Matte Made in Heaven

For me the (very brief) warmer weather means drinks on patios, summer dresses and blister inducing footwear that require a perma pedicure. For this reason I was thrilled to learn that everyone's favourite polish purveyor OPI has launched a new collection this month. I really like the idea of designer collections that I can afford (at $10 a bottle its pretty budget friendly) and this summer's Matte collection is on a whole new level of polish innovation. Rather than coming up with new colours (because we all know they're running out of witty names for "red") OPI has relaunched six of their most popular colours in a new matte finish.

Unlike regular satin polishes this new collection has a very distinct un-shiny look. Imagine dipping your fingers in white out or perhaps colourful wall paint? You get the idea. While lacking sheen the matte polishes are anything but dull and are definitely a unique take on our old favourites. The colours (From the Top Left-Right) Russian Navy, Lincoln Park after Dark, You don't know Jacques, Alpine Snow, La Paz-itively Hot and Gargantuan Green are available now and are definitely a must have for summer toes.
