Quilted Matte Effect

I’ve seen it a lot on Pinterest and I’ve been wanting to do a “quilted” matte effect.  Considering it takes a lot of precision, striping tape, and a steady hand with placement, I keep putting it off.  Recently I put a glossy top coat over Julep Quinn, which is a matte “Satin Finish” polish without thinking, so I figured this would be a good chance to try the quilted matte since the polish really does look better matte.

Exclusive 10% off at Born Pretty Store

I’m always looking for new sources of nail art supplies or polishes.  Despite reaching out to many nail polish brands, I still buy all of the polish you see me talk about myself, with a few exceptions.  Recently, I discovered the Born Pretty Store as a resource for very cheap nail art supplies.  I first learned about them on Instagram, but never really followed up to look at their site until I saw them post some new dolphin water decals and a coupon code in the caption.  Sold!
