polish will 100% purchase again i love it.

Effective and quick-drying!
This arrived in the mail several days after I’d applied my nail polish, but out of curiosity I painted over a few nails. (The first photo shows with a regular top coat; the second has matte on middle and pinky fingers.) The coat was dry within about 30 seconds and went matte almost instantly after application. I can’t attest to longevity of the top coat because I only received it yesterday, but I’m really happy with how well and quickly it worked upon application. I recommend it!

Pretty decent product but takes forever to ship.
This product took MONTHS to arrive at my door. I genuinely forgot that I even ordered it, when it finally came. So if you don’t mind waiting, this might be a good choice.As far as the actual product, it’s pretty nice. With most matte top coats I’ve tried, I find they come out extremely streaky. This one in particular, the streaks were far less noticeable. My nails would look about 75% matte after one coat. I usually double up with a super thin layer just for extra matte-ness.

It is VERY matte and dries VERY quickly
It certainly gets the job done, and very well at that. It also dries insanely fast My only dislike about it is the way it smudges my design. nothing annoys me more than if i just spent 3 hours painting a very intricate design on my nails and the top coat smudges it. however I’ve solved this by, when I’ve finished my design, putting a thick coat of glossy quick dry top coat that i know doesn’t smudge, letting that dry and then adding this matte top coat over it.

Smoothest Matt top coat
You can see with flash it still doesn’t reflect the light. It’s very smooth and dries fast. Perfect Matt coat, hasn’t chipped after 3 days of regular day cleaning n stuff.

Amazing!
I got this after being recommended by SimplyNailogical and I just adore it! I got the matte topcoat and it works like a charm! One coat is enough, it’s a nice matte and helps hide any blemishes in the polish. It’s good with one coat but I did two just to be safe and I had no problems with it, it stayed matte all week and didn’t peel, flake or break at all. It is hard to get off but I used just normal Acetone remover and it came off after a minute or two. This is the best matte top coat I have tried out of the 10-12 I’ve used.

Matte effect wears off
Compared to the first matte top coat I bought from a different brand/seller, this one is WAY better.It applies smoothly, dries relatively quickly, and doesn’t have any alarming odors. The other one I bought was so thick and goopy it was impossible to apply smoothly and took almost a full day to fully dry. It also had a weird odor like really strong Krazy Glue.However, the matte effect wears off a little after 2-3 days and begins to start showing the nail polishes sheen. This is a smaller bottle than most nail polishes and priced higher than a lot of similar brands (although this seller actually had it $0.10 cheaper than Target, so it’s definitely not due to excessive seller markups). I’ll finish the bottle I bought, but I probably won’t be purchasing it again when it runs out.

GREat!!
The matte topcoat does work, but I think it makes the polish chip very fast. ( yes, I am using a normal top coat before the matte top coat which is what you should do.) The product is a good size and good quality, it just chips fast like I said. 😂😂😂😂😂😀😀😀😀

Chipped quickly
I tried this over a regular Essie color and it looked great. It really gave it that matte look. In my picture, my left hand has the matte top coat but my right hand does not yet. You can see how huge of a difference it makes. My nails looked great once I added the top coat to the other hand and cleaned up the edges (I’m a messy nail painter, I know). However, it started chipping ridiculously quickly. Within a day, my manicure was completely destroyed and I had to take the rest of it off because it looked so bad. I will have to try it again with a different color and brand to see if I get the same bad results.Update: I tried this top coat with Covergirl XL Nail Gel and it still chipped within a day, which was sad because it looked so good!

Best Matte top coat
This is amazing made the polish last longer and helped me with my nail art, very easy to remove and I’ve had it on for a week looks as vibrant as the first day I put it on. The coat isn’t to thin to not protect the nail polish and isn’t to thick so it dries quickly.

This Top Coat Is Dull!
I will admit that when I purchased this “matte about you” topcoat by Essie I had no idea it would literally look like my toenails got a matte coating similar to what they put on Teslas. This topcoat turned my beautiful, blue, shiny toenails into dull, weird looking toenails. I do not like this product at all.

Magic in a bottle
I’ve always loved dark matte polish. Finding those is almost impossible these days, so I’ve tried a couple of matte top coat, and they were all between bad and terrible.This one isn’t. This one is magic. Your polish becomes matte a few seconds after application – by the time you get to the fifth nail, the first one is already done – and dries completely in a minute.Super easy to apply in one swipe (the brush is thick and wide), no smudge. It goes on like any regular top coat, it’s that easy. The results is a great matte, with no lines, no bubbles, no artifacts.As I’m mostly using dark polish, it seems to make the actual color easier to see, maybe a little less dark?The only thing I can’t comment on is the longevity, both of the matte effect and of the polish in the bottle, but I’ll be sure to update my review after I’ve used it for a while.[Edit] I kept the manicure in the pics for more than a week. No chipping (but that’s probably due to the GTG top-coat). Some people have commented that the matte effect wears off. It does NOT, however it will show any kind of greasy stuff on your nails, unlike natural nails or shiny polishes. Just washing your hands will solve that problem (or use some alcohol pad).First picture is Expressie Now or Never with Good To Go top coat. Second picture is the same with one coat of Matte About You, two minutes later.

