NOTM - ManGlaze Matte Nail Polish -Fuggen Ugly

Last month I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to try ManGlaze Matte Nail Polish. I received both colors, The Death Tar (matte black) and Fuggen Ugly (matte silver/gray). I wore The Death Tar polish for about 2 weeks and it's awesome! I tried it first without a top coat and it was SUPER matte then after about 5 days I added a top coat. Loved it. Then on my next trip to the nail salon for a fill, aka maintenance, I decided to try Fuggen Ugly. I have received so many compliments on this color it's shocking. I mean, I knew it was awesome but I never expected the reaction that I've gotten over a greyish/silver nail polish. It's subtle yet different and not too funky for my conservative work environment. Not that it would make a difference but those are where a lot of the compliments are coming from.

I noticed that Fuggen Ugly goes on smoother than The Death Tar and it isn't nearly as flat Matte as The Death Tar is. Don't get me wrong it's still very matte but when I see it I think more sueded finish than matte. And when you look at the matte versus top coat it's not as huge of a difference as there was with The Death Tar. As with The Death Tar I like both the matte and with a top coat, the only problem with the matte version is that you will be prone to more nicks and scratches but if that doesn't bother you then leave the top coat at home!

L: Fresh from the salon, as you can see its a subtle difference. R: Sorry for the blurry pic but you can see the matte a little better next to the top coated nails.

Top coat on all nails. This is after about 2.5 weeks with it on.

Fuggen Ugly is a matte grayish/silver with a hint of pearl. Almost like Mac's Silver Thorn eye shadow (from the website). This is definitely a new favorite and will become a staple in my polish collection. If I can manage to get The Death Tar back from my sister that one will too :).
