About matte nails
A flat topcoat over any colour: makes deep shades look softer.
The finished look depends on preparation and removal as much as application. Ask which base system is being used, how it should be removed, and whether the effect can be refreshed without replacing the full set.
Do not peel cured product from the nail plate. Follow the correct soak-off or file-off method for the system, and use a professional when the product type is uncertain.
