Hello Marie58, Thank you for sharing your experience with the Gel Couture 'matte top coat'. We want to understand what happened just as much as you do! Matte finishes can develop a bit of shine after using hand moisturizers and oils, but a quick swipe with an alcohol soaked cotton pad will pull any residue off the nails to restore the matte look. If you would like to speak to us directly about your recent purchase, give us a call @ 866-313-7845 M-F 9 am-5:30 pm ET

I love, love this nail color set I got the mate top coat along with a berry/fuchsia nail polish color and OMG it is absolutely beautiful. One coat is enough and it dries up fast. My girls absolutely loved it and so did I.
yes, I recommend this product.

I enjoy that this gives a nice matte finish. however, the polish takes a while to dry and it chips very easily.

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience with the new gel couture matte top coat. We wish you could see all the results you were hoping for longwear top coat with a velvety soft finish. For best results, apply 2 coats of the gel couture color to bare, clean nails (no base coat is used) and top with a thin coat of the gel couture matte top coat.

Not sure if I did it correctly.

I love the look of this bottle, it is elegant and unique. I am not so sure that it can be used with nail polish that is not the same brand tho.. I think that was my mistake. I really liked the application of the matte top coat and thought the after product was adorablely matte but it didn't dry properly and messed up within the first day.
no, I do not recommend this product.

Hi there! We wish you could see the results you were hoping for with the gel couture matte top coat. This new formula seals in gel couture color with a luxurious, soft-matte finish. Transform you favorite colors with a velvety soft finish, without the shine.

Love the matte

The matte effect makes your mani look more edgy and it just a change from shiny manicures. I’m excited to try more colors. I highly recommend if you like to switch it up and try new things.
yes, I recommend this product.

I hate sitting and waiting in overpriced nail salons so this polish is a dream come true. I wasn’t thrilled the last few times and realized it was because I decided to use a base coat from another company. I will stick with using the product as instructed :)