YOU NEED THIS!!!🙉
(My photos dont do it justice, not even close. The nail polish I have on has begun to peel and its old with many indentations and screw ups. Believe it or not this top coat made it look so much better so dont judge it on the way my nail polish in general looks application wise, just judge how matte and soft it is. SO SOFT!!);I’m seriously in disbelief with how amazing this nail polish is. When getting a matte nail polish I went and watched a favorite YouTube of mine (simplynaillogical) to find out what was what she said “the best.” This was the product that she recommended and I’m so happy I gave it a try. Normally matte nail polishes, you can see every streak and mistake but this matte top coat is seamless. It is so smoothed almost kind of blurred. It does not make your imperfections stand out if anything it actually helps them to look flawless. I love this so much. I can not wait to buy so many different colored nail polish and not have to actively search out for a matte one and just be able to get whatever I want and turn it into matte. It also drys really fast and is so soft to the touch and smooth. I cant rave about this Matte About You top coat. I know I’ll definitely be repurchasing because I’m going to end up going through a lot and hella fast haha.Definitely definitely buy this if you want your polish to be turned matte or be able to keep your already matte nail polish matte. This is not for gel nail polish. I personally never use gel and it has been getting harder and harder now to find the type of polish you want and it to be regular nail polish. God I love this product haha.

Decent Matte Top Coat
The essie top coat does what it is suppose to do. My nails look amazing with the matte top coat but there are a few issues. For one, my nail polish chip so easily when I use the product. I usually use an essie or opi nail polish and then apply an opi top coat and my nails last a little over a week (sometimes up to two weeks without chipping). When I add the essie matte top coat, my nails chip under a week which is a bit frustrating for me. I’ve even tried applying the opi top coat and then the essie matte top coat and it still chips in under a week. Another issue is the matte top coat needs to be applied at least twice a week. After a few days, the nail polish starts to look glossy so the top coat it only effective for 2-3 days before it needs to be reapplied. I do like how my nails look but I’m trying to find another matte top coat that last longer than this one and prevents chipping.

Does the matte affect, but chips polish
I have now used this matte top coat on 2 different colors, and brands of polish. It does the matte effect beautifully, however with both polishes they chip easily. Both within 24 hours I had chips in the corner of my nails. I do my own nails often and have use the polishes with other top coats and they lasted as a normal polish 1-2 weeks without chips. I will keep trying to use this but I am afraid it just weakens whatever you put it on.

Perfect
After Covid I started doing my own nails and had been doing dip powder. I stopped to let my nails grow naturally and get stronger and matte was my favorite look but couldn’t find any non gel matte top coats. This is exactly what I’ve been wanting! Dries fast and has a perfect matte look on non gel polish. Love it!

De-shines clear polish
I’m a guy, and I broke a nail. I tried fixing it with superglue and it didn’t work out. I tried clear (“invisible”) nail polish from my drugstore, and it was great at holding the crack together, but it was so shiny that I didn’t like it.This product fixed the problem. Since then, I’ve put on 2 coats of clear polish to protect my nails, and then this top coat makes my nails look normal, which is all I wanted. Would buy again 👍

Meh
The matte effect only lasts a day or two. It’s pretty disappointing to be honest. Additionally, as a top coat, it doesn’t really keep my polish on longer. It’s fine for a special occasion, but don’t expect too much.

Does the job
Works as far as making polish matte (tried with Essie polish in shade mooning), but I feel it could do a better job of preventing chipping. Polish was chipping from my right hand within a couple hours after doing some dishes.

Turn any nail color into a matte color.
There is nothing that I dislike about this top coat. I purchased a couple of matte nail polishes, but only recently learned of matte top coats. I am an Essie polish fan, so I may be biased, but this top coat dries fast, wears well, and even gives a cream or glossy nail polish a matte finish.

Best “drugstore” matte topcoat you will use!
The best affordable miracle worker matte topcoat!! Make sure your base layer/s is/are fully dry or it may pick up the base polish when you apply it on top. A little goes a long way too! I would definitely get it again.

amazing top coat
amazing top coat. I find that in 3 or 4 days it doesn’t look as matte as the first day, but then I just apply another coat and it’s perfect! I love to change up my regular manicure to a matte manicure by simply putting this on top of my regular manicure after a week for a whole new look.

Don’t forget to wipe!!
Not horrible but beware when putting on dry polish it will pull the color up. You will need a towel on the side to wipe your brush or you will get color in the bottle (I use OPI polish)

Disappointed
Essie does a very nice job of matting your nail color, however I found that within a day or two, the surface starts to crack and look bad. I found this same problem with OPI matte top coat. I don’t know why this happens.

Velvety matte finish
Does ‘pull’ the color a bit, though, it could be that I’m not allowing the base color to dry thoroughly before applying this top coat.

Beautiful matte, dries fast
Beautiful matte look. Dries fast. I would recommend two coats. And be sure the color polish is completely dry. The top coat can pull the color off if it’s not completely dry, with certain color polishes.
