The matte finish of the nails also remains in trend. Manufacturers now offer special varnishes, but it is not necessary to purchase them. To get a stylish matte effect, you can use a top matte finish or improvised means - for example, steam from hot water. After applying any varnish, for the surface to become matte, it is enough to hold your hands over the hot steam. The main thing is to act very carefully so as not to accidentally get burned. In this case, no top coat is required, as the matte effect will be lost.
