I love the matte finishes. What looks good on me are: fabrics with some texture, heathery colors, and matte nail polishes. My coloring is low-contrast between the lightest and darkest colors on my body, my skin is heavily freckled. I have the matte nail polish top coat and use it on all my nail polish colors and they look so much better. (Really, nothing about me is smooth or shiny or a solid color so it makes sense the matte finish looks best on me.) While the matte nail polish finish may be a trend, it certainly is a good look for my own complexion and clothing.

I think the right shade of matte polish (maybe a rich milk-chocolate or deep velvety burgundy, or for winter, navy), paired with a perfect short, clean manicure, could look very chic.
It’s definitely a “trend” look and not a classic one, but I like the raw-yet-luxe feel of it… I reckon it’ll be picked up by fans of designers who tend toward more deconstructed, edgier looks. “Unfinished finished”. It’ll be interesting to see if it catches on in the mainstream

I’m thinking it might be a cool trend, particularly for the fall and winter months. Think of the look and texture of velvet.

You know, I’m right there with you. I’m a high-gloss kind of gal too, and the matte look just doesn’t appeal to me at all…but let’s face it, there are a lot of things in “fashion trends” that don’t appeal to me….LOL!

I’m very unsure about this… I do like the matte nail polish, but I agree that the main point would be look like your nails are POLISHED. hehe And I do agree with both you girls line of thoughts. But I guess I like it.
Let’s see how this one is going to turn out… mmmm…
