Sally Hansen Big Matte Top Coat

Hi guys! Just wanted to post a quick review of Sally Hansen's Big Matte Top Coat which I bought from Kmart for $9.95 the other day. I seem to have a matte top coat shortage so wanted to see what this was like. Now since I already had on L'Oreal Miss Pixie with Cirque Magic Hour and some stamping, I decided to topcoat it and see how it looked. Now the Sally Hansen bottle says to top coat directly to the polish you have applied, but since I already wore this with Seche Vite for a few days I thought I would see how that goes! LOL.
So here is Miss Pixie and Magic hour after the application of Sally Hansen Big Matte Top Coat

And here is the original finish of Miss Pixie and Magic Hour with Seche Vite Top Coat

As you can see, the application of Sally Hansen Big Matte Top Coat certainly mattified the Seche Vite and the look of the polish underneath. The blue of L'Oreal Miss Pixie became more opaque and the glitters in Cirque Magic Hour became more pronounced at a tiny bit less sparkly, but not by much. They also look imbedded in the blue polish rather than floating on the top. I also like how the copper of Essie Penny Talk became more like used, dull copper :) I didn't think I would love the matte look as much as the shiny, and I don't..but I quite like it as a switch up, but not as my first preference. I had no trouble with application or dry time of the Sally Hansen Big Matte Top Coat and it wore very well for the 2 days I had it on!
