ZOYANail Polish, Yves Mattevelvet, 0.5 fl. oz.

Love the matte finish, but as another reviewer stated- it does stain around your nails and fingertips if you run over or try to clean a blop with a fingernail. TIP 1: Always apply a base coat that completely covers your nail. TIP 2: You need to go slow and focus when you're applying it. Rest your hand on a flat, steady surface and use additional light to be sure you can achieve precision application. If it gets on your skin you'll want to remove it right away, BUT if you're stopping mid way through a nail to grab a remover pad, you may need to start the entire nail over again. It's hard not to touch your "in progress" polish when using remover, and you may end up both a smudge and a stain on your skin.

The Good: Great matte nail polish, rich color. Dries quickly.The Bad: does stain parts of your nails blue despite base coat upon removal. Chips easily if you have long nails.

I'll start out by saying the color is amazing! Love the matte. Nice consistency & brush.Getting this stuff off is a complete nightmare!! Buyer beware! My entire fingertips were blue. I used extra polish remover then even moved on to alcohol wipes. It just doesn't want to come off! Stained my hands & nails for days.

This really is matte and velvet. It doesn't wear quite as long as other equally expensive brands (OPI, Sally Hanson, etc.) and will chip a day or two before those brands would, but the finish is unique and tactile. Great sophisticated colour and sophisticated matte finish. I like it (I'm middle aged) and my teenaged friends (17 and 18) like it too.

I really like the polish. Drys really quick. Would like it to last a little longer but I am rough on my nails

My nail tech thinks this good polish (not gel) and I love the color.

Who doesn't LOVE Zoya especially when they come out with their matte collections. This Blue is simply fabulous. What else can I say. I would buy it again in an instant. You are reading a review from a gal who has over 150 bottles of Zoya nail polish. You will LOVE IT!

Obsessed with matte nails, and looking for a favorite. I am not certain this is it. The color is beautiful. Deep blue with sapphire glimmer. The consistency was a bit thin, and the finish is more simi-matte.

Gorgeous metallic blue matte finish.
