Well manicured: matte polish is the latest nail craze

With the exception of this summer’s liquid-like metallics, nail polish hasn’t changed much since cosmetic companies began adding glitter and quirky colours like orange and blue to their lines. Until now. Matte polishes from Knockout are the newest trend in the mani-pedi world. Applying it, however, requires an extremely steady hand, so skip the home manicure and take a bottle to a professional.
