For anyone who didn't hear about these the first time around, Zoya's Matte Velvet polishes are soft, velvety matte-textured beauties that are meant to be worn without a base coat or top coat. All six shades have a thin but pigmented formula that is opaque in two coats with no balding, streaking or running. They are not long-wearing unless you use top coat, but fortunately, they're gorgeous with a shiny finish, so it just comes down to preference. All swatches are two coats.
Dovima is a matte black.

Zoya has a matte top-coat available now and I find that it enhances the matte-ness of the matte polishes and really sets in for long-wear. I've had mine on for a few days and did a large intake of heavy-lifting cases-of-cans shipment all day today and still don't have a single chip - washed my hands about 25 times through the work day and still have a nice matte finish.
ReplyDeleteAs nice as the matte polishes are, the Zoya matte top coat takes the cake.
Oooh, good to know, Meaghan! Thanks. :)
