18. Gothic Romance Matte
For the dark romantics, Gothic Romance Matte combines the drama of deep plum, burgundy, or charcoal black with a velvety matte finish, accented by shiny, high-gloss details. For example, a matte black nail with a shiny, glossy black French tip, or a matte deep plum base with shiny, hand-painted Victorian roses in the same shade. It is a dramatic, tactile contrast that is incredibly sensual.
The play between matte and gloss is highly sophisticated and unexpected. It is a look that begs to be looked at closely, making it perfect for intimate conversations over dim lighting, concerts, or late-night dessert dates.
