What Brand Says: The Nykaa Matte Nail Polish Collection is Five Free means free from chemicals like toluene, DBP, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, camphor. It is not tested on animals (just on our team!) and contains no animal-derived ingredients.

Out of 12 shades I picked up two - Pink Meringue & Black Cherry Pie. I really liked how they've named them like chocolate, frosting, milkshakes, pie etc..

Texture & Consistency 

Pink Meringue : This is such a beautiful baby pink shade. It is the light shade which streaks on while application, though it's opaque but single coat is not enough to get that perfect finish. It has really thick consistency but one has to be really quick with the application because it dries fast (within seconds) into matte texture which makes it difficult to take off the streaky lines once set, further it takes 3-4 mins to completely dry in matte form. See swatches below:







Black Cherry Pie : This is named as black cherry but it is dark deep maroon shade which is extremely gorgeous for upcoming fall season. It has really thin consistency which spreads easily without streaking your nails, though it's opaque but I love to apply two coats to get that superb matte finish. Impressive! I think dark shades won't streak as compare to lighter ones. Check out swatches below:







Staying Power : Talking about the staying power, regular Nykaa nails paints range have stayed on quite well for more than a week, these matte collection stays well for the entire week and finish is super classy I must say!



Final Verdict : The 12 newly launch Nykaa Matte Collection have light to darker shades for upcoming fall season 2016. These have very impressive matte texture, I've become a fan of such splendid matte nail paints. One has to be really quick with the application in order to avoid streaky lines because it sets very fast. If you're on budget & want to try nail paints that have completely matte feel then you should try at least one shade from this range. Highly Recommended!

GC Rating : 4.7/5
