Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply Matte Top Coat?

Apply Matte Top Coat in one thin, even layer over nail polish, as your final step — the Pro-Contour Brush and self-leveling formula spread it on evenly, transforming polish from glossy to a soft-matte, luxe suede finish instantly.
- Final step only: apply after base coat and color, once lakur has set for 2-3 minutes
- Thin, even layer: the formula mattifies instantly, so a thick coat isn't needed for the effect
- Pro-Contour Brush hugs the nail shape for cleaner edges and less cleanup
- Refresh at the first sign of wear to extend the manicure's life
The mattifying effect happens instantly, so there's no need to build up multiple layers to get the full look.

How do I speed up the drying time for Matte Top Coat?

Use the Flash Dry Nail Fan or Cool Set Nail Fan to speed up Matte Top Coat's dry time — not Accelerating Drying Oil, which is formulated for glossy top coats and can interfere with this formula's mattifying finish.
- Flash Dry Nail Fan or Cool Set Nail Fan is the recommended way to cut down set time
- Skip Accelerating Drying Oil: it's built for glossy formulas like High Gloss and Gel Genius Top Coat, not this matte finish
- Thin layers dry faster than thick ones, regardless of drying method
If Accelerating Drying Oil is already part of your routine for other top coats, swap it out for a fan on the days Matte Top Coat is the finish.

How long does a manicure last with Matte Top Coat?

Wear time depends on a number of factors including prep, application, and lifestyle as much as the formula itself — starting with 2 coats of nail polish that has set for 2-3 minutes and applying a thin, even layer gives the suede-like finish the best chance to hold up over time.
- Apply over nail polish that has been allowed to set for a few minutes, so the matte finish sets evenly
- Refresh at the first sign of wear: a light top-up coat can revive the matte look before it needs a full redo
With the right prep and drying method, the suede-like finish holds up well, though day-to-day wear will still vary from person to person.

How do I remove Matte Top Coat?

Matte Top Coat removes just like a traditional nail polish — no soaking or foil-wrapping required. Nial Polish remover breaks down the matte finish and color together in one swipe.
- Saturate a cotton pad with acetone or non-acetone remover
- Press and hold against the nail for a few seconds to loosen the top layer
- Wipe away, repeating as needed until color and top coat are fully removed
This straightforward removal skips the gel curing and soak-off routine a gel manicure requires.

Can I use Matte Top Coat over any lakur, including glitter or shimmer finishes?

Yes — Matte Top Coat works over any lakur shade or finish, including glitter and shimmer, blurring and unifying the surface into one consistent matte look rather than leaving sparkle or shine poking through.
- Works over any lakur finish, including glitter, shimmer, and metallics
- Pairs well over sheer, treatment-forward formulas like Perfecting Nail Veil or Illuminating Nail Concealer, giving them a more matte-forward finish than they'd have alone
- Apply as the final step, after base coat and color, just like any other top coat

What is Matte Top Coat free from?

Matte Top Coat is formulated 21+ free, meaning it's made without 21 of the most commonly flagged ingredients in conventional nail polish, including formaldehyde, toluene, and phthalates like DBP, and it's also gluten-free, paraben-free, vegan, and cruelty-free. It's breathable too, letting oxygen and moisture reach the nail plate instead of sealing it off completely.
Key Ingredients:
- Cellulose forms the smoothing, moisture-locking shield behind the matte finish
- Silica and Florium Complex® — LONDONTOWN's botanical nail-care blend — work underneath to support the nail
That same clean-ingredient standard runs through LONDONTOWN's top coats, base coats, and lakurs alike.

Beautiful Matte Look!!!
I purchased this product in hopes that i could use it over different textures of nail polish to give my nails and color a different look. It has done a AWESOME JOB, at creating a Matte Look over my glitters,shimmers, and shiny polishes. It gives a complete different look to my nails and does a great job at covering up imperfections. I am happy with my purchase.

Easy to apply and it lasts
I think this top coat might be stronger than the gel genius… it lasted a good week without chipping and I’m rough on my nails. One coat gave the desired look.
