it def didn't turn out matte so I was a little disappointing until I was like...oh man I may not have to buy nail polish for a long time. they had the strengthening clear polish on clearance at target a few weeks ago so i loaded up on it to make my own colors.
i just took a small platic cup and cut it do it could form a tiny bowl and poured a little clear polish and sprinkled some eyeshadow in it (it's a loose shadow by Bare Minerals called Gossip) it's a black eyeshadow with a little glitter in it. after about 3 coats it turned a dark gray color and the glitter isn't noticeable at all.
