While matte polishes may getting more popular, Instyle says they're not for newbies as they are harder to apply. "Nails need to be perfectly buffed or bumps will show," says the magazine. "Stick with dark shades like gunmetal, as they're easier to apply."

Featured polishes are Zoya Matte Velvet in Loredana, OPI Matte Russian Navy, and Essie Matte About You matte finisher.
