Would You Go Matte?

Matte nail polish seems to be popping up all over this summer, but we've never seen a beauty trend divide our office more. And thanks to the new Essie mattifying topcoat Matte About You-which makes any shiny shade dull-the debate has got even more heated. Some staffers are excited, and wearing it over black and purple shades for a tough-girl, rocker vibe. Others, well, they hate matte polish on a visceral level (several compared it to the "nails on a chalk board" feeling.) So where do you fall in this great debate? Are you mad about matte?
