Matte manicure is a stylish and elegant choice for those who want to stand out among the many classic glossy finishes. Its popularity continues to grow, and it has held a strong position in manicure trends for many years now. However, like any trend, matte manicure has its own peculiarities, which should be taken into account when choosing.

1. Elegance and sophistication

A matte manicure looks very understated and sophisticated, making it an ideal choice for formal events or business meetings. It doesn't draw too much attention, but still looks stylish and expensive.

2. Disguises nail imperfections

The matte texture perfectly hides small imperfections and irregularities on the nail plate. If your nails are not perfect in shape or texture, a matte manicure will help make them visually flatter and smoother.

3. Unconventional look

Unlike gloss, which always looks bright and eye-catching, matte finish gives a more subdued and original impression. It is the perfect choice for those who want to try something new and stand out among the usual glossy manicures.

4. Even application

A quality matte finish contains a dense colouring agent that ensures even distribution over the nail surface, preventing streaks and streaks.

5. Versatility

Matte manicure is suitable for any season and combination with different clothing styles. It will look appropriate both with casual looks and evening dresses. Especially winning matte manicure looks with dark or saturated colours such as bordeaux, black, dark blue or emerald.

1. Difficult to maintain

A matte manicure is more demanding to maintain. It can get dirty and stained easily as it lacks reflective properties that help hide dirt and fingerprints. For example, matte nails can quickly absorb oil or dirt, making them more susceptible to dirt.

2. Difficulty in correction

If a chipped or cracked nail appears on a matte manicure, it is quite difficult to correct such a defect. Often the only option is to redo the entire manicure, as the repair can be noticeable, and the matte texture will not hide the traces of work.

3. Less colour vibrancy

Matte finishes do not have the bright sheen that is inherent in glossy finishes. This can be a disadvantage for those who like their manicure to be more colourful and noticeable. However, if you want to add shine, you can combine a matte manicure with glossy accents.

4. Not always suitable for all nail types

A matte finish may not be suitable for short nails as it emphasises their shape and size. While a matte manicure looks sophisticated and luxurious on long nails, it may look less neat on short nails.

1. Business and formal events

Matte manicure is perfect for office work and business meetings. It looks restrained but stylish. For such occasions, you can choose neutral colours such as grey, beige, soft pink or navy blue. This will create an elegant but not flashy look.

2. Evening events and holidays

For more formal occasions, you can opt for brighter and more intense colours - such as deep shades of bordeaux, purple or black. Combined with a matte finish, such colours look particularly elegant and luxurious.

3. For those who love minimalism

If you like a minimalist style, a matte manicure is the perfect choice. In combination with a laconic design (for example, a single-coloured coating without patterns), it will look very stylish and modern.

4. Matte finish with accents

For those who are not ready to completely abandon glitter, you can combine a matte manicure with glossy accents. For example, a matte finish on most nails and glossy or gold accents on one or two fingers. This will add interest and make the manicure more versatile.

5. For autumn and winter

Matte manicures are especially popular during the colder months when deep colours such as burgundy, dark greens, blues, and neutral tones are perfect for a cosy atmosphere.

1. Nail care. To make a matte manicure look neat and last a long time, it is important to properly care for your nails and cuticle. Apply moisturisers to keep your nails from looking dry.

2. Choosing a quality finish. Use only quality matte lacquers or tops to achieve a long-lasting and beautiful result.

3. Correction in case of damage. Keep an eye on your manicure and at the first signs of damage or wear immediately remove defects, as they will be much more noticeable on a matte manicure than on a glossy one.
