Chi Chi - Jitterbug + Matte


Oh, how much do I love my Essie Matte About You.

I could not have predicted how lovely Jitterbug would look once it was matte-ified. 

It loses the shine that I loved about the lacquer, but it gets replaced with something that is just so modern, and cute, and perfect for our Australian summer.

And, for whatever reason, the issues I've had around longevity disappears when this is turned into a matte.  I can't figure it out.  I was fully expecting this to chip, but it didn't. 

It stayed matte for two days before I started to get minor tip wear. 

If anyone can explain why this would happen, I'd love to hear a scientific - or any really - reason.
