ulta3 Black Plum is a dark red-purple semi-transparent polish with lots of microglitter particles. It's one of my favourite polishes that I wear whenever I can't decide what to wear, or when I'm uninspired - it features a lot on my toes!
I've recently started putting a matte topcoat (Rimmel Matte Pro Mattifying Topcoat, borrowed from my sister a few more times than the word "borrow" really allows) over it on the second day or so, which gives an interesting effect - the glitter is still visible, but subdued. It's definitely a great way to change up an old favourite!
Also, I have 50 followers now - thank you so much for all your reading and following lovely GIrlies! I think it's time for a giveaway soon... ;)

ReplyDeleteMmm yes, I was surprised! :)
DeleteIt does look great matte! :)
ReplyDeleteI love how interesting the little microglitter is - much cooler than a plain matte creme!
DeleteGreat matte!
ReplyDeleteIt is, isn't it? Micro gliter + matte = <3

ReplyDeleteThere are very few matte polishes I've seen that I actually like and this is one of them. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI'm not too fond of matte on creme, but on some shimmers it's really cool!
Deleteso pretty!! looks great on you
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteThis is such a pretty color-although I prefer shiny!
ReplyDeleteI'm so undecided - after a few days of wearing glossy I prefer matte, and after a few days of wearing matte I prefer shiny again!
DeleteI'm not usually a fan of the matte look, but this look really great! Well done :)
ReplyDeleteI have to admit - I'm obsessed with matte top coat at the moment :\
DeleteI love this reddish-purple color, it looks fantastic matte! I don't have a matte top coat yet but when I get it I will keep this in mind as a great color to mattify!
ReplyDeleteMatte over chunky shimmer is really lovely :)
DeleteLOVE how this looks matte! I love matt polishes over shimmers or creams that have glitter on them, because it makes the glitter almost look like it was frozen.
ReplyDeleteI agree, matte over glitter is so pretty! It also makes it easier to photograph ;)
