The Winter Challenge Day 4 - Black Nails

For day 4 of the challenge I wanted to do something different so I decided to play around with my matte top coat by chi chi. As this was to be the first time I used it for 'real' I decided to do three different nails and then continue from there on what I wanted to do for the rest of my fingers. 


I first used Rimmel's 'Black Out' and did two coats. For the matte top coat I used some sticky tape to divide my middle finger diagonally, one side being matte and the other side not matte. For my index finger I painted it matte all over and left my ring finger normal, without the matte top coat, for comparison. 


Long story cut short, it did not work and I am very disappointed in how this turned out. Not only did it just not look that prominent but after only a few hours the matte seemed to disappear and fade away. It is still kind of there, but barely. And I experienced tip wear after 2 hours of wearing it by just surfing the internet and going on facebook (nothing heavy duty like typing an essay or something). 

Here are the photos. I apologise for this boring and bland post but I'm just really disappointed. I didn't even clean away the excess polish sorry! 

Lets hope tomorrow's grey nails go better :)

Cheers
