Discover how easy it is to make your nail polish last longer with a matte base

It would be wonderful if the nail polish lasted longer and was easier to apply, right? What if we told you that this is possible thanks to the matte base? If you don’t know this product, don’t worry! We have prepared an article to clear all your doubts. Follow below:

What is a matte foundation and what is it used for?

The matte base is a nail polish base that has a rough layer that creases and fills in the voids in the nail. The enamel penetrates these rough parts, making it last longer because it is more difficult to chip.

In addition, as the name implies, the matte base will also remove the shine from the enamel and leave it matte. In some cases, it also helps in the application of more difficult nail polishes and helps not to stain them.

The best matte foundations

Now that you have discovered the function of this foundation, we have separated options from the best brands for you to know more details about them. Check out:

1. Top Beauty Matte Foundation – $

Affordable and offering great results, Top Beauty is another foundation option, promising to facilitate application without leaving the nail polish thick.

“It takes a while for the matte effect to appear, but when it dries completely, the result is amazing! One of its positive points is that it doesn’t leave the nail polish looking thick, some foundations like that tend to make the nail polish thicker, taking a while to really dry and just drying on top, this one didn’t change at all and it dried really fast.” – Paulina Assalin

2. Impala Matte Base – $$

Impala promises an instant satin matte finish for any nail polish and super-fast drying. All this to facilitate the application of the enamel. But be careful: the brand advises that extra shine, oil or drying spray are not used, as this eliminates the benefits of the product.

“It transforms the shine of the nail polish into a modern matte finish, in addition to prolonging the durability on the nails. The price? On average R$ 2.00! Here in Fortaleza, unfortunately, I don’t see the brand for sale anymore, but I used to buy it when I had it and I highly recommend it!” – Nalu

5. Dailus Matte Foundation – $$$

The Dailus base facilitates the application of clear nail polishes, preventing them from staining. The brand has launched a new packaging, which has a blue cap and highlights the function of the base during nail preparation. This product can also be used to remove yellowing from nails.

“I love the Dailus Matte Foundation, it’s my favorite, it has a beautiful packaging with 8ml of product and the brush is of great quality. It’s easy to apply and just one coat leaves this beautiful matte effect on the nails, it dries fast and doesn’t form bubbles either.” – Mania Review
