Why is my Matte application fading?

Generally, once the top coat is applied, it should lock in the color.

Please make sure to gently tap the Matte pigment onto the nail using your Mineral Bond applicator (avoid pressing too hard as this could push the shade onto the nail plate and affect the base coat's durability). 

Also, ensure that you are lightly yet thoroughly brushing off any excess powder on the surface. All areas that appear white should be cleared. It may require some patience, but the outcome is rewarding. This technique guarantees that there is only one layer of powder. After sealing, the color should remain unchanged. We hope this is beneficial.
