I've been intriqued by the completely matte nails polishes, but not so much that I'm willing to hand over $22 for them or to wait for a coat of NailTek II (to which I attribute some recent problems with my nails) to dry over a polish. But I found a solution from the good folks at Nubar that I thought I'd try out before their sale is over so we could see if it really works or not.
The verdict? It works like a charm! The product is their V For Men Quick Dry Top Coat, which dried as fast as Diamont, but to a completely matte finish. I decided to keep it simple for the test drive and just tried it over black. The top coat picked up no color with zero wait time between coats, had my polish completely dry in just a few minutes, and is matte as can be.

The upshot of this find is there's no more waiting for anyone to come out with a matte color I want - the topcoat can just make anything matte. What fun!
On the topic of Nubar, tomorrow's the last day of the 20% off coupon code. The code is 20% off $50 or more through the 31st, and is nlphle2050. Their free shipping over $75 policy still applies but only after the discount is applied.
That's all I have for you today, Dear Reader. Until tomorrow, love and nail polish to you!
EDIT: I just tested the chat window I had my eye on - stupid thing put an ad right over my pic! I'll try to find another one.
New Edit: I just added a chat window. It's under "Chat" on the sidebar. You can register a profile, but don't need to. If we meed to change that later, I can. What I've found is that you can upload an avatar if you have a square pic online, and I made it so that if you're a regular commenter and you want to use your commenting name, you can password protect it by creating a profile. I don't know if I have to create it for you or if you can do it too. I password protected Siobhan, though, so the messages from Siobhan are really me.
I just checked, and you can in fact password protect your own name, so you don't need me to do it for you.
If you have questions, please post it in a comment below, as I'm sure others do too, and I'll research and answer as fully as I can. I'm figuring all this out as I go too, so we'll see how we like it and if we want changes.
