That's where the Zoya Naked Manicure comes in to the picture. The idea is that you have polished nails, but they aren't coloured, the polish is transparent/lightly pigmented. So, the set I got has the base, a buff polish, and a satin top coat which seemed to be pretty close to my natural look.
Verdict? Not bad. The satin coat isn't all that satin, there's more shine than I would have expected, but it's not too bad. I am okay with it, it's no more so than the OPI nail envy matte strengthener, and I've been wearing that a lot recently.
In general, application is pretty standard: base coat, two coats of the polish, top coat. I wait about 2 minutes between coats, usually doing one had first and then the other. I usually give the top coat about 5 minutes before really doing anything with it. The top coat is not a quick dry, but you can use quick dry drops with it. I didn't have the drops but I'll be careful not to smudge it.
Anyways, if you have trouble with easily damaged nails, like I do, then this may be an option. As for me, I'm okay with a little sheen and I like the feel of polish on my nails. So, I'm going to stick with it for now.
