Just a few days back I did a haul post on Flormar matte nail enamels I purchased from RIOS hyperstar. Today I am posting my review on them. Long before I was aware of the existence of matte nail colors I always wondered if there would ever be nail colors without any shine and lustre? Just sometime back, I discovered matte nail enamels. This is the first time I am using Flormar matte nail colors although I have used their other nail colors before. Lets see how this one went. 

I hadn't spotted Flormar matte nail enamel collection in any other store. It was the first time I saw them in RIOS. I was very much tempted to buy them. Although I remember seeing some other brand's matte nail paints and at that time I was like, don't buy them you have a matte top coat that can turn every nail color into matte so don't throw away your money. This time however, I submittted to my temptation and purchased four of these colors as they were quite unique compared to other shades I have. 

 Flormar matte nail enamels come in a thick glass bottle which is a bit different from regular bottles in a way that the glass is dense and a little tinted giving the nail enamel a frosted look which looks very catchy. The cap is black and pretty long which provides good hold on the brush for easier application. The content size is 11 ml. 

 I find the applicator brush a little thin for my taste. I like the ones that are thick so as to cover the nail with one swipe. But its a personal preference, nothing wrong with the product itself. 

 Now coming to the swatches of the nail enamel. Here is what it looks like after two coats. All pictures have been taken with a flash light. 

I am a big fan of Flormar's nail paint's range. They have a vast variety when it comes to nails. I simply love their colors and excellent formulation. This is the first time I am using their matte nail shades and I am simply smitten with them. The shade you see above is M05, I suppose M stands for matte here. They have not named their colors rather numbered them. Its a beautiful turquoise matte color and appears quite opaque after two applications. The matte quality is quite good. It tends to make my hands and feet appear fairer. However in the pictures above, I am surprized, they are looking quite tan. 

It takes about a minute for the nail color to dry. Once you are done applying on both hands, you can promptly re apply on the first hand since it has dried out completely by that time. The formulation of the nail colors is thick which makes it a bit streaky over the nails so you need to be really careful with the application. This also means that the nail paints may dry out pretty quick. I would recommend using them alot before they dry out in the bottle since I have a hunch they will. 

I am impressed with the lasting ability of this nail color. It lasted on me for 3 to 4 days without chipping and that too without a top coat. With a top coat it will last even longer. All in all I absolutely love this nail color and recommend buying it if you are into matte nails. 

Leave it:

• Not into matte shades and prefer shiney nails
• Streakiness may be a problem
• Dry out fast and die
