"Mattes have a reputation for not lasting as long as regular polishes," celeb manicurist Kimmie Kyees says. Starting with a base coat will prevent yellow stains and keep matte polish on.

Glamour features these products: Zoya Matte-Velvet Nail Polish in Harlow, CND Super Matte topcoat, OPI Matte Nail Lacquer in You Don't Know Jacques! and La Paz-itively Hot.
