The matte trend may be currently in the field of makeup, but that doesn’t exclude the fact that it is excellent for nails as well.
Many people might agree that the world pushed it a little too far with the looong, sequined, rhinestoned, striped, glittery nails that were so huge in 2016. Which is why we need to go a few steps back, back to class, to simplicity if you will.
And these matte nails will most definitely inspire you to make those steps. Class is not a trend, it’s a staple.
