OPI - Lincoln Park After Dark Matte

Hello all! We are nearing the end of my vacation and my scheduled posts...

Today's post is a bit of a sad one because I'm just showing you a kinda sad swatch on some super short sad nails. Heh.


This is OPI - Lincoln Park After Dark Matte.
I really wanted to get all the OPI Mattes after falling in love with the suedes, but they just aren't the same without that shimmer!
This also took 3 coats to even out fully which was a bummer.
It just didn't give me that nice, smooth look I wanted. I do adore the color though.


Lesson learned, I definitely like shimmery suede better than flat matte.

Some day I'll have to post all the Lincoln Park polishes at once!
Lincoln Park After Dark, Lincoln Park After Dark Matte, Lincoln Park After Dark Suede, Lincoln Part At Midnight...

  2. I LOVE the OPI Suede's, and the matte's definitely don't hold a candle to the suede's. I have two of the mattes, and both of them are streaky messes.....I also have 2 suedes which I absolutely love! Both suedes are almost perfect in one coat and since they dry super quick,they are perfect for those mornings before work where you aren't happy with what you have on, and need something on your nails. Yeah, I've done that a couple times!

  5. I have this and have yet to wear it. The photos are not sad at all- they make me want to dig this out of my stash! I love the suedes too but matte isn't so bad either :)

  10. I only have a few of the mattes - thinking the one I like the most is a hot pink one - from the Greek Isles collection names as I recall..but am with you - like the Suedes a ton - not so much the mattes...and the goodies the suedes show up with when you put a shinny clear over them are just amazing.
