Matte Konad experiment

Just a quick post to show something I tried. I was curious if a matte coat would work out stamped over regular polish...not so well. I also tried a matte base with the same color stamped over it...also not so well. It worked but you can barely tell. I may try this again with a bolder Konad design at some point.

Essie Matte About You stamped over Sinful Deepest Ruby.

I think my dislike of this has a lot to do with my dislike of red in general. I feel like they make my nails looks sloppy and just eh...

Wet N' Wild Black with Essie Matte About You over it. Stamped with Wet N' Wild Black.

Excuse the mess but I removed this right after. Anyone else tried this before?

I think with a better Konad stamp it will look awesome (I'm thinking leopard or zebra but I'm so sick of using them all the time!) but I think this is too delicate.
