The matte top coat completely smooths out the polish so you get a lovely finish, and I rally like this effect, it's still gorgeous but a little less bling (See previous post for swatches of OPI Absolutely Alice on its own). Now I can see why this polish is often compared to OPIs Reflecting Pool, here is the same manicure with OPI Reflecting Pool on the thumb (please excuse the mess I made)
The blue shade on Reflecting Pool is a little more dusty and not quite as "royal" blue as Absolutely Alice, but with the matte top coat, these two become a lot more similar in effect, I'm definitely tempted to try the matte top coat over more glitter polishes though, I didn't expect to like the results quite so much :)
Here are some swatches of the two polishes on their own:

Gorgeous!! Absolutely gorgeous :D
ReplyDeleteMeeza thinkin' that OPI Reflecting Pool and Zoya Chrystal might be a match. :) Too bad I don't have the OPI, I'd do a comparison.
ReplyDeletefrom the photos I've seen online I think Zoya Crystal is nearly identical! :):)
