Matte matte matte – it’s literally everywhere, lending itself to so many different types of make up. Knock Out cosmetics produces a line of matte nail polishes that are available at point of purchase in a certain Canadian retailer. I admittedly let my impulsive tendency to buy useless things get the best of me (ack, hey, first step is to address it) and I went home with this as an add on to grabbing a slopping slouchy crop shirt (side note…sorry, I digress). The concept behind these matte polishes is that they’re brush and go – no top coat or anything else necessary. While the packaging is slick (well, matte and perfect to be specific), the product itself isn’t strong. Let’s say it’s…”chipper”. It chips. Easily, and a lot. And it makes me think my nails have become a chalkboard (forget nails on a chalkboard, this is more agitating).

Also a bad time for their website to go down (www.koknockout.com). It’s got some great promise, just didn’t quite deliver at over $20+ a bottle.
