How to get burnt orange matte oval nails at home

Prep: push back cuticles, buff the shine off the nail plate and wipe with alcohol so the base coat grips.
Shape: File the sides straight, then round the tip evenly so it mirrors the shape of your cuticle.
Apply base coat.
Paint two even coats of burnt orange.
Finish with a matte top coat — no glossy layer on top.
Finish with cuticle oil once everything is dry.

Pro tip: Matte top coat can look patchy over thick layers; keep color coats thin and even.

Does matte nail polish chip faster?

It doesn’t chip faster, but matte finishes can look shiny or scuffed at the tips after a week. Refresh with another thin matte top coat.

What is the difference between oval and almond nails?

Oval tips are evenly rounded; almond tips taper to a softer point. Oval is more natural and a bit stronger.

Does burnt orange nail polish suit my skin tone?

Burnt orange and copper shine on warm and deep skin; peach and coral lift fair and neutral skin.
