No consumer-grade products that fade to semi-gloss by the end of the week. We use a professional matte formula that cures correctly under LED and holds the velvet texture through real South Florida conditions.
Matte over a rushed or improperly cured gel base will not hold. We cure each layer correctly before the matte top coat goes on. The foundation matters as much as the finish.
Professional matte finish is uniform, not chalky or uneven. We check the application across all ten nails before you leave. If a nail does not match the rest, we fix it before your appointment ends.
If the matte is uneven, faded too quickly, or simply not what you envisioned, come back within 5 days and we make it right at no charge. That is why we have 184+ five-star reviews in Hialeah. We stand behind the work.
We discuss what you want, look at your nails, and give you the number before we start. Adding a matte finish, mixing finishes, or doing nail art on top — all of it is priced and confirmed before the first brush touches your nail.
We do not use consumer-grade matte top coats that fade to semi-gloss by the weekend. Our professional formula cures correctly under LED and maintains the velvet texture through humidity, heat, and daily use.

Matte top coats are one of the finishes most affected by South Florida humidity. A product that holds texture in a dry climate starts going semi-gloss here within days. We use a professional matte formula specifically because it cures and holds differently than consumer products.

With professional products and proper aftercare, two to three weeks with the matte texture intact. Consumer-grade matte fades faster, especially in South Florida humidity. Our professional formula holds the velvet finish significantly longer.
Yes. Matte top coat goes over any nail service. If your existing gel is in good condition, we apply the matte finish over it at your next appointment. No need to start from scratch.
Yes. Mixed finishes are one of the most popular requests we get. Matte base with a gloss accent nail, matte with gel nail art on top, matte background with chrome accents. Tell us what you want and we will walk you through the options.
Matte surfaces can show fine surface scratches more visibly than gloss because they do not reflect light in a way that masks them. This is why proper top coat application matters. Our professional matte formula is harder and more scratch-resistant than consumer products.
Yes, but apply it at the cuticle base only, not directly on the matte surface. Oils can create glossy patches on matte top coats. We walk you through the exact aftercare at your appointment.
Adding a matte top coat to a gel manicure has a small additional cost. Mixed finishes and nail art combinations are priced at your appointment based on what you want. You get the exact number before we start.
