What's a black nail polish that we still stay black under a matte coat? I have tried matte polishes and topcoats and it usually makes the black turn into more of a gray color. I would rather like if it would retain a deep black color but it seems hard to do with matte.

O.P.I. Lady in black.
Also O.P.I's matte top coat is pretty great, although I personally like suede even more

Also this board is 90% male.
Skinnygossip forums are the best! You'll get lots of helpful advice there :)

What nail polish are you using? I've never had that problem. Try leather fx nail polish, it's matte and texturized.

not OP but I had this happen when I used manglaze and barry m. it would be black at first but then over a day or two it would still look dark but distinctly gray.

isn't that just pro-healthy weight?

>> No.8539980

>>8539817
well it depends on what you consider healthy.
Anything between 16-21 BMI is considered good enough there.
Anything over is usually judged and ridiculed (which I don't agree with though).

If your BMI is 16.5 you should probably got to the doctor. Or at least start eating.

two years ago I was 15.7 so I've gained weight (which is quite hard since I have a thyroid condition). I don't think I'm too skinny at all though now.
I actually eat a lot, for example, today:
- breakfast: fench toast and chocolate milkshake
-lunch: Greek salad and noodles
-dinner: two slices of pizza and fries
-snacks: scones (w/ jam), crisps
also water and soda all day

I think i eat rather a lot, and eating more makes me feel sick.

I think it looks really cute, but it depends on a personal preference; if you like the idea of it, do it!

16.5 isn't all that underweight surprisingly, especially for people with certain relatively minor conditions.

Chanel's matte topcoat will mattify your true colour rather than lightening it like some people do. It's probably your mattifier that isn't working - not your polish.

With matte polish, you should be "sandwiching" your layers of polish between layers of base coat since you can't use a topcoat to seal in the top layer. So that means your application will go something like this:
base coat
black polish
base coat
black polish
mattifier/matte topcoat

drying about 2-3 minutes between coats.

that's the real reason men don't paint their nails. not because it's faggy, but because it takes far far too long for something so pointless. only women have that kind of patience.
