Paint the nails on one hand first. Be sure to apply a base coat, pick whatever color you want and paint on your nails. The other hand will paint later to prevent the paint from drying out too quickly.

Apply baking powder over wet nail polish. Dab a brush with baking powder, then gently cover your wet nail polish. The powder will stick to the paint. Dab a brush with the baking powder before you cover the next nail. Failure to do so will result in the brush tip sticking to the paint and damaging the painted surface.

Make sure to evenly coat your nails with baking powder. If there are gaps on the dough surface then gaps will be created on the matte effect.
You should use a soft-bristled makeup brush. If the brush is too hard, it will leave streaks on the surface of the nail.

Sweep or wash off baking soda from your nails. Remember to clean the dough. Your nails are now matte color. If the powder dries and sticks to the paint, you can dip the brush in water and try to wipe off the powder. This will help remove any remaining powder from the nail.

Repeat the process for the other hand. Apply a base coat, then paint, and apply baking powder over the nails. Next is to use a clean brush to wipe the baking powder.

Use 5x5cm square paper to make a funnel. Roll the paper into a cone shape. Make a small hole in the top so that the dough can pass through.

Open the bottle of nail polish and place the funnel in the neck. Do not let the sharp tip stick to the paint inside the bottle. If you get caught in the paint, you should extend the top part so that it doesn't fall through. Cut off the top if wet, otherwise the powder will stick in the funnel instead of the paint bottle.

Add a pinch of flour. Use a small scoop or teaspoon. You can use your finger, but it will waste the powder if it gets on your hands. Avoid adding too much powder at once so that the dough is not too thick. You can add more powder immediately.

If you are using eyeshadow, mica powder, or cosmetic mineral pigments, add some cornstarch as well. This will give the paint a more matte finish, especially if the powder is emulsion or opaque white.

Try adding 2 or 3 small iron marbles. This will help stir the paint evenly, especially if you're using clear paint. If you use dark paint, you won't need it as most of the dark paint bottles already have marbles on the inside.

Look for marbles about 3 mm in diameter. Choose a stainless steel ball for the best performance.

Close the bottle cap and shake for a few minutes. Stop shaking when the paint is even. If you are using a marbles, stop shaking when you can no longer hear the marbles clatter.

Check paint and add ingredients if necessary. Once the paint is done, you can open the bottle cap and paint it on your nails or on paper. Wait for the paint to dry to see exactly what the paint color will look like. If the polish is too thick, thin it with 1 or 2 drops of nail polish thinner. If the paint color isn't strong enough, add some cornstarch. If you use colorless paint and it's too light then add some of the eyeshadow, mica powder or mineral pigment you used.

Use a toothpick to scrape the matte eyeshadow into a small container. You can put in paper, plastic cup or small plate or cup making cupcake, muffin. Your nails will be the color of the eyeshadow you use. You should take more of the eyeshadow than the nail polish.

Be sure to crush the eyeshadow into a fine powder. If you find that the chalk is clumping, use a brush or pencil to crush it. Continue crushing the eyeshadow until you have a fine powder. If the eyeshadow is clumped, the paint will be small, not smooth.

Give nail polish a more matte color by adding cornstarch. You will need as much cornstarch as the eyeshadow. Use a toothpick to stir both types of powder until they are evenly mixed and evenly colored.

Add some colorless paint and stir with a toothpick until the dough no longer lumps. Continue stirring until the color is even and thick. If the color is too light, add some eyeshadow. Make sure the paint does not clump. Use a small toothpick if there are any clumps. Failure to do so will cause a lump to appear on the nail and appear lumpy.

Quickly paint your nails. Nail polish dries out very quickly. You just need to apply a base coat, then paint as usual. If you have leftover matte paint, you can pour it into a nail polish bottle or small glass bottle.

Start with boiling water. Fill a saucepan or saucepan with water and place it on the stove. Turn on the stove and boil the water. You will need steam to make the nail polish matte.

Make sure the nails are clean and oil-free. Nail polish will not stick to the nail if there is oil on it. Wipe nails with nail polish remover to remove any remaining lotion and cream.

Paint the base coat. Base polish will help protect your nails and keep them from staining, especially if you choose to use a dark nail polish. Base polish also helps the nail polish stick for longer.

Nail polish. It is best to apply one thin coat first, let dry and apply another thin layer. If you apply a thick layer, small bubbles may appear or the paint may peel off after it dries

Leave the nail polish wet on the steam for 3 to 5 seconds. You need to let the steam reach the nail polish, but be careful not to get your nails wet.

The nail polish must be wet, or it will not work.
Remember to move your hands back and forth and wiggle your fingers repeatedly. This allows the fingers to be exposed to the steam.

Wipe your nails with nail polish remover if your nails aren't already painted, as the nail polish won't stick to oily nails. Apply nail polish remover to a cotton ball to clean your nails.

Paint the base layer. This will protect your nails and keep them from staining, especially if you use dark nail polish.

Apply two thin coats of nail polish. Remember to let the polish dry before applying the next coat. You can use any paint color, but dark colors will look better than iridescent, shades of colors, or glitter.

Apply the topcoat over the nails and allow to dry. Some topcoats will take a long time to dry. Although it feels dry to the touch, it may still be wet underneath. Be careful with your nails for an hour or two after applying.

Note that the matte topcoat only looks good, not protects the nail. Not all matte topcoats will keep the paint from peeling.

Advice

If you use eyeshadow, choose an old, expired eyeshadow. This way, you won't have to throw the eyeshadow away, but you can also reuse it.
When applying nail polish, try to paint evenly over the tips of the nails. This will help prevent the nail from flaking.
To avoid discoloration of the nail polish, wash the polish brush with nail polish remover after you paint it. If you don't, you will make the rest of the paint matte. In addition, you can also contaminate the transparent coating.
After the matte polish dries, paint more on your nails with regular polish. It will create a nice effect. Metallic colors, such as gold, look great.
