I was stumped by this challenge fumbling around trying to come up with an idea. For some reason when I think of a matte I think only black looks good matted. I thought about mattifying my teal color but for some reason I didn't want to try that. I'm pretty pleased kinda sorta but, it took me several tries to get it looking right. I had bubbling issues, not applying neatly I guess ♪it's just one of them days♪ You know what I'm talking about. Ha!

The teal is NYX Girls Algae a very pretty teal creme. I used two coats. For my accent ring finger I used a stark matte white took three coats to get opaque OPI Alpine Snow Matte was released fall 2009. Stamped using Mash38 using the heartbeat image design.
I'm loving these new Mash plates!

I wanted the matte to last so I layered on a coat of China Glaze Matte Magic for extra protection.
