Matte Velvet - Distressed and Fractured |
For this design I wanted to play around with three Zoya Matte Velvet polishes I picked up awhile back. Since mattes tend to be very opaque and dry fast, I thought they would be good for doing a distressed design. Turns out the Matte Velvets are not as matte or opaque as I thought they'd be. They definitely need 2 coats, and they dry to a satin-matte finish.

To add some interested, I decided to throw in some gold, and also do a fracture-like pattern. The point was not to make the fractured pattern precise, but to make it distressed and textured like the rest. I kind of like the finished look, but I feel like it's not "there" yet. I don't know why.

To get this look:
- Base: Zoya Matte Velvet Dovima
- Distressed look: Zoya Matte Velvet Dovima, Veruschka, Savita, and Orly Luxe
- Fractured pattern: Orly Luxe
- Small round gold studs
What do you think of this? Have you tried the Zoya Matte Velvets?
