Bad Trend Alert

Written by Bryce

Matte-finish nails.

I have a major bone to pick.  It’s called nail POLISH for a reason.  The intention is to have a little shine, and even if you pick the most demure color, you’re supposed to end up with 10 little glamorously shiny surfaces.

So let it be known: matte nail polish, I will not support you.

On top of being generally lackluster, matte nail polishes come in heinous colors like grey, taupe, and awful variations of the bone-color family.  I suggest only giving this trend a try if you want to do any of the following:

  • drive men away
  • look like you have a finger fungus
  • not look feminine

  • YES! Bryce I love you. I read about matte colored nails a few weeks ago and couldn’t believe why anyone in the world would want dull colored polish on their pretty little fingers.
