According to Allure, the process of creating your own matte French manicure at home is simple. You first paint your nails with a layer of matte topcoat polish. Then, you let them fully dry before adding the gloss to the nail tip. To do this, you simply take the glossy polish you want to accent your base color and swipe a single stripe of it horizontally across the tip of your nail. The best part of this is that it's completely customizable. You could do matte black nails with a silver or white stripe, colorful nails with a black or white stripe — anything you want to do to express yourself!
Some nail products are particularly suited for this trendy look. According to Seventeen, LAQA and Co.'s Tuxedo Dual-Tip Nail Polish Pen contains both the matte and the gloss polishes in one pen, and mistakes are harder to see due to the two polish styles being the same shade. Moreover, they recommend Revlon's Nail Art Shiny Matte Duos, which also come with two polishes to create a matte and glossy combination look.
If you've never tried this style before, why not give it a shot? It's quick, and you can use any nail products you have at home to create something cute that you — and everyone that sees you — will adore.
