Of the matte topcoats I've used, this is the only one where I've faced the following conundrum. My initial use of this topcoat left me with gorgeous matte nails, just as I had wanted, but as I've...

It does precisely as advertised -- creates a wonderful matte finish to otherwise glossy polishes! I placed it over Wet n' Wild black + Essie Shine of the Times and it looks incredible. However,...

This stuff works perfectly for me. I love being able to change up the finish on my nail polishes without having to buy a ton more bottles. I would never buy another matte topcoat, because I have no...

Hard Candy's Matte Topcoat is amazing. It creates a lush, but matte finish to any polish you apply to. For $4, you really can't go wrong with picking up a bottle. It dried very quickly, and can...

I've only owned two matte polishes previous, E.L.F matte top coat and China Glaze's matte topcoat (old formula). Out of the three the Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love is by far the best. I do a lot...

I kind of think the 2 l/s rating isn't reflective of the product as it sounds like it did what it should but respect the opinion. This is a matte top coat and in the bottle it is a transparent...

I've never owned a matte top coat before, mostly because I was driven away by the prices of other brands. Since I was only looking to have some fun with my nail polish, I figured that paying less...

I've only ever had one other matte TC to compare this to(the Claire's version), but IMO this is pretty good. I like it, it gives a smooth, absolutely-matte finish & dries quickly. It's got a...
